    He doesn't have all the information the Mueller team has


    lets remember how much of Muellers report was redacted

    Oh and BTW this guy has been wrong on his predictions since 2016


    I guess he didn't know the Russians were affecting the elections by then

    Rosenstein, however, made the point very clear: the indictment included no allegation that the hacking altered any votes of affected the election result.

    “There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime,” Rosenstein said Friday. “There is no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result. The special counsel investigation is ongoing and there will be no comments on a special counsel at this time.”

    Rosenstein did NOT disagree.

    It's absurd to admit Russia hacked into our systems while saying they didn't change anything while they were inside.

    Why would Russia hack the elections and not mess around with the totals?

    Makes no fucking sense.

    Mueller only documented the interference. He never tried to determine if actual votes were influenced. That has only been addressed by predictable partisan arguments.

    Nobody ever admits their vote was influenced but are always ready to believe the votes of others were changed by money, campaign ads, Russians......

    No, and they haven't looked into interference by Monaco, Haiti, or Iceland, either.

    How did they fail? They were able to hack into the voting systems.

    It makes no sense that Russia would go to the trouble of hacking into our systems and then not change anything once inside.

    no evidence that Russian attempts to target voters in key swing states had any effect on the election results in those states. Instead, the results were almost totally predictable based on the political and demographic characteristics of those states, especially their past voting tendencies, ideological leanings, and demographics.
