Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday said he strongly condemned any Russian efforts to influence the US presidential election, adding that he backed a congressional investigation into Russias involvement in the hacking of emails from US political organizations.
Obviously, any foreign breach of our cybersecurity measures is disturbing and I strongly condemn any such efforts, he said at a press conference. [

The Russians are not our friends, he added, saying President Barack Obamas administration attempted to reset Russian relations and sat back as the country expanded its sphere of influence.

McConman apparently believes in conspiracy theories.
Wanna bet in six months they will come up empty-handed finding proof Russia interfered with the election?
I’m embarrassed for my country.

Russia is its own friend, as best as it sees it.
This might or might not coincide with US interests.
That said, I am skeptical of any actual tampering with the vote. I might believe snooping on the characteristics of the vote in such a way as to make it possible to unleash skeptical questions about recounts.

Why does MConnell believe whatever the Obama administration says? Didn't he learn that they often report "fake news" as if it comes from the CIA or FBI, like the story of a movie causing the "protests" that got out of hand in Benghazi?
Is he really that stupid or is he trying to promote the Democrat's latest attempt to undercut Trump?
To: Olog-hai
The Russians are not our friends
I agree, Mitch. Does collecting millions from foreign governments or selling uranium to Russians qualify as the Russians influencing policy in the United States?
To: Olog-hai
The Government is not our friend either!!!

Calling for an investigation is how you take an issue off the front burner, usually never to be heard from again. McConnel is saying the right thing here.

I have never been quite sure what xenophobic meant. I just looked it up in my very old dictionary an it was one of only 6 words on the “X” page......, I did know what it meant!

All very well - but it isnt your call, Senator. The issue could reach the House - but only if state legislatures change the way their states Electors are appointed after the Nov 8 election.
