Who said the emails "changed" the election? Here we go moving the goal posts again. YOU said they weren't released in time to have an effect on the election, I proved you wrong. They were released in plenty of time to have an effect. An "effect" does not necessarily mean that they changed the outcome of the election. Two big data dumps like that, along with the corresponding media coverage, almost certainly had some type of effect on public opinion. But the point is, being released three months and one month before the election is plenty of time for any information to have an effect on an election.

OK, so you believe that the CIA/FBI/NSA/DIA/etc. are all lying to you. And you believe that the entire mainstream media is lying to you. And apparently you also believe that all the top cyber-security firms are lying to you. What about Republicans in Congress? While they continue to deny that Trump colluded with the Russians, Republicans in Congress fully admit that Russia interfered in our election via coordinated hacking efforts and disseminating fake news propaganda to influence the American electorate. THEY ADMIT THIS. Not Democrats, mind you, but Republicans.

Oklahoma senator James Lankford, a member of the intelligence committee, said on CNN Thursday that there's no doubt that Russia was behind the hacking of Democratic campaign officials.
Here's Senator Marco Rubio talking about how he was targeted by Russian hackers when he was running against Trump in the primaries:

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham: "We must punish Russia for interfering in our election" and "I'm 1,000 percent certain that the Russians interfered in our election."

The ship has sailed on this. The only people at this point who are still claiming that Russia didn't interfere at all in our election are the following: Donald Trump, Julian Assange, Alex Jones, and Vladmir Putin.

So think about that collection of above individuals that you find trustworthy and do some soul-searching.
