Hillary Clinton
Former U.S. Secretary of state and former presidential candidate from Democratic party on presidential election of 2016, Hillary Clinton in an interview with Variety, said the President of Russia Vladimir Putin intends to “crush US”.
In her opinion, “the technological forces that have conspired to sabotage her presidential bid in 2016,” continue to influence American policy.
“I think it’s important to learn the real lessons of the last (presidential — ed. “Of the tape.ru”) campaign. [Technological] forces are interested not only in influencing elections and policy. They will also affect the economy and our unity as a nation,” Clinton said.
She said that the misinformation campaign, which allegedly led Russia, has reduced her chances to win the elections. This was achieved through social networks, which were not ready to deal with “fake news.”
Clinton said that for the first time in the history of the “technological revolution was used as a political weapon”.
“It is important to Americans, to people in technology and business have realized that Putin wants to crush us (USA— approx. “Of the tape.ru”). He is an old KGB agent,” said Clinton.
After the presidential elections in the United States conducted an investigation of alleged external interference in the election campaign. The initiators of the proceedings, many of whom were supporters of the democratic party and the Clinton impose on Russia responsible for a series of cyber attacks against American political organizations.
The CIA, FBI and NSA had previously prepared a report, which claimed that President Vladimir Putin personally ordered to organize a campaign in order to win trump. Moscow has consistently rejected all such accusations.
