can't say I heard them present any concrete evidence

of course, I didn't watch the whole thing

but I did watch long enough to hear them reference the false power grid hacking story...smh

Clapper offered his report will be released in a few days

i.e. it's been months now

and if you read the timeline, something they've known about since 15'

= if they had actionable evidence we'd have it by now.

I'm not giving up on helping all see the light on this topic, it's BS.

I did watch long enough to catch this exchange...

"Perhaps the closest to a defense of Mr. Trump so far came from Senator Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas. Noting “imprecise language” stating that Russia “hacked the election,” Mr. Cotton referred to Mr. Clapper’s Oct. 7 statement on the matter and pressed him to be more specific about the agencies’ findings.

Mr. Cotton also suggested that the conventional wisdom that Mr. Putin favored Mr. Trump over Hillary Clinton might be wrong. Mr. Trump promised a stronger military and more American oil and gas production — policies Mr. Cotton suggested would not be to Russia’s advantage."

Cotton made some interesting points

one being, that Trump's campaign platform will result in tougher US policies toward Russia

i.e. strengthening military, fossil fuels, etc...

the argument could be made that Russia would have been better off with HRC as POTUS

...interesting...
