Opportunity and motive are just not enough for a few on the INGO jury…Other countries finding evidence of it happening in their elections.

Ah. I see what you're saying. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened here. And I suspect that the spy agencies in the US wouldn't let that information out if another country did interfere with elections. Or obviously if they did it. But suspicions isn't actionable information.Other countries finding evidence of it happening in their elections.
Well.
That is not what the letter says though. "The board has sole discretion to determine if a violation occurred, and if so how it will be resolved."Not a smoking gun. The board still has to determine if there were violations. If the allegations are true, I think the right steps would be to ascertain the extent to which the violations impacted the election and report the findings to the public. Determine what laws were broken and start criminal proceedings against the perpetrators. And report on what corrective they will take to make elections more transparent, and prevent it in the future.
That may be. I suspect if the board says there were no violations we’ll be skeptical about it either way. But. The letter itself is not evidence of violations. The evidence of the violations is. I think that would be a good meeting fo televise. That ain’t happening.That is not what the letter says though. "The board has sole discretion to determine if a violation occurred, and if so how it will be resolved."
No part of that statement gives me any confidence that laws will play any real part in how violations are handled, much less that criminal proceedings will happen.
I hope you're not actually that credulous. CSIS is a captive agency funded by the US and other western governments. Does it not occur to you that:C'mon. Yer selling INGO short. I'm pretty sure what INGO told you is that the possibility that it could be done is not evidence it was actually done. I suspect that the spy agency has some actual evidence that it was done in Canahdastan (pronounced cah-NAH-duh-stan).
In our case, statistical inference. Always given short shrift as evidence, because it isn't 100% certain, by people who must not believe in quantum effects, either (in the unlikely event they are consistent)Evidence of China changing votes? Well. It wouldn't surprise me. But if the evidence isn't out because the administration won't let it out, how did you see the evidence to know about it?
'Your government has throughly investigated itself and found no wrongdoing. Move along, nothing to see here.'That is not what the letter says though. "The board has sole discretion to determine if a violation occurred, and if so how it will be resolved."

Not looking for 100% certain. Maybe something at least actionable? We're well beyond what should prompt fair investigations. That's all statistical inference will get you.In our case, statistical inference.

That was my favorite saying back in the Obama years, especially when Holder was AG. The Biden administration doesn't even bother to pretend. They just deny and ignore.'Your government has throughly investigated itself and found no wrongdoing. Move along, nothing to see here.'
Tell that to the IRSNot looking for 100% certain. Maybe something at least actionable? We're well beyond what should prompt fair investigations. That's all statistical inference will get you.
And the SEC, FBI…Tell that to the IRS
