Since most of us who voted cast their POTUS ballot for someone other than the Red Don, maybe you should read enough of my link to understand what's being argued here?
How Russia Helped Swing the Election for Trump
"Jamieson said that, as an academic, she hoped that the public would challenge her arguments.
"Yet she expressed confidence that unbiased readers would accept her conclusion that it is not just plausible that Russia changed the outcome of the 2016 election—it is 'likely that it did.'
"An airtight case, she acknowledges, may never be possible.
"In the introduction to her new book, she writes that any case for influence will likely be similar to that in a civil legal trial, 'in which the verdict is rendered not with the certainty that e=mc2 but rather based on the preponderance of evidence.'
"But, she points out, 'we do make most of life’s decisions based on less-than-rock-solid, incontrovertible evidence.'
"In Philadelphia, she noted to me that 'we convict people on probabilities rather than absolute certainty, and we’ve executed people based on inferences from available evidence.'
"She argued that 'the standard of proof being demanded' by people claiming it’s impossible to know whether Russia delivered the White House to Trump is 'substantially higher than the standard of proof we ordinarily use in our lives.'"
