Yep, and it was more than a government program. It was a coordinated military attack, “savvier” and “cleaner” than launching a bomb or staging an assassination.
The GOP’s current narrative for Russia’s election attack is that OK, it happened, but it didn’t succeed. Yet, that’s materially false: Putin has admitted that Trump was the candidate he wanted in office and he’s benefitting from that in every way. He likely thinks he succeeded.
That’s the problem. He has no reason to stop, despite McConnell saying, “He better stop!” How is that even convincing.
If Russia actively influences the midterms in Trump’s favor, which would be in the GOP’s favor, am I supposed to believe McConnell would mind or actually do anything.
