How Russia is trying to rig the U.S. election

Donald Trump is right that someone is trying to rig the US election, but it is not Hillary Clinton: it is the Kremlin, and Trump is an accomplice, whether or not he realizes it.
Trump has parroted at least one allegation which began in the Kremlin media. He has benefited from Kremlin-linked hackers, and there are hints that his online support is being influenced by Russian-linked social media accounts.

Trump has long argued that the electoral system is rigged against him. Usually, his accusations are so sweeping that it is hard to know what exactly he has in mind — targeting the “disgusting and corrupt media” or the “100 percent crooked” system of primaries, for example.

But on September 28 he came out with a much more specific allegation, claiming that Google has been “suppressing the bad news about Hillary Clinton.”
