Whether or not Russia had any significant influence in determining our election still seems fuzzy at best to me, though there are things about that story that give me pause and I can't discount it entirely.

At the end of the day, one thing we can count on is politicians to reach out and use any malicious and dirty tactics they can to gain the upper hand... This part, at least, should be of no surprise to any of us who are paying attention.

And even if Russia did meddle in our election or attempt to influence it some how, it's not like the U.S. government can honestly criticize them without being ridiculously hypocritical. Manipulating elections to enact one's own personal regime and agenda is something the U.S. has mastered.
