The con artists get shut down and imprisoned. Some of those swindled may have been overly gullible, a dangerous state of being in this world, but the criminals are the swindlers.

The vast majority of African Americans, the vast majority of progressive voters, and the vast majority of all the Democratic target groups of voters that Russian propaganda efforts sought to manipulate saw through their gambit and turned out to vote for Hillary. That is all that can be asked of any demographic group. We reasonably ask of our government to move aggressively to counter con artists of every stripe. Mitch Mitchell stood in the way of our government widely exposing and firmly condemning Russian efforts to thwart our Democracy prior to the 2016 elections. Our government as a result let down America's voters at a critical juncture.

And Republicans nationwide consciously condone and pursue efforts to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters. Without that Russia's efforts on behalf of Trump would have been a candle snuffed by a hurricane.
