U.S. has own history of election interference

I don’t understand the hand-wringing about Russian intervention in our presidential election. Isn’t this about the pot calling the kettle black?

How much U.S. taxpayer dollars have been spent over the years on “democratic elections” in other nations.

If the Russians were coming, why did the alarms go off so late? If Mr. Trump is in bed with the Russians, is it better than the nuclear adversarial days of Kruschev and Kennedy?

In the 1950s we executed the Rosenbergs for collaborating with the Russians. Times have changed.
