Article snippet: Posted at 5:30 pm on June 21, 2017 by Susan Wright Seriously, all of Donald Trump’s pre-election whining about the election being “rigged” had me convinced that he never intended to win, didn’t want to win, and was laying the groundwork for the big loss to Hillary. Even if he’d lost, he’d have his built-in audience for TrumpTV, right? His cries of a rigged election didn’t get him out of having to do a real job, but they did serve another purpose. According to Jeh Johnson, former Secretary of Homeland Security, it caused the DHS hold back information on Russian interference in the election process. From the Washington Examiner: The news of Russian interference was released in October 2016. After the election, U.S. intelligence felt comfortable with revealing Russia’s preference for Trump. Waiting certainly didn’t help. This is one of those situations where there wasn’t going to be a winner. Hillary supporters are going to blame Johnson and the DHS for not revealing that Russia was, in fact, trying to “rig” the election – for Trump. Trump supporters are going to say this is fake news, Johnson is “deep state,” and so forth. There is no sanity in politics. Link to the full article to read more
