"Hackers (that allegedly influenced the US presidential campaign - TASS) may be anywhere. They may be in Russia, in Asia, in America, in Latin America. There may be hackers, by the way, in the United States who very cunningly and professionally passed the buck to Russia," Putin said in an interview with NBC News anchor Megyn Kelly.
"In the middle of an internal political fight, it was convenient for them, for whatever reason, to put out that information. And put it out they did. And, in doing it, they invoked Russia," he asserted. "Can't you imagine it happening? I can."
Putin suggested recalling the assassination of US President John Kennedy in 1963.
"There is a theory that Kennedy's assassination was set up by the United States special services," he noted. "If this theory is correct, and one cannot rule it out, thus what can be easier in today's situation, given the entire technical capabilities available to special services than to organize some kind of attacks in an appropriate manner while alluding to Russia in the process."
Accusations against Russia are likely to come from supporters of the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton who lost the election.
"Now, the candidate from the Democratic Party, is this candidate universally beloved in the United States? Was she such a popular person? That candidate, too, had political opponents and rivals," Putin noted.
The 35th US President, John F. Kennedy, was fatally shot on November 22, 1963 during his trip to Dallas (Texas). In line with conclusions of the commission led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, known unofficially as the Warren Commission, Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, who was shot and killed two days later.
Nonetheless, there are numerous conspiracy theories circulating, chiefly one about US intelligence agencies' involvement. So far, none of the theories has been proven.
Well, the official version is accepted as the true version of the events surrounding Kennedy's death because it comes from the US government which supposedly never lies or deceives, but most of the time “official” versions of events leave a lot of questions unanswered or are full of discrepancies, inconsistencies. Consider 9/11 and the hole in the Pentagoon, and that supposedly an aluminum large passenger plane went through six walls of concrete fortified with steel, or what about the official version that contends that Muslim pilots, who could barely pilot a small single engine plane, were able to fly huge passenger jets? What about the official reasons put forth regarding the invasion of Iraq? Were any weapons of mass destruction found? Quite likely one could write a thick book about all the times the US government has lied and deceived with “official” versions of events……….So, most likely, if you want to find the truth, look into the so called conspiracy theories about any particular event, and you will likely find more truth in those than in “official” versions.
