re: Never understood how the Russians could interfere with the election?

1. They hacked real DNC e-mails and released them to the public via Wikileaks. The actual horrific acts perpetrated by the DNC, up to and including the 2016 Democratic nominee for President and her chief of staff, and documented in those e-mails were not the story. The story was that the Russians hacked them, even though it has been proven with the democrats favorite go-to, SCIENCE, that there is no way that the Russians actually could have hacked these e-mails and this was most likely an inside operation (probably Seth Rich).

2. They got uberhackers to post bot postings all over American social media which, somehow, forced people to vote for someone that they never would have voted for had they not viewed these sinister bots.

3. I'm pretty sure the Russians also convinced James Comey to come out with the stuff about Hilary right before the election, then retract it a week later after it was too late.

Man, that Vladimir Putin is playing 6D chess while we in America (including all of our intelligence community) are playing checkers.
