RUSSIA: Get to the truth

With all of the “Alternative Facts” being presented, one does not really know which facts to believe. We do know that Russia did hack into some of the emails of the DNC, but apparently not the RNC. Interesting! We also know that Russia did leak some of some of that information in such a way that it did influence the presidential election. We do know that Vladimir wanted Donald Trump as president rather than the little old grandmother, Hillary. Why would Vladimir fear a little old grandma, anyway? But on the other hand, do we really know all of this for sure? Therefore, don’t most people feel an independent commission and independent prosecutor would help settle this never-ending imbroglio? It would be to the nation’s benefit to know the real truth.

What would it take for Congress to support the independent commission and independent prosecutor to explore how much influence a foreign power, Russia, had on our national security and our national solvency and sovereignty and our national pride?

This is cyberwarfare, and it has created a national dilemma of frightening proportions for the safe future of this great nation.
