Much blather here from the Trump and Putin apologistas to the effect that the US intelligence services haven't made public convincing evidence that Russia interfered with the US election.

The US intelligence services and the US government are under no obligation to publicly prove anything.

Their obligation is to protect the US and its citizens. 

Full stop.

If keeping some or all of whatever information they have is required to execute that obligation, that is exactly what they will do.

And they will move forward with whatever actions they believe are warranted with or without revealing what they know, again, if they believe that is in the best interests of the US.

The US is under no obligation to prove anything to anyone before acting in their own defense.

They will act, and it will be punishing for Russia and Mr. Putin.

And those who think that Trump will be able to deflect the US government from meaningful action have not been listening to the bipartisan Congress.
