The Republicans knew about the Russian interference in our election and allowed it. McConnell threatened the White House with a smear campaign if they disclosed the information to the American people.
McConnell Covered Up CIA Reports That Russian Hacks Were Aimed At Electing Trump | Crooks and Liars
Progressive news and media coverage on Crooks and Liars
According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, the CIA concluded that Russia actively interfered in the election not just to destabilize our political system, but to actively elect Donald Trump.
This conclusion was not something they just pulled out of thin air. Intelligence agencies had arrived at their conclusion in September, and briefed a bipartisan group in the Senate and House about it then, along with President Obama. The President wanted to go forward with a full disclosure of the report, but Mitch McConnell quashed it, threatening to taint any disclosure with the claim that it was being made merely for political gain.
McConnell was willing to let the Russians meddle in the election because his guy was getting the benefit of their work. This is outrageous.
