There is no question at this point Russia successfully hacked and influenced the US election. What isn't as well known though is the State Department received $120 Million grant in 2016 to prevent this from happening. As of today, nothing was used from those funds.

Currently, 23 analysts are assigned to countering Russia's political influence campaigns in the United States, not one of them speak Russian. There is currently a hiring freeze preventing the group from getting require computer experts to accomplish the task.
