Folks think that the news means that Russia hacked our election system and gave it to Trump. WRONG dumbos! This is all because of the email hacking, and because they feel they targeted the Dems more so than the Republicans. NOTHING suggests a single vote was changed, ONLY the exposing of the Clinton wrongdoings.

U.S. intelligence officials say Russian hacks ‘prioritized’ Democrats
The CIA assessment that Russia waged a cyber-campaign to help elect Donald Trump is based in part on intelligence suggesting that Moscow’s hacking efforts were disproportionately aimed at targets tied to the Democratic Party and its nominee, Hillary Clinton, U.S. officials said.
U.S. officials said that both parties were repeatedly targeted as part of a months-long cyber-operation linked to Moscow, but that Democratic institutions and operatives came under a more sustained and determined online assault.
U.S. officials said the Republican National Committee’s computer systems were also probed and possibly penetrated by hackers tied to Russian intelligence services, but that it remains unclear how much material — if any — was taken from the RNC.
The lack of a corresponding Republican trove has contributed to the CIA assessment, reported by The Washington Post, that Russia was seeking to elect Trump and not merely to disrupt last month’s presidential election.
