"Obamas brave struggle" ? lol

Get a clue people.
Obamas struggle was whether or not to go public with this.  That's because the idea that the election of Hillary, a sure thing landslide winner, may be perceived as tainted.

Gee, you wonder why Trump on occasion would whine about the possibility of the election being internally rigged knowing the Russians got his back with that secret deal he made with them lol.

Try and give an honest opinion to this hypothetical without spin or beating around the bush Dill...

Based on the bolded sentence above...
Had Hillary won, would there be this unrelenting attempt by the leftist media and democrats to take Hillary down on charges that she colluded with the Russians?

I say hell no. Even if they were to limit it to just investigating Russian meddling, it would be a lukewarm investigation because Hillary won so all is good.

The fact is Trump won and you folks ain't liking it one bit.

An honest opinion without beating around the Bush?

No, "leftist media" and Democrats would not be trying to take Hillary down on charges she colluded with the Russians--unless there were evidence she colluded with the Russians to lose.  According to the intel we have now, The Russians were working for a Trump win. And it was Trump's people, not Hillary's who forgot or hid all their meetings with Russian operatives. So what would be the evidential foundation for "taking down" Hillary? Why would "leftists" want to investigate Hillary for Trump campaign connections to Moscow?

If Hillary had won, we would have an executive set to further punish the Russians for interfering in the election. Now we have one who denies Russian responsibility, and appears set on protecting Russian interests.

Regarding the "good to know information" which I omitted because it was old news, the article suggests that Obama's interventions, among them a direct warning call to Putin, limited or stopped the hacking of state elections.

Trump has been working to undo Obama sanctions and proposed recalling the Russian operatives Obama expelled. Perhaps the idea came to him as he was giving away state secrets to the Russian Ambassador, whom he invited into the Oval Office without a heads up to the US press--along with an undercover TASS journalist.

And you, obviously, are liking all this very much.
