Americans keep looking away from the elections most alarming story
In assessing Donald Trump’s presidential victory, Americans continue to look away from this election’s most alarming story: the successful effort by a hostile foreign power to manipulate public opinion before the vote.
U.S. intelligence agencies determined that the Russian government actively interfered in our elections. Russian state propaganda gave little doubt that this was done to support Republican nominee Trump, who repeatedly praised Vladimir Putin and excused the Russian president’s foreign aggression and domestic repression. Most significantly, U.S. intelligence agencies have affirmed that the Russian government directed the illegal hacking of private email accounts of the Democratic National Committee and prominent individuals. The emails were then released by WikiLeaks, which has benefited financially from a Russian state propaganda arm, used Russian operatives for security and made clear an intent to harm the candidacy of Hillary Clinton.

Why hasn't Comey been canned yet? And who hacked the DNC and other Dems? Let's focus on what is within our jurisdiction. How people acted from outside our jurisdiction is relevant if it was controlled by actors inside the U.S., say via a server in Russia.
Put simply, what part of the 2016 shenanigans was Republicans at work? Their innocence is not part of our platform folks!
