The lost point of this whole thing. Where's the report on Russian Interference?

While I'm truly enjoying all the embarrassing dirt on TrumpCo...

Where is the discussion of the malicious attack on Democracy?

Some questions

1) what is the history of Russian election interference?

2) precisely what methods and activities took place?

And I don't just mean "bots did it". A bot, traditionally is a piece of software that serves a very narrow purpose on the web, like clicking an option on online polling or crawling the comments sections looking to drop an advertisement for a product.

In this case, which malicious software was used and how was it distributed?

And humans... What did Russian workers do on the farm? Warehouses full of people clicking and cut/pasting content but where did the content come from?

3) was any actual "vote hacking" done? Human miscounts, malicious software on DRE systems, etc?

4) and what can be done about it in the future.

What can be done if someone in Russia retweets a meme under his Twitter name *TrumpGodKingQsaids0?

Sadly I think the bottom line is the Senate or AG (Justice Department - FBI, CIA) will do nothing as long as it is helping them. They will totally freak out when the Dems take control. Between Putin and Jesus we are in deep poo-poo.

But it's incomplete and without great detail.

Do we need to form a commission to deal with this threat?

Like I said, how do you stop someone in Russia retweeting some stupid meme on a social networking platform?

Can you imagine the Senate working with the House to pass meaningful laws to protect our elections?

Democrats will ask for sanctions against the guilty nation and the Repubs will ask for voter ID and a reduction in polling places.

and make it too hard to cheat because the margin is too big. Then, from a position of power, we start repairing our democracy.
