Has hell frozen over or something? National Review, who could never find a positive thing to say about Trump has come out with an article proclaiming that there was no election hacking. The election was totally legitimate, and the Democrats know it. In fact, the once respected National Review is even claiming Democrats are playing a dangerous game by continuing with their Russian hacking nonsense. Remember, this is the same National Review that supported Evan McMuffin in the election over Trump. This isn’t even an April Fools joke.

It was only afterward, after she lost a contest she thought she had in the bag, that the election turned illegitimate. It was only after the campaign — after Hillary’s baggage no longer mattered, after the Democrats decided that “Russia hacked the election” was a better storyline than “we ran a lousy candidate and have lost touch with Middle America” — that Obama made a show of vigorous action against the same “cyber espionage” he’d pooh-poohed as par for the course seemingly five minutes before. Suddenly, on his way out the door, the president who’d sat on his hands while Putin sacked Crimea, grabbed slices of Eastern Ukraine, and abetted Syrian war crimes was moved to eject Russian diplomats, shutter Russian installations, and impose sanctions for what his administration labeled “Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities.” “Russia hacked the election” is politicized theater of the most irresponsible kind — the worst since Democrats last sought to delegitimize a Republican administration by agitating against a war they had voted to support, even as American men and women were laying their lives on the line. And in this theatrical exercise, just as in the last one, the Left is undermining national security for political advantage.
