We weren't. The decision was made not to press it bc no one thought it was even remotely possible that Trump would win. They only started making a hoot once the polls started to tighten.https://www.npr.org/2018/02/21/587614043/fact-check-why-didnt-obama-stop-russia-s-election-interference-in-2016 …
If Gina Haspel has such great knowledge of Russia and she was a top CIA official in 2016, why were we caught so flat-footed? https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/gina-haspel-is-tainted-by-her-torture-involvement-but-she-understands-russia/2018/05/07/10e50ea8-4fd8-11e8-84a0-458a1aa9ac0a_story.html …?
