It's worth remembering that for the last four years, any curiosity about what happened in Benghazi has been ridiculed as paranoid and delusional. By members of Schumer's own party. They reap what they sow.
Congressional Democrats have rung the conspiracy klaxxon so often, nobody is listening anymore.
"Russia hacked the election to help Trump" is now congealing into conventional wisdom, even though there is ***still no evidence for this***
— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) December 10, 2016
I retweeted Michael Tracey here just for his usage of the word "congeal" in this context. Tracey is correct. What we know to be true is that Wikileaks hacked emails. Perhaps Wikileaks published this on behalf of the Russians, perhaps not. They deny it. But let's say it's true.
That doesn't mean Russia "hacked the election." That would require interference in tabulation. How we got from point A to point B is media speculation being broadcast as fact.
The same media that said Trump couldn't win should not be trusted on anything.
Americans have moved on, and have turned their attention to their families. There is a hard-core element that will never admit defeat, and they are all in academia, so they won't be rocking the boat too hard.
The only portion of the electorate with any energy is the millennials, and they get all their news from Samantha Bee, John Oliver, or Trevor Noah. It's all sugary infotainment; anger leavened with so much snark that it all becomes a big joke. Plus they're all stoned anyway.
