(37,648 posts)We looked at all that before. It's possible that it WAS kicked up (Obama knew), for one thing, although they didn't know the extent of it. I don't think the FBI knew the extent of it, either. Remember that Obama left it up to McConnell to warn the public or do something, and McConnell decided to do nothing. Apparently Obama was concerned that if he tried to do something, it would be viewed as election interference.
Remember that a number of states were warned before the election that there was evidence that a foreign power was seeking to hack their election systems, and the fed govt offered its assistance. NONE of them took the fed up on that. The fed was part of a Democratic administration, and most of the states were red, I think. So they were suspicious of the government.
