How the Russians have weaponized information

BY ROB CHRISTENSEN

No matter what your politics, no matter how President Donald Trump fares, the most unnerving development in the Russia-Trump investigations is how easily a hostile foreign power has interfered with American politics and even U.S. life. The multiple investigations have made one thing clear: The Kremlin sought to influence American society in ways we have not seen since the height of the Cold War. The Russians, we are learning, tried to help Republican Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton last year. They may have hacked into 21 state election systems during last year’s presidential election, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
