Robert Mueller spoke before two sessions of Congress a couple of days ago. In his answers he clearly iterated that Russia interfered in the election to get Donald Trump in office and that Russia was continuing to do so even as he spoke.
So what did the various Republican representatives and news pundits claim? First reaction was that the Republicans in Congress (House and Senate) voted down any new support for election security including security against Russian intervention. Following both of those votes, the Republican media outlet flat out lied about what Mueller said with Sean Hannity (who is a high school graduate from LI) claiming that the Russian efforts were designed to get Hillary Clinton elected and thus proved that... My ellipses are because I can't follow Hannity's reasoning.
Mueller flat out said that Russia wanted Trump elected. Hannity (such a smart guy) said the Russian interference was for Hillary and the result proved the American voters were too smart for Russian interference--or something along those lines.
What is important in all of this is that as Mueller said in his testimony, the Russians are interfering in our election "as we speak".
Pay attention, please. There is no way that Vladimir Putin has the United States' good fortune as one of his goals--no way. If they wanted Trump elected it could only be to our detriment. I repeat, Vladimir Putin does not wish the United States well.
