The much anticipated McCain hearing on Russian influence was a huge dud as a start to a new Senate. It accomplished absolutely nothing. It did show how smart the heads of their respective agencies are. But questions that should have been asked, weren’t. Did the Trump campaign know anything about the Russian hacking? How come the Russians could hack John Podesta’s emails but no one is capable of hacking Steve Bannon’s or Kellyanne Conway’s (or Paul Manafort’s) emails or, for that matter Trump’s taxes? It’s not worth bothering about Dimwit Donald’s emails because he can’t think of more than 140 characters at a time. But McCain showed himself again to be a “flash in the pan”, just like he did in 2008 when the economy crashed – splash with no substance. Obviously McConnell won that battle. I just wonder if the report to be furnished to President Obama will answer or at least address those questions.
