It's always a challenge, but we tend to evaluate future threats based on past attacks. 9/11 was another example. This leaves us vulnerable.pic.twitter.com/E4fWMwCEaj

2 scenarios. 1) They knew of longstanding Russian involvement & chose not to make a stink, b/c, by golly, (just like now) they got elected!

2/ They decided they would be better off ignoring it b/c it might lose them the election. I'm glad Mueller looking at Russia. There's more.

Now we know the Republicans were in on it and benefitted "bigly" by pretending to be concerned while ignoring the problem, so no surprise!
