Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton slammed Russia's meddling in the U.S. presidential election, describing it as an "act of aggression" meant to influence the election, and said potential collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians should be looked at.

"I am deeply concerned about what went on with Russia," she said, adding that she favors an independent non-partisan investigation into the hacking.

Clinton spoke at the Women in the World conference in New York City on Thursday. The conference marks the first time that Clinton has answered interview questions publicly since losing the presidential election in November to Donald Trump.

The FBI is currently investigating Moscow's efforts to interfere in the election, in which Trump clinched a surprise win and emails from high-profile Democrats were leaked online. The FBI is also investigating whether people associated with Trump's campaign coordinated with Russia.

1. And the probe should be long, hard and electrified. eom

2. Recent events included just too convenient as a distraction.

I doubt they will be investigated but at least up to pre Trump administration will get attention.

3. We are Gearing Up at Last. Tough Cookie.

4. The FBI is already on it

Obama had them working on it even while he was still in office.
I'm pretty sure it started right after the November election.

I think Hillary is just stating the obvious, in case anyone in the audience has any doubts.

7. I think the FBI was already keeping tabs on him because of Felix Sater

A Trump associate low-level mobster turned FBI mob informant who was farmed out to "another agency". I think Randi Rhodes mentioned it.

Why FBI Can’t Tell All on Trump, Russia

The Federal Bureau of Investigation cannot tell us what we need to know about Donald Trump’s contacts with Russia. Why? Because doing so would jeopardize a long-running, ultra-sensitive operation targeting mobsters tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin — and to Trump.

But the Feds’ stonewalling risks something far more dangerous: Failing to resolve a crisis of trust in America’s president. WhoWhatWhy provides the details of a two-month investigation in this 6,500-word exposé.

The FBI apparently knew, directly or indirectly, based upon available facts, that prior to Election Day, Trump and his campaign had personal and business dealings with certain individuals and entities linked to criminal elements — including reputed Russian gangsters — connected to Putin.

The same facts suggest that the FBI knew or should have known enough prior to the election to justify informing the public about its ongoing investigation of potentially compromising relationships between Trump, Putin, and Russian mobsters — even if it meant losing or exposing a valued informant. ...

5. Glad to see she is speaking out.

And I agree with her 100%. This needs to be investigated thoroughly.

6. It will be probed.

Some republicans are smart enough to realize this is needed. Another foreign power could hack our elections software in 2018 or 2020 and help Democrats win yuge majorities.
