Serious question from someone who is not American: how did US Intelligence draw the conclusion that Russia was pissed off about doping and as such decided the best course of action was to hack one-half of the US political system?
The title of the thread isn't correct in the least.
Also, both halves of the American political system had been compromised in 2016.
This story is half shifting the blame off of the Democrats for completely failing this general election cycle. The other half is a dig at Trump who appears to view himself as the sole source of his election success.
Also, lots of American institutional history of mistrusting Russians. Sure, maybe Putin did order it. Maybe it was yet another robot phishing scheme that accidentally struck gold. The most interesting aspect of all of this was that none of the RNC emails have seen the light of day.
