I am still amazed how many people believed the Russian election manipulation story without any evidence. Especially large portions of the press should stand ashamed in a really, really dark corner.

In hindsight I believe the people selling penis enlargement were correct about the reasoning abilities of humanity...

I am still amazed how many people go around saying that there isn't "any evidence" that Russia actively interfered in the 2016 US election.

We both have access to Wikipedia, right? Or is all that Fake News too?

Sadly yes, Wikipedia is not good source on information like this anymore. It always was criticized that info on there wasn't sufficient evidence and that you had to get secondary sources. I think Wikipedia is a good source on most issues, but this topic is certainly not part of that.

The wiki on this topic cites 551 sources. I guess they're all fake too?

Didn't the Senate, House Committees, nearly every US intelligence agency, and independent researchers all say Russia actively interfered and wanted Trump to win?

Where are you still finding the one source espousing this nonsense?

There is actually evidence that Putin wanted Hillary because she is a "softer" partner, and in contrast to the conspiracy this is evidenced in written words. That is actually an argument to vote for her, but don't let that stop you.

edit: In case you actually do try to research it, that info was kept hidden by Brennan to the objection of CIA analysts.
