Putin: Russian state didn't hack U.S. elections, but “patriotically minded” private Russian hackers maybe did

You wouldn’t get a conviction in an English court based on that though.
The fact is, as I understand it, that HRC got comfortably more votes but, owing to the Electoral College system (which is bonkers in its lack of consistency) she lost the election. Frankly, I suspect Republican strategists with computers over Russians with computers in that one.
