Russia demonstrably influenced the 2016 elections. Now their state-run news entity is blaming someone else for the 2018 elections that conveniently, look to blow the lid off the election tampering from the Russians. They have no credibility. Do not pick a propaganda source and say "it's okay only when they're saying things I agree with."

SOmeone down below says, well they're okay sometimes but they're really bad other times. What the fuck does that mean? The idea of trust is I shouldn't have to navigate through a bunch of lies. The credibility with RT is zero.

As far as I know that's not what the summary said. The summary said there was no evidence of collusion, not that Russia didn't influence the election.

well it wasn't investigating if russia influenced elections and just if there was trump collusion

I suppose you think russia hacked podesta and gave his pedo emails to wikileaks? Is that how they influenced it? If so thank you russia.

The Russians don't give a shit who wins, as long as they divide the country. This type of geopolitics between the US and Russia has been going on since the second world war. I'm gonna guess they are playing both sides.

Bingo. It's 21st century Maskirovka on a grand strategic scale, especially in the cyber and information battlespaces. "Maskirovka is in fact war that is short of war, a purposeful strategy of deception that combines use of force with disinformation and destabilisation to create ambiguity in the minds of Alliance leaders about how best to respond" (Lindley-French 4).
