No evidence was presented during the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Thursday to support allegations that Russia hacked the US Presidential election, despite multiple calls by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham for the nation to “throw rocks” at the Kremlin.
The highly-anticipated hearing was expected to lay out the basis for US intelligence agency claims of Russian interference, but that was not the case. Instead, it was two hours of unsubstantiated statements, calls for aggression towards Russia, and hyperbole.
Testifying before the committee were Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and National Security Agency chief Michael Rogers.
“I don’t think that we have ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process,” Clapper told the committee, while refusing to provide evidence to back up his claims.
