So I get it some Russians hacked into our net infrastructure and "meddled". So what the flying F did the meddle in??!! Why can't anyone ever describe what they did? And why should we give a shite? We (the U.S.) do plenty of offensive hacking as well...we have military and government agencies that specifically have this type of job...it is not something new.

Lol. You guys are getting closer to accepting the truth. This question has been asked on the board so many times today but never before now. Sounds like you guys are getting close to acceptance

And for the record I'm not defending Russia here....I'm just asking a commonsense question that no one ever seems to spell out. And why should I care?? Did they affect the outcome of our election? That part has been answered and it's a resounding "NO". So why can't we just move on?

Remember the days when the entire idea of Russian involvement was a farce? My how those goalposts have moved since then.

Good times

Trump won. Hillary didn't. This is all the proof you need of Russian interference and meddling.

They have been doing it since the thirties brah. The only reason this matters was it's her turn.

It could be days before a lib actually posts a fact based, well reasoned response to this question.

No, they always have "meddled", but Trump won an election that she should have won. #herturn

Newt said it about a year ago, "Russia has always meddled in our elections, we've always known this."

I don't see what that has to do with anything. The intelligence community had a problem with what was going on and all of this country should have that same problem right now.

The Russians hacked into the DNC server in order to help Donald Trump win. Hard to say how much the email scandal hurt Hillary and her campaign but I would say it was certainly effective. That is meddling in our democracy on a very large scale so I'm not sure what you would like to compare it to.

Russia meddles. The US meddles.

Meddling has never been a question.

In fact, I'd wager that we are biggest meddlers in the world.

We had the intelligence community meddle so much that we go into a war over WMDs and didn't find much in the way of WMDs in Iraq. The ever trusted IC.

No, it was about the outcome. If Hillary had won, there would be no investigation and certainly no SC and you know it.

Obama told us Russia couldn’t meddle and he was in charge of all the intelligence agencies. Why should we not believe him? Also, when we say “Russia” meddled, do we have concrete evidence that it was directed by the Kremlin and not just Gufficer types out there? Also, John McAfee, who is one of the top experts on the matter, says that if it was a professional hacker from a State....they would be able to hide it in a way that would be impossible to prove without a doubt where it came from......

But either way, Trump does need to learn the difference between the accusations that he colluded and Russia “meddling.” He seems to think when people say they meddled, that it was him telling them to do so as collusion

Exactly my point...they are quick to claim Trump is in bed with the Kremlin, however they can never show how or why. And the same goes for showing proof that the Russians (which could be anyone in Russia not just Russian spies)"meddled" in our elections.

I mean what the F did they do, make a unflattering Meme of Hillary? Big whoop, can't people formulate there own opinions of candidates by substantial information such as their policies and debate performances? If you relied on what social media said as you sole basis for voting for a particular candidate then you are an IDIOT.

No. We must just accept that meddling took place because it would somehow be unpatriotic to think otherwise.

So in the face of this terrible thing and Donald Trump throwing intelligence Community under the bus to a hostile foreign power all you can do is throw out a hypothetical scenario in order to make it okay? I hope you realize how stupid all of this sounds

It’s hard to take anyone serious that is mad at the Russians for “hacking” yet excuses the content they released. That is my problem with the whole situation.
