Why is there this insinuation that anybody is "OK with a foreign adversary, that does not have our nation's best interest in mind, trying to influence how we govern?" I've seen no indication that anybody is OK with that. What I have seen is an understanding that such activities are the norm, and therefore we should expect our leaders to take appropriate precautions with sensitive information. Hillary did not as SOS. We do not know what info may have been hacked there. Hillary's party did not. We do know at least some of what info was hacked there.

That argument that anybody is OK with that is to my mind a pretty shameful effort at deflection.
