Yeah, but just realize this isn't what it seems. The reward isn't being offered due to REAL expected "foreign meddling" in the election. No, it's more to make a point about the 2016 election, and the constant refrain of "Russia! Russia! Russia!"... that point being that Russia did NOT interfere, including the supposed "hack". Not only was the "Trump collusion" accusation a lie from the start, there was no one he could have "colluded" with even if he wanted to. In other words, Russia was not involved either. Not sure I can say the truth here (and what's about to become widely, publicly known very soon), but it was NOT Russia who hacked the servers, it was not even a "remote" job. It was an "inside" job, which turned out to be very costly. Some of you already know this, so that's as much as I'll say.

But yeah, this "bounty" offer is just our way of saying "So, you people who pretend that Russia messed with the election and plans to do it again... put your money where your mouth is."
