Everybody should care about the topic of Russian interference.


But your point is it became about something political, and for quite a few anti-Trumpies, about a savior from Trump. My sister fell into that category. I have not mustered the strength to talk to her about it yet.

Unlike you I suspect, I actually blame Trump for quite a bit of it. His decision to fire Comey ensured there would be a special prosecutor, and any chance that the investigation would be mostly about foreign interference, not politics, evaporated. Granted, it was already political, but the Mueller appointment took it to a new level.

That's been about my biggest objection to the whole thing. The spectacular story which should attract bipartisan attention is that Russia interfered, and how that should be addressed and prevented in the future. Instead, it became a pro-Trump/anti-Trump issue. Almost a political identity topic, like climate or guns. You have to adopt the appropriate viewpoint to be a card carrying party member.

All Americans should have the same goal relating to foreign interference in elections.
