#1 But it’s a critical part of the story, a major ball the FBI dropped – while devoting vast resources to the Clinton email probe

No 'ball was dropped.' The Russian hacking would have been discreetly handled in the early months of a Hillary Clinton presidency. Absolutely no need to fuel the dangers of her homebrew server and criminal mismandling of classified documents at such a critial, pre-inaugural moment.

The DNC wanted no part of an investigation which would highlight Clinton's misdeeds, and neither did that man some call Soetoro.

Director Comey and the FBI were dutifully compliant. They checked the 'given fair warnings' notifications box, and quietly exited the Kabuki stage as instructed.

A bit strange the Russians would not have been interested in hacking Republicans as well. Of course if one were hacking under the guise of a dastardly, evil Russian, perhaps that activity should be left alone. No need to terminate those useful feeds.

The Russian hacking meme was to come in handy much later as a key component of the Deep State 'regime change' strategy.

#2 Russians (or whoever) tried to access RNC servers, Besoeker. Difference was that their network security was much better and they didn't get too far.

Otherwise, I believe you are correct in your assumptions.

#3 while devoting vast resources to the Clinton email probe

Conveniently ineffectual resources, I might add. And I do.

#8 I'd hope the NSA tried to hack the server of Putin's party etc.
