Can't believe I'm coming to an incredibly qualified defense of Obama here, but I think this is a nothingburger. Gabbard appears to be conflating intelligence community findings that Russia didn't attempt to directly manipulate the vote count with the squishier narrative that the dems adopted in the post-election ass covering scramble so top-level party members could be spared the wrath of the donors. The fact that the Trump campaign was talking to Russian officials is still a matter of public record, there's just disagreement over what level of impact that had on the election - Mueller concluded that there was little, while the Dems continued to insist that it did because their face-saving campaign relied on it.

Not sure why we've suddenly decided to start posting Republican party propaganda just because the Democrats also suck.
