Why was there an investigation into OJ? Because two people were found dead on his property.
Why are they TRYING to get an investigation into Russia interfering in the election? Because HRC lost an election that had been planned for 20 years, by betting heavily on identity politics as the core strategy (literally nothing else was even on the table). The establishment political-media was absolutely DEVASTATED by the outcome.
Serious questions- Total hypothetical situation- If China hacks a given US president's emails in year 2 of a presidency, which exposes scandalous/illegal activity, which is never disputed by president, as he basically acknowledges that it was true, and it becomes what he is known for, and he loses the next election...
Would the media consider it "meddling in US elections"? Does it have to be an election year to constitute meddling in elections? At what point is the blame actually on the candidate/party for simply being slithering pieces of garbage?
Should the voters care how the information came about? Is the truth less valuable because of the source?
yes, literally NOTHING else was on the table.
HRC campaigned on NOTHING but ID politics. I mean I agree that the Dems way overplay the ID politics but you are undermining your argument if you ignore her wonkiness.
"But, but, but.....RUSSIA!!!"
