Daniel Hoffman, the CIA’s former station chief in Moscow and one of America’s premier experts on Russia spy tradecraft, said he believed all along the Obama administration’s assessment was wrong and the newly declassified evidence confirms his suspicions.Three states where Trump won by very close margins—margins significantly less than the number of votes cast for third party candidates in those states—gave him an electoral college majority. Mayer writes that if only 12% of these third-party voters "were persuaded by Russian propaganda—based on hacked Clinton-campaign analytics—not to vote for Clinton", this would have been enough to win the election for Trump.[71] Political scientist Kathleen Hall Jamieson, in a detailed forensic analysis concludes that Russian trolls and hackers persuaded enough Americans "to either vote a certain way or not vote at all", thus impacting election results.[71][313] Specifically, Jamieson argues that two events that caused a drop in intention to vote for Clinton reported to pollsters can be traced to Russian work: the publicizing of excerpts of speeches by Clinton made to investment banks for high fees stolen from campaign emails during the presidential debates, and the effect of Russian disinformation on FBI head Comey's public denunciation of Clinton's actions as "extremely careless" (see above).[71]So you don't have an answer either. Russia did not flip any votes, the fact that Dems ran a shitty candidate is why Trump won. Bernout's voters will probably just sit this one out. So what will you do if Trump beats Bidet? Then what?many things had to occur so that the buffoon in chief would squeeze a razor thin electoral college edge (70k combined in three states PA, WI, and MI) while losing the real vote by 3 million; russian interference, african american apathy, wiki leaks, comey, etc, but the biggest one was that over 2 million bernie bros voted for the pussygrabber in order to punish Hillary, I know a lot that did, but pussygrabber ain't getting a single bernie bro vote this year, I bet any money uncle joe beats pussygrabber by at least 8 million votes...How many votes did the Russians switch?Didn't happen. Russians put dOnald there instead.
“The question of whether Russia favored Clinton or Trump is superfluous,” he said. “There is no evidence Russia ever had the throw weight to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, the 2017 DNI report confirmed that.
