Why did the Political Elites do nothing?

Why did the Political Elites do nothing last summer and fall when it became obvious that Russian-sponsored hackers and other tech wizards were openly releasing information to help the Trump Campaign.

We know Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (a Benedict Arnold) threatened President Obama with calling this a political witch hunt against the Trump Campaign if he let it out. Why the President did not tell him to go to hell is beyond this writer.

We know through Newsweek that F.B.I. Director Comey wanted to expose this in an op-ed in the New York Times but was counseled against it by the Obama Administration for no satisfactory reason. Another question would be why Comey selectively followed their advice there but ignored it when reopening the Pandoras Box of the Hillary emails 11 days before the election?

Whether the powers that be did not want to rock the boat because everyone (including the Trump People) thought Clinton would win (the electoral college as well as the popular vote) is sad. The American People had a right to know. President Obama should have been better attuned to the reality of the situation and who cares if McConnell busted a gut. Like he cares about the country. All he cares about are his friends who benefited from Citizens United.

We now have an administration whose former National Security Advisor (Michael Flynn) is trying to negotiate an immunity deal for testifying about the possible Russian collusion with the Trump Campaign. This same Michale Flynn said, on Meet the Press, last fall that Clinton aides seeking immunity in the email controversies had probably committed a crime. Fast forward to today and makes you wonder what other shoes are going to drop and how many people in public service are going to possibly go down with this political Titanic.

Again, why did the political elites do nothing?
