Read the whole article and none of the evidence provided proves that Russia swung the election. Could this not simply be organic & domestic? Just last week in the NY Primaries I heard of people being purposely told wrong election close times...this stuff happens all the time domestically.
>“What we cannot do, however, is calculate the impact that foreign meddling and social media had on this election.”
>But did the meddling alter the outcome? “How will we ever know?” he said. “We probably won’t, until some Russians involved in it are actually prosecuted—or some Republican, in a moment of conscience, talks.”
Then you don't have enough evidence to be making such large claims. I don't like Trump either, but as Chomsky also points out, this is a distraction from real substantive issues and it's putting undue faith in the alphabet soup agencies.
It really seems this is a media & publishing grab for money as people get sucked into a conspiracy theory.
