Kevin Poulsen, and Spencer Ackerman, Daily Beast: Researchers: No Evidence That Russia Is Messing With Campaign 2018—Yet

if Putin(esca) got what he wanted in the presidential elections, why bother with midterms?
Anon,
I don't think Putin wanted HRC who would be rather pushy in order to get the headlines and he sure didn't get what he thought he would get with Trump, assuming he thought the situation would be hunky dory with Trump.
I've personally seen nothing of Russian interference unless hacking of HRC e-mails was their doing. If so where do I send my thank you check?
When people refer to Russian interference, to what are they referring?
To what are they referring? A weak candidate with a poor message lost to a,superior candidate with a much better message. The losing candidate, her team, and her supporters in the media needed an excuse so the Russian interference narrative was born. Now they may actually believe their own lies.
