It wasn't overwhelmed. It just wasn't sustained. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/04/06/the-october-non-surprise/ …

One can make a far far more compelling argument that the Intel Report blaming Russia was overwhelmed--tho largely by Access Hollywood.

Anyone actually looking at the evidence can make that case. Which probably is the one people should be making, bc evidence supports it.

I buy it. But I still think you'd do the best job. I also think my point stands -- maybe "drowned out" rather than "overwhelmed."

Neither. Access Hollywood totally dominated, but just for days. Podesta mattered bc it was sustained over time, not bc of immediate impact.

In fact, I would argue that Assange fucked up bc by competing w/Access Hollywood, speech experts didn't get any focus.

I think there are other questions worth asking: how much each campaign/WL knew about what the other (and IC) had coming.

But as someone noted earlier, it is silly to be surprised that both sides released dirt before debate.

Is not the biggest hurt here the fact that we ignored then, & continue to ignore Russian interference in our election and our country?

That's what I keep saying. That's where people should focus. But BOTH sides had other things to focus on instead.

Well since GOP seems to collude with Russians, diversion is in GOP best interest
