Microsoft says Russia tried to hack three 2018 US midterm candidates

quote [ [Microsoft] has already worked with the US government to foil Russian hacking attempts on three candidates... the hackers targeted the candidates’ staffers with the kind of phishing tactics used to inveigle their way into the Democratic National Committee servers in 2016: They set up a fake Microsoft domain and attempted to direct staffers towards it.

When asked yesterday if he believed Russia was interfering in the US midterms, Trump said: “No.” ]

May one question someone's beliefs?

Going by what happened in Helsinki, it's past a foregone conclusion now that it's more about money laundering than about elections now. And it's probably deeper and darker than we could have remotely imagined at this this point. Thanks to Citizens United, he entire GOP is probably buried in dirty Russian money, and Trump has been beholden to that dirty money for years.
