Let’s look at the narrative that Russia tried to interfere in our elections.

On the surface this is true but what exactly did they do?

They are accused of using social media to run some ads/propaganda

And

They “hacked” emails from DNC and Podesta

And tried it with RNC.
******
Hence, Mueller’s indictments on the Russian “troll farm”.

Fine, let’s say all that is true ( I know Seth Rich, passw@rd, WikiLeaks defense etc) but just for shits and giggles let’s say it’s all true.

So what?
******
The “ads/propaganda” was a small amount less than 100k, compared to the billions spent on the election this was a grain of sand on a beach. It was less that nothing.

But ...but....but...the emails.

Not one person has claimed any of the emails from the DNC nor Podesta were fake
******
So basically, the left’s argument is that Russia interfered in our elections by releasing the truth. They told the American people the truth of what the DNC, podesta and the Hillary campaign thought of the voters and planned to do once elected.
******
That is the real interference that the left is upset about. God forbid, if the voters learned the truth on how the “elites” in the Democrat party act and think. Hell if we knew the truth they might not get elected.
******
I know free speech is a dirty phrase for the left, but I really don’t see releasing truthful emails as interference. I see it as free speech and information the voters needed to make intelligent decisions when casting their vote.
******
I also don’t have a problem with ads and or propaganda as long as all sides have access to push theirs, the people will make good decisions. It’s called free speech.

The big problem I have with foreign interference is when they give money to campaigns. That sets up quid pro quos
******
So, I have a problem with the money Russia have Bill Clinton for his speeches. I have problems with the uranium one deal. I have a problem with foreign countries giving to the Clinton foundation. I have a problem with foreign countries lobbying Congress and the WH.
******
Funny, none of that has been investigated.
*****************
NIKK..My 2 cents.....Our President was spied upon and some have gone to prison from some fake information or perhaps ALL was tied into knots to put our guys in jail....where are any of the Left’s? Walking around like you and me. When should our whining stop? I’m tied of whining myself. Anyone in prison...crickets.

The ads didnt even run into much money. And they were both pro and anti Trump.
