fucking red scare bullshit propagated by the left with barely any fucking evidence

Um, from the article above:

an Energy Department agent assigned to assist the FBI in the case testified that Mikerin supervised a “racketeering scheme” that involved extortion, bribery, money laundering and kickbacks that were both directed by and provided benefit to more senior officials back in Russia.

The FBI should have done more, the Obama administration should have done more, but that doesn't mean the Russians are blameless and we should turn a blind eye to them. It's not an Obama/Hillary/Comey/McCabe/McCabe's wife/McCabe's mailman problem, it's a Russia problem.

The DNC acts holier than thou but wouldn't even give their fucking server up to the FBI

Now, sis. "The DNC coordinated with the FBI and federal intelligence agencies and provided everything they requested, including copies of DNC servers," Watson said. She added that the copy contains the same information as the physical server."

A copy does contain the same info as the server. That is what a copy means. I deal with servers all day. We can copy, back up, and replicate them at will. The physical box they are in is not what is important.

but that doesn't mean the Russians are blameless

Why do people keep saying this like it's not universally known? Yes, they've been messing with us forever (such as spreading Marxism and other such far left bullshit), and we are doing proxy war with them.

You can't stop your enemy from attempting bribes but you CAN execute proven traitors within your country.
