Regardless of impact on the outcome, is there evidence that Russia attempted to interfere with the election (or is it fake news)?

You are right on the money!

It wasn't just emails. The Russians were in the DNC network for over a year - which screams pathetic security. Hell, Mattis even said there is little doubt the Russians interfered. Quit focusing on Hillary, focus on the act and who carried it out. Now focus on the impact another government could have over the US. That is what we cannot stand for.

SFC Chad Sowash The hackers were in the DNC servers for a long time, and their security was pathetic, but all they accessed were emails, and they released some of them. It is not like the changed votes, or vote counts. The only credible source on who hacked the DNC comes from Wikileaks, and they say it was a DNC insider. What hack revealed was a massive violation of the espionage act by Hillary, her lying to congress and the American people about her violations of the espionage act, and a lot of shady and illegal actions by the Clinton Foundation. In summary, the hack brought the truth to the American people and it cost HRC the election in all likelihood.

SPC Randy Semanko - I know it'sounds the new cool thing and all but calling something fake news doesn't make it go away ESPECIALLY when there's a video with Mad Dog saying it. "Little doubt" not much different from "No doubt". If you'd like more translation just let me know - English is tough. lol

Sgt Steven Thomas - Agree. But, some seem to think it is all the Russians fault.

The example I used is that I rob a bank. Later someone tells the cops I did it. It is not the fault of the person who reported me. It is my fault.
