As the US government and intelligence agencies continue to chase the phantom traces of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, it appears that White House spokesperson Josh Earnest managed to find out who was really responsible for Donald Trump’s victory.
Well, either that or maybe he simply forgot which foreign power is supposed to be blamed for what.
“What I’ve tried to do is present object facts and I think the objective fact that’s relevant here is the intelligence community, a month before the election, came forward and presented a unanimous view, a high-confidence assessment, that China was engaged in malicious cyber-activity to destabilize our political system,” Earnest proudly announced during a press briefing.
Alas, he did not explain why the US government and intelligence agencies appear so eager, if not desperate, to attribute the result of the latest presidential election to some sort of malicious outside influence.
