Because the russians didnt go after the actual voting machines, that mechanism, they appeared to have scanned a number of Registration Data bases but we have no evidence that they actually manipulated the votes. So those 3 million illegal votes came from some place else. But because we dont do that, we have no idea in the end how successful or nonsuccessful this was. And youre trying to separate it out in an election where there were other factors. Statements made by james comey, fbi director about Hillary Clintons emails. The fact that secretary clinton didnt prove to be an enormously effective candidate. And so how all of these things mix in is very difficult to tell. And that part of what made the russians so successful here. Because if you think that before they didnt start this operation in 2015 when this all began. Thinking that they were going to get donald trump elected. They thought like most of the people in this room thought, that his candidacy would be over by september or october of 2015. And yet as time went on, it looks like their goals evolved. And they evolved because they were able to move from information gathering, which is where the fsb began, to making information public that might simply disrupt the election, make people lose confidence in our system, to the very end, if you believe the assessment of u. S. Intelligence, actually entering on behalf of donald trump. Also on the panel, former National IntelligenceCouncil Officers fiona hill and author of a new book on siebor security ben buchanan.
