I just wonder how the POTUS will continue to say this never happened because Putin told him so?
My concerns are more about the future. How do we prevent this from happening again? These companies and individuals are just one part of a massive network. We didn't heed the warnings from Europe when this happened over there (some of the same techniques were used in Ukraine). Now that it has hit home, we still don't seem to be doing anything about it. I understand the administration is remaining in denial about this for fear it delegitimizes his authority, but his ignoring the problem does more to him in that regard than if he directed our intelligence community to act on this.
I just don't know what we, the citizenry, can do. We can't magically make more judicious information consumers out of everyone in the country.
