Newsweek 2017 Duma member, "RUSSIA STOLE U.S. PRESIDENCY, PRO-KREMLIN POLITICIAN CLAIMS ON LIVE TV"

A Russian politician claimed on TV that Russian intelligence “stole” the U.S. presidential election under the nose of U.S. intelligence.

Vyacheslav Nikonov, a member of Russia’s lower house of parliament, the Duma, appeared Sunday night on a show hosted by presenter Vladimir Solovyov that focused on whether U.S. global influence was in decline.

“U.S. intelligence missed it when Russian intelligence stole the president of the United States," said Nikonov, before going on to extol the superior ability of Russian versus U.S. intelligence.

It's not as though the Russians don't like bragging about it. They were bragging about it while it was happening.
