> Russia interfering in the election was already being investigated & reported on BEFORE election day. Television, newspaper, etc. It was reported that there was suspicion of Russian interference, from multiple outlets, well before election day. "The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation of Russian interference in July 2016, including a special focus on links between Trump associates and Russian officials and suspected coordination between the Trump campaign and the Russian government." Obviously it was all rather silly, AS YOU RIGHTLY POINT OUT. That being said... > It was an excuse for a embarrassing loss. It was not an "excuse" the (D) dreamt up for the loss. That's the issue that makes no sense.
