Russia tried to influence election - For sure. Putin underlings went public on Trump being preferable.


So having an opinion is likened to influencing an election? C'mon now.

What would you call sending your people out to talk up one candidate over another?

And honestly, who cares? I'm not talking about the entire scenario, but in this instance, who cares if Russia tried to sway American voters by...gasp...arguing in support of one candidate? You can debate what that means, and whether a Russian endorsement is good or bad, but I don't think it's facially problematic.

I think reasonable people can use the phrase "tried to influence" there and distinguish it from more dark and problematic allegations re: exertions of influence, don't you agree?
