You can't PROVE that it did or didn't effect the election... there is absolutely no way to prove otherwise.
Well, you admit that there is no prove that the Russian Bear effected the election, but Russian diplomats were expelled because some people with compromised brains said that the Russian Bear compromised the election, and that USA has to declare war on Russia.
BTW, what about Israel and the Israel Lobby in the USA?
Is there any prove that Israel did not compromise the American elections?
I can see a lot of prove for that, because Israeli citizens own a huge part of American MSM and are in many leading positions in the USA.
IS AIPAC not an entity that was created to interfere in American affairs?

Pollard grew up with what he called a "racial obligation" to Israel..

As we see, an American intelligence analyst was in reality an Israeli spy.
How many Americans have "racial obligations" to a foreign country?
Simple question I asked someone in another thread... are you saying that the DNC emails weren't important or damning?
The DNC emails were damaging, because the Democrats were corrupt.
The Democrats tried to fool the American voters, but their corruption was exposed.
Did the Russian Bear corrupt the democrats?
BTW, there is no prove that the Wiki-Leaks have something to do with the hacking attempts of hackers who were located in Russia. Assange confirmed that, and there is no evidence that can prove the contrary.
