Yep, and Trump didn’t help at all by continually refusing to criticize Putin, and insisting on saying nice things about him.
The bottom line for me: I don’t think anyone involved in this opera has covered himself in glory.

Plus Russian tampering went far beyond just hacking the DNC server, they tampered with the election through fake social media groups, implanting fake news and attempting to hacking voting machines.
I am becoming disgusted with all sides of the press these days. They intentionally leave out facts and express outrage over these half-truths. It happens on both sides to the point where I just don't trust anything on its face.

I am similarly disgusted. It’s hard to get any information these days that’s not laughably slanted one way the other. As far as the “informant,“ or “spy,“ or whatever we want to call that person, I don’t really care if his informant activities/spying affected the outcome of the race. What bothers me is that the FBI assigned an informant to the political campaign of a presidential candidate. I’ll be interested to see what the FBI inspector general report says about all this.
