the Trumpian DHS be the ones to blame primarily (if one is capable of questioning the Trump regime, of course).

Having said that, some of the states have not argued that the hacking efforts targeted their election system. Others say that the targeting aimed at other systems.

The newer information hardly does what you conclude so hopefully.

Clearly, the Trumps have lied like hell repeatedly about their contacts with Russians: Trump lied about meeting with them when his ill-begotten spawn indeed did. Flynn is compromised. So is Manafort. Sessions lied repeatedly.

Why do they keep lying?

And, of course, so far as we know Mueller's investigation is only somewhere mid-point.
