Bush says theres clear evidence..

[ENG601PM 10]

I can't see anything wrong with what Bush said at all.

 

"pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled"

 

And

 

"Whether (Russia) affected the outcome is another question," Bush said. "It’s problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results."

 

Seems perfectly reasonable. What's not reasonable is getting too carried away by cherry picking and reading something into it that's not there.

.....Russia DID meddle in the 2016 election.

I don't understand. I was in The Bush the other day. No-one mentioned the election or Russia?

[Anna B 1,414]

Did Russian agents coerce American voters to vote one way or the other in the election?? no.

 

This Russian "meddling" in the main, amounts to RT giving a different perspective on events to CNN and Fox.

 

Thought I'd highlight this as it sums it up perfectly.

[phil752 10]

but if it was "proved" to be true?

id have you down for one hating the fact foriegners were meddling in our affairs

 

But is it proved to be true, or are wanting it to be? Do you think Bush has any credibility, well I guess he did con a conner like Blaire and screwed the Middle East up? How much blood have they on their collective hands?

13 Russians may have been charged but as in many cases those charges may also be eventually dismissed, hence the wait and see bit. This is about proving there was tampering in the US election and not just speculation or suspicion on whether what they did in fact amounted to tampering.

Mmmm. The FBI had factual evidence that Nikolas Cruz may carry out an attack on a Florida School and failed to act on it.
