If Russia is so powerful that it can install a puppet ruler in the most powerful nation on the planet, then why can't beat rebels in Syria? It makes 0 sense. Either Russia is very powerful or Russia is very weak. Take your pick.
You are conflating Military force with Cyber-Propaganda-Interference Campaigns..
You are aware that Russia has been busted doing the same all across Europe in recent years?
The US was just caught off guard, we thought they would never try it with us.
But Putin's hatred of Hillary combined with his furry regarding US Sanctions made him think less of the risk involved.
GOP in Congress...virtually across the board now...are not disputing that Russia interfered.
You can debate the effect and we will never really know anyways...It's a mute point.
Defending against future attacks is NOT a mute point..and to do that we need to know what happened.
If that leads to Trump or his campaign Team having worked in unison with Russia..That needs to be handled as well.
Neither can be tolerated and both need to be defended against in future elections.

Mr.McAfee pretty much Proves the Russians were not involved here....
Across the federal government, about 90 percent of all spending on cyber programs is dedicated to offensive efforts, including penetrating the computer systems of adversaries, listening to communications and developing the means to disable or degrade infrastructure, senior intelligence officials told Reuters.

Snicker snicker,,,Poor Trump supporters, this aint going away anytime soon.
You see not only are your heroes corrupt but dumb as doorknobs as well.
I told you last year he was in hock to Putin & now it's all coming to light because they were too arrogant & stupid to cover their corruption.
Clinton Watts, senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute called it right when he said that Trump is concerned with Trump first, Russia second & America third.
