This story: “I think there is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections ... we need to take action and we will,”    

So when governments in the Middle East donated tens of millions of dollars to Hillary Clinton's campaign, that didn't "impact the integrity of the elections" ???  There's a strong probability that those donations were influential in alienating an important part of Hillary's voter support.   Don't blame the Russians.  That's self destruction.
