Remember When You First Heard...

...that the Russians were hacking our election?

(inspired by Rachel)

It seemed like just after we learned of this, there was silence on the subject for a number of weeks.

I also recall that a small handful of us were asking the question "whatever happened to that whole hacking thing?"

I found the whole idea of another country hacking into our elections so outrageous that I couldn't understand why it wasn't leading the news every night. All we heard was that President Obama told Putin to "knock it off."

I even posted here and on FaceBook my concern that we didn't seem to be taking the Russian hacking very seriously.

Let me ask you...During that time, did you feel the same outrage concerning the hacking as you did the fact that it was not being covered?
