In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY, Hillary Clinton said she is now convinced that associates of candidate Donald Trump helped Russia meddle in the 2016 presidenti­al election.

Clinton hasn’t accepted responsibi­lity. If you take responsibi­lity, you don’t point fingers. Chad Clausen

The Trump campaign probably colluded with Russians before to the 2016 election. Together they stole all the maps of the U.S., so the Clinton campaign was unable to see that there are states connected to the Great Lakes. The Clintons had no choice but to visit California repeatedly and make derogatory statements about working-class families. Impeach President Trump, now. It’s the only way we, and Hillary, can move on. Eric Wittman

Russians hacked into the Democratic National Committee accounts and paid for Facebook ads directed at certain minds. The chumps in Trump’s campaign team were identified by Russians, and they were fed lies and propaganda.

This was a very calculated attack on U.S. democracy. Clinton is right. This is not a partisan issue. This is about our country losing its democracy. Ann Davis

She still has no clue why people rejected her. It was Sen. Bernie Sanders, it was former FBI director James Comey, it was Matt Lauer, it was the Russians, it was the DNC, it was Santa’s elves, etc. Clinton lost for one reason: She focused her attention on the liberal elites and identity politics. It can be summed up in her comment that half of Trump supporters are a basket of deplorable­s. David Nelson

The Trump campaign’s possible collusion with a foreign government against U.S. sovereignt­y drives destabiliz­ation of our country — a Russian objective. David Gregory

Clinton, consider the possibilit­y you lost in 2008 and 2016 because of your shortcomin­gs, not the machinatio­ns of all who did not share your opinion of your own wonderfuln­ess. Raoul Duke

Our followers shared their thoughts on Hillary Clinton saying she’s convinced Donald Trump’s associates helped Russia meddle in the 2016 presidenti­al election.

What happened to being the graceful loser? It seems like every month Clinton finds someone else to blame for her loss. @mws5689 It must be horrible to be very intelligen­t and yet vilified by so many, who only know what others tell them. Politics can be so ugly. @kirkparent­2 I have no doubt that Clinton would’ve lost the presidenti­al election anyway, while Sen. Bernie Sanders might have beaten Trump. @Denkend_Holland There is no doubt in my mind, either. Trump was Russian President Vladimir Putin’s pick. @jrsuppon Clinton is really embarrassi­ng herself. How is her family not telling her that this book is a car crash? @WorldOfTru­th1 For more, follow @USATOpinio­n or #tellusatod­ay.
