Over the last several weeks the media has been consumed with the Russian hacking story, suggesting that the nation that has been our adversary for the last century somehow sabotaged our free elections and contributed to the defeat of Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump. Of course, the Clinton camp and its supporters have been pushing this story since Hillary’s defeat in November.
Everyone
should be concerned about allegations of our elections being corrupted
in some manner, whether that corruption comes from a nation state or
from some other sinister effort. But it is the height of hypocrisy
when certain groups become incensed when their candidate loses but they
dismiss electoral malfeasance when their side wins. By certain groups, I
am referring specifically to liberals, Democrats, and their willing
supporters/accomplices, the main stream media.
First
let’s address what the specifics of the Russian “hacking” episode
actually was. There has been a steady drumbeat of reports from media
sympathetic to Hillary Clinton, inferring that the Russian hacking
interfered in and impacted the results of our election. To be clear,
there is no evidence that any potential hacking changed the outcome
whatsoever. Furthermore, the hacking was not in any way related to
voting machines or anything that occurred on election day.
