Assuming for the sale of argument there was Russian interference (to accept that premise, you have to have faith that the government is telling the truth), the only reasons for the government to NOT go public, and to NOT apprise election managers (all being state-run operations), yes - either the outcome of the interference was desired by the government, or the interference was inconsequential - not worth raising a fuss over. Seeing the degree of fuss now, the only conclusion is that the government WELCOMED the interference, because it would swing the election in the preferred direction.
After the fact/election lip service to the sacred integrity of the election process is baloney, because if the election process was sacred, the government would have piped up and alerted the people about specifics.
It makes you wonder if the DNC had assurances from the Russians that they’d interfere and help Hillary out. Then, when the election turned out the other way - it became Russia’s fault.
