(9,670 posts)McConnell was working toward to keep the intelligence already gathered by the IC to be masked. From what I understand, Turtle tried to keep the CIA from releasing the information by threatening to blame the Obama White House of playing a game of partisan politics.
That's why this information wasn't released prior to the Election. The right wing propaganda machine would have polluted the truth with its own set of lies and misdirections, and the poor electorate wouldn't know which way was up.
This way sucks worse for us because, even if Trump is brought to justice, the election stands and the Democrats lost. It sucks because we didn't really lose. We won, but their cheating sans a constitutional provision in place to address it means the cheater wins even if he loses.
