So, bammy gets a free pass for meddling, and not a word in the f*cking media, while the media never let up trying to connect Trump and Russian meddling not even for one minute.
The real point of the flashback is that THIS activity has never been a big deal before. We did it. They did it. Soros does it (he is a FAR worse offender than Russia and spends much more money doing this). Israel does it. England does it. Germany does it. China has started down this road.
What was offensive to most of us when this story broke a few years ago was that our tax dollars were being used (clandestinely by the way) to undermine a politician in Israel that many of us supported and viewed as a strong ally.
I am not a fan of any meddling in an election, but in this day and age of lobbying it happens in every election.
The real take-away for me is that they needed an excuse to rationalize her loss and cripple him. Voila! Russia, Russia, Russia! No different than what happened by them in 2015...... by the way - run the numbers. A couple of million by them in an election costing over a billion vs 350k in an election costing a sliver of a billion bucks. Hmmmmm
