Did you read that statement?  It's in one of the links you provided.  Not Fox News, of course.  And it's not "old news."  The date on that statement is March 13, 2018.  Yesterday.  Not "old news." 

Fox News does not want to show any evidence that Trump might have won because of Russian interference.   It doesn't fit their agenda, which is, to defend Trump and attack liberals.

Can you name one person who changed their vote to Trump based on what was posted on Facebook, or because of the release of DCN E-mails (even assuming that Russian hackers did that, which is a stretch)? And the Russian posts on Facebook were so swamped by US politicizing it's like pissing into the ocean.

How can anyone believe that it made a difference? Do you think enough people are both so non-partisan that they might not have already had their minds made up, and were that easy to manipulate?

Finally, what reason would Russia have to prefer any Republican over Hillary? Putin pretty much had enough blackmail evidence on Hillary to get anything he wanted if she were elected.

BTW, Rush Limbaugh did mention Gowdy's comments in his show today, so it's not as if the Right-wing punditry in general was trying to hide it.

This is what I've been wondering. I never even saw anything on Facebook that gave me reason to believe the Russians were trying to get anyone to change their vote other than the nauseating political posts by folks. I wouldn't have anyway because I don't let social media dictate how I decide to vote. Or a foreign government for that matter. Anyone who does obviously is not a critical thinker.
