edit: this thread doesn't need to go on, so I will say my final word in this edit. In the context of the topic at hand (Russian hacking, criminal conspiracy/obstruction) I think it's without precedent in US history, reaction to it transcends party lines (evidenced by numerous and bipartisan condemnations) and it's not helpful to pull it into the "both sides do it" narrative because it's almost 100% along a party line in terms of who is involved in it.
