Russian hackers probed election systems in all 50 states, a new Senate report confirmed Thursday.
The report comes one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller told Congress that the Russian government is working to meddle in U.S. elections "as we sit here."
"It wasn't a single attempt," Mueller said Wednesday of Russia's 2016 election interference. "They're doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign."
The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee released Thursday confirmed previous comments by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that Russian hackers scanned election systems in all 50 states ahead of the 2016 presidential election. DHS initially acknowledged Russian attempts to hack into election systems in just 21 states.

#2 Is not only inaccurate (her family came here legally as refugees), the claims don't even make sense based on the timeframe and immigration law:

You notice even left-leaning Snopes doesn't say NO? They just cop out with "unproven". No leftist journo-activist actually wants the truth on that one, and Omar herself dodges the question every time it's brought up.

"left leaning snopes"
Is a hell of a way to say "the right wing constantly circulates flat unambiguous lies and require more refuting"

Rather than mod me down, I dare you to cite one goddamn case of snopes falsely calling a right wing true assertion as untrue.
One goddamn time.

It's more about the spin, explanation, and downplaying.
For example, HRC defended a person who was accused of being a child rapist. A meme went around saying she volunteered for the case, knew he was guilty, got him off, and laughed about it. The volunteer part was false. Snopes categorized the claim as "mostly false". Given that 3/4 of the claims were true, wouldn't "mostly true" have been more accurate?

Regarding whether she "knew" he was guilty, I suppose that depends on what "know" means -- she certainly seems to have presumed he was, otherwise her faith in polygraphs would not have been destroyed:
She also brags about how she lied about having a high level expert who would come down to "prevent this miscarriage of justice", and then laughs about that.

A lawyer is supposed to pull out all stops to defend the client. Badmouthing the client afterward to some degree may be a violation of attorney-client privilege, also is indicative of a lack of professionalism and ethics. But it is Hillary we are talking about.

Pull out all the stops, yes. Violate ethics by lying to the court? No. That is supposed to get you in trouble with the bar.
