(44,123 posts)Greenwald isn't the only one pushing the idea that Russian interference in the 2016 is "unproven." Stein peddled this nonsense as well.
The "unproven Russian interference" meme is very big with the BoB's at Reddit.
The idea is that the Democrats/Evil Hillary made the whole thing up. (Similar to what Trump twitted yesterday)
You may remember the "Sane Progressive". If you can stand watching, this is the mindset.
