So this just wasn't a bunch of sore losers or "deep staters" out to cast doubt on the outcome of the election (as I am sure the ignorati on here will claim). This included intelligence gathered from our allies (note...some of the same allies Trump now denigrates at every opportunity).
Yet, despite having been shown proof of meddling, our inglorious President stills muddies the waters every time this issue comes up. Still claims not to trust the intelligence. Still gets on his knees before Putin. Still can't come to say that Russia and Putin interfered in our election without immediately stating in the next sentence that "it could have been anyone".
Instead of working doubly hard to bring this country back together, Trump goes above and beyond to divide. Instead of working doubly hard to build up our relations with our allies in a worldwide effort to apply pressure on and isolate Russia, Trump does the opposite; spending all his efforts on isolating the US from its allies and attempting to raise the status of Putin and Russia.
Gee...now why would any of the be?
Two weeks before he was inaugurated.
That is how long ago:
Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election.
The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation.
He was briefed that day by John O. Brennan, the C.I.A. director; James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence; and Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency and the commander of United States Cyber Command.
The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, was also there
According to nearly a dozen people who either attended the meeting with the president-elect or were later briefed on it, the four primary intelligence officials described the streams of intelligence that convinced them of Mr. Putin’s role in the election interference.
They included stolen emails from the Democratic National Committee that had been seen in Russian military intelligence networks by the British, Dutch and American intelligence services. Officers of the Russian intelligence agency formerly known as the G.R.U. had plotted with groups like WikiLeaks on how to release the email stash.
And ultimately, several human sources had confirmed Mr. Putin’s own role.
