Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said Sunday that Russian hacking altered the outcome of the presidential election.

“That's what I believe. I've had all of the major classified briefings. I have been astonished at what has been a two-year effort at Russia to spear phish, to hack, to provide disinformation and propaganda wherever it really could,” said Feinstein, who until recently was the highest ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

“It's pretty clear that the hacking was of both political parties but with the aim of hurting Hillary Clinton and then, if Hillary Clinton were to win, the aim clearly was to weaken her,” said Feinstein on NBC's “Meet the Press.”

Host Chuck Todd repeatedly asked Feinstein whether she believed that the Russian effort altered the outcome of the presidential election and Feinstein said she does.

She said that Clinton was also hurt by FBI Director James Comey's announcement 11 days before the election that the bureau found new emails pertinent to an investigation of Clinton that had been considered over for months. It subsequently turned out that the emails were irrelevant to the FBI's conclusions in the investigation....

Again, none of these spurious Russian involvement stories would be in the LMSM news had Mr. Trump lost the election.

I was limiting it to point out that the people squawking now likely benefited from shenangins in the past. They are projecting their behavior on Trump.
