Obama admin didn't talk about Russian interference, because it would have tainted a Hillary win.

“It is the hardest thing about my entire time in government to defend,” said a former senior Obama administration official involved in White House deliberations on Russia. “I feel like we sort of choked.”

“The punishment did not fit the crime,” said Michael McFaul, who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia for the Obama administration from 2012 to 2014. “Russia violated our sovereignty, meddling in one of our most sacred acts as a democracy — electing our president. The Kremlin should have paid a much higher price for that attack. And U.S. policymakers now — both in the White House and Congress — should consider new actions to deter future Russian interventions.”

They also worried that any action they took would be perceived as political interference in an already volatile campaign. By August, Trump was predicting that the election would be rigged. Obama officials feared providing fuel to such claims, playing into Russia’s efforts to discredit the outcome and potentially contaminating the expected Clinton triumph.

So now the narrative is that Russia DID interfere with the election but in favor of Hilary?

Seems to me it says it was kept quiet as to not call into question "Hillary's win".

But you do you and take what you like from it.

I wonder how our war in Syria would be going now if Hillary won.

Nothing that Russia did effected the outcome of the Election.....  Hillary was just that bad is the reason she lost
