Did CNN not also do that for 2 years with the fake Russia gate news story, and by claiming Trump was involved in some how hacking the election? A lot people didn't (and still don't) view Donald Trump as a legitimate President because of them running that news story for several years, it likely affected the outcome of the next election, but that's okay. When citizens are falsely told by a large media outlet for several years that their President has been in collusion with a hostile foreign state, is that not a danger to Democracy?
Russia did interfere. People associated with Trump worked with Russia or Russian agents, the release of the hacked emails being one such event.
For me if people associated with the candidate are working with foreign entities to influence an election that is about as wrong as it gets. Lets not forget his own son and son in law met with Russian agents to try and get dirt on Hilary. They were not there to discuss adoption lol.
Tell us where the 2020 election was stolen? You can't because it wasn't. The Trump administration against Trump's wishes said it was the most honest election ever. I believe he fired the person responsible for releasing that because he went against his big lie.
Trump was saying the election was going to be stolen from him in 2016 long before the actual election. He and the likes of Tucker have done way more to undermine democracy than the likes of CNN.
You realise that there are legitimate links to Russia that aren't anything nefarious, right? People in business and politics deal with people of all nationalities and governments, someone from Russia speaking to someone from Trumps campaign could be about rigging the election, it's more likely to be about discussing Trumps policy towards Russia should he have won and what that might look like, forming working relationships. The problem is that for some reason you don't look at the most straight forward answer being the right one, you're looking at some how delegitimising Trump as a President. This is what the likes of CNN did to people, they are blatant propaganda, along with basically every US media outlet.
So Roger Stone working with Wikileaks and Russia to release those hacked emails was legitimate was it? Was Trump's NSA talking to Russia behind the US governments back and undermining them and then lying to Pence legitimate? The Republican controlled Senate reports on Russia Interference said Russia interfered and worked to help Trump get elected.
Nothing unique, the UK does it, China does, the US does it; it's unfortunately how international intelligence services work.
Media says alleged double agent may have been tasked with spying on committee investigating NSA's activities in Germany

The US were caught spying on Germany, an ally lol. Russia isn't some special country doing bad things and we're the good guys, everyone pushes their own self interests.
Those are nothing like what happened in 2016.
You're saying "..." because there's supposed to be an inference, but there's no evidence of that. You are doing the thing that you accuse others of doing, delegitimising an election.
We have no idea. We do know he spent 90 minutes talking to Putin with no one but an interpreter which is pretty much unheard of. Why didn't he want his closest aides in that meeting? What was said?
Did that affect more or less votes than the Hunter Biden story? I'm guessing far less.
That is all you've got and its still a massive non story. Years later the Republicans in Congress have zero on Biden in regards to this. His son was never in government service, his son wasn't running for office. The firing of that corrupt prosecutor in Ukraine was supported by every Western gov and institution because he was corrupt and in Putin's pocket. You sound no better than James Comer, banging on the same drum because that is all you have but its a nothing story.
If you are so concerned with the family of candidates why the hell did his son in law get $2b in investment straight after Trump left office? Its not because he's some great businessman, he's the opposite, he had to be bailed out of a bad investment in 666 Fifth Avenue by Qatar while he worked in the WH and that is shady as **** as the Trump administration changed its policy on Qatar just before the "investment". Why aren't you concerned at that like you are Hunter Biden?
