Of course you don't. That's because you're a knee-jerk Left Wing
Democrat, John. Reality just doesn't intrude for your sort.

Last I heard, both State officials and the FBI were still
investigating. Needless to say, Lamont's website never got attacked.

And do you have ANY reason to believe that to be the case? Of course
not. Just more 'wishing hard'.

Varies by poll, as always. When the typical error on such polls is
3%-5%, this isn't exactly meaningful.

But you will keep trying to 'wish hard'...
