    Do the people RTing this story know there was a hearing on Russia today where the hack came up repeatedly? I guess not.https://twitter.com/spaydl/status/829720218582806533 …

        Most relevant point in MJ article is that no one in media has asked why Trump didn’t discuss this in “1st ever” convo with Putin

        And yet I'm far more interested in why Trump said START was bad in same convo (which revealed we don't know all abt it, either).

        That people RTing the story may not have enough understanding of the story to get that may well be related does not mean it is not.

        2/ Yet strange that media not quizzing Trump on why he said nothing to Putin about Russian efforts to sway US election

        They're not even quizzing Trump abt Ukraine sanctions or START, which actually matter going forward.

        If you’re implying that possible foreign attempts to change 2016 election outcome “don’t matter going forward” I can’t agree

        I live blogged it. Also related, Hal Martin indictment. There are actually lots of developments I guess Corn is ignorant about.

        One thing Corker said is they do intend to review it (as stated), talked abt efforts to coordinate multiple reviews.

        I see Russia, Trump, Putin, hacks, more or less constantly, as has been the case for months. MJ's claim is bizarre.

        @spaydl @MotherJones as per William Binney it was a leak not a hack. If you google him he gives a great explanation.

        I thought the point was that media isn't reporting as much, regardless of whether there are new developments?
