But truth be told, I'm more concerned about the strategic impact of the hacking and what lies beyond, than the actual political fallout.

Don't get me wrong, I'm concerned AF about what will happen under a Trump Admin, but the implications of no response to this attack and the long term game the Russians (and others) are playing is truly alarming. Especially under this clown Trump.
