Oh, didn't even notice that (as I don't follow (American) politics that closely). Seems even more unlikely that this had anything to do with the elections then.

This is wishful thinking. Sadly, Trump is consolidating his grip on power while the morons on the "other" side have their heads in the sand. Rs will win complete control of both houses at the federal level and at least 40 states this November. Then they will start churning out awful Constitutional amendments. Will that also be the Russians' fault, or will Ds finally get some accountable leadership that looks forward to victory rather than whinging about past failures?
