It took seven years for this information to come out?

The entirety of the political establishment, GOP and Dems, were working to suppress this info. Their interests are in continuing to hold onto power and that means keeping outsiders like Trump out. Just look at who crawled out of the woodwork. That weasel, Paul Ryan. He's looking to come back as a senior statesman.

Actually it was available not long afterwards.

Facebook VP: "The Majority Of Russian Ad Spend Happened AFTER The Election" https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/10/hard-questions-russian-ads-delivered-to-congress/

"many of these ads did not violate our content policies. That means that for most of them, if they had been run by authentic individuals, anywhere, they could have remained on the platform."

Meanwhile...

  • The DNC literally rigged a national primary election to get the result they wanted.
  • Hillary Clinton took millions of dollars in foreign donations for her campaign.
  • Hillary's campaign colluded with multiple media outlets, telling which stories to run, when, and getting editorial control.
  • Obama administration was literally wiretapping Trump's campaign manager DURING the election.
