She did a great job. Trump's twitter account went into hyperspace today over this.
There were quite a few important things that came to light today. One of which was that multiple foreign (European) intelligence agencies warned the US about Trump's involvement with the Russians prior. We also learned that Obama warned Trump of Flynn, that he may be compromised, yet Trump hired him anyway. Even after Yates warned the new administration of Flynn's issues, it took an article from the Washington Post to finally let him go.

Russia didn't make her avoid Wisconsin, Michigan or anywhere in PA outside of Philly.
First of all, she barely lost those states in the EC.
Secondly, Russians used data from their hacking expeditions to pinpoint specific demographics (ie, those rustbelt states) and then blast them with fake news, and fake social media accounts. Russia absolutely played a role, without a doubt.

It's interesting to me that the Russian hackers didn't have the same influence on French voters as they did on our voters.
They tried.
There is speculation that Macron may have been prepared for this:
Did Macron Outsmart Campaign Hackers?
While it's still too early to tell, so far the big document dump by hackers of the Macron campaign has not been damaging.

Nearly every conservative online...that's all. Walking lockstep as always.
So the same people you generally accuse of being homophobic, are now upset that Colbert called Trump's mouth a "cock holster"? Which is it. Either the GOP is homophobic or they're (the people who give a shit what a late night comedian says) using the same BS PC/Victim card rolled out by the left everytime someone uses an unapproved word.
You seem to be confused. I'm merely pointing out that what Colbert said was not homophobic IMO. While conservatives are claiming it is. That's it.

The hypocrisy of a bunch of ignorant buffoons decrying a homophobia yet supporting an administration that supports conversion therapy is a little rich.
Context is everything. It was hardly homophobic. But I wouldn't imagine Trump fans are too bright.
If they think they are angry about Colbert, what are they going to do if Comey has bad news for them? Their heads will explode.

Maybe these snowflakes need a safe space where they won't hear bad things! (or get negative karma)
Of course one of the trending hashtags on twitter is spelled wrong: #Firecobert
