China, are you listening . . . ?

1. Rachel was interviewing Hillary, as a follow up to Hillary's op ed piece about how to respond to the Mueller Report.  So long as there are people (like me) who think the Russian interference is a serious subject, increasingly so as we approach another presidential election, I think she will continue covering it, as opposed to covering it up.

2. The question of whether China does or does not interfere was not a topic of discussion during the interview. That is in part because no presidential candidate in 2016 called for China to interfere, and the FBI/CIA did not catch China hacking a major party's email account and publishing its emails, nor breaching the election system in various states.  People in Hillary's administration did not meet with representatives of Chinese intelligence--and then lie about it. And China did not orchestrate a massive fake news campaign on social media--e.g., creating sock puppets to actually organize protests against candidates.  Also, China did not then deny all this activity, while a president backed Li's word over his own FBI/CIA.

PS Watching Rachel right now. She is talking about the Trump-Putin meeting in Helsinki, right after the CIA published its detailed indictment of Russian intelligency.  Trump believed Putin. I'm going to watch her now.  More later . . . .
