McConnell Obama Steele Hacking Hiding . . . . . and the BIG question that goes unasked in the media
Before the election, Obama wanted to release the facts about Russia hacking and interference. He put the idea to Congressional leadership. McConnell pushed back. It took three weeks before the news was released, and at that, a very watered down version.
The rap on Obama (which I actually kind of favor) is that he didn't act decisively enough. The media says the same thing and asks why. I think we all know why.
But the BIG question that never seems to get asked is why McConnell did what he did in downplaying the facts.
Why, Mitch? Why?
