text: AT:  Please read this quotation from my post, you must have missed it in your initial reading.  "While the actual "impact" can be debated, the action itself and the intent are, at least according to the CIA and the FBI, very clear" I'm not interested in trying to determine just how much "impact" the Russian actions had. That would simply lead to a "whole lot", "some", "a little", "virtually none" debate...There's no resolution to such a debate.  The real issue is a foreign nations ACTION and INTENT to influence the internal politics of another nation.  As I point out, we have been, time and again, guilty of doing just that.  Bribing officials, supporting coups, assassinating leaders, starting wars, invading nations, etc.....have been unsavory parts of our foreign policy.
  
  INTERFERING: Here's a very applicable definition: "take part or intervene in an activity without invitation or necessity."
