I half expected The Trumpnado to bellow "fake news!" anyway :-)
Why would there be the need for contrition? The report makes it clear that the Russians did interfere in the election and while there was some superficial evidence to indicate that there may be ties to Trump, when it was investigated in more detail there was no evidence that a crime had been committed.
If governments weren't capable of this sort of investigation I'd be more concerned. :shrug:
Oi! Eastie! Watch my lips.
"THERE IS NO EVIDENCE!"
The DNC wasn't hacked, it was leaked. The file transfer times were too fast for an internet connection from eastern europe, and no-one was allowed to look at the server except Crowdstrike who have a Ukrainian nationalist agenda. The real election theft was Killary stealing the primaries from Sanders, who all polls say would have beaten Trump. The facebook ads of puppies from a clickbait farm in Leningrad had nothing to do with your election.
Now, I have an idea for a brilliant and original sci-fi / horror film. Who should I speak to?
Oh quite, and the fact that the beneficiary of their meddling is so reviled (possibly because he comes across as so utterly immoral) by the opposition that they couldn't let it lie, they couldn't pass up the chance that there might have actually been something there.
Sadly for them, the Donald is both immoral and street wise - this is precisely the sort of thing he can get away with.
This is rather good too, as it was Mueller who took down the original version, way back when.
