I think you are misrepresenting the facts. Russian operatives attempted to hack both Republican and Democrat campaigns. Democrats had poor digital security and their questionable moves became public. Republicans had better fire-walls and thwarted the attacks. Everyone expects foreign meddling. That's not the same as when the CIA/NSA spy on Americans. People should be concerned when their government's spies collect private conversations of its own citizens and then use that information against them and especially when the CIA/NSA use that information to manipulate our elected officials. How can anyone trust the NSA collecting massive data to "keep us safe" when they use that information to advance political agendas?
