Yes, it is impossible to tell exactly how much impact Russian interference had on the election (and there's no evidence that the Russians tampered with votes) . . . but they sure gave it the old college (or maybe I should say the old KGB) try!

So, you ask why haven't top national intel and security officials backed away from something that's impossible to tell? Plus no evidence of vote tampering, isn't this just silliness?

Please, if you would, explain why this comment of yours has any importance in the context of this discussion and the feelings of about a third of the nation. Are you excusing the political weaponization of sound bite fragments by dem 'leaders' for the purpose of blocking and demonizing the regulatory and legislative process of the US?

Just for clarity, what are you claiming the average length of service of executive branch staffers and cabinet members is? When dubya was headed out the door, he gave barak a gift wrapped tarp windfall. When barry was done, he handed off comey, brenen and claper. Your current President needed friends around him, and he's clearly made transitional steps to those who can help him govern.
