Slow down; I can't keep up

Remember K.T. McFarland a few posts back? The reporters are on it like flies on cowpies.
In emails obtained by the New York Times, transition advisor K.T. McFarland sought to coordinate with other members of the Trump transition team in the wake of sanctions intended to punish the Kremlin for interfering in the U.S. presidential election. “If there is a tit-for-tat escalation Trump will have difficulty improving relations with Russia, which has just thrown U.S.A. election to him,” McFarland wrote to Thomas P. Bossert, who currently serves as Trump’s homeland security adviser.

Is that just very poorly worded, or is she saying Russia has "just thrown [the] election to him?"
The White House said McFarland’s email was intended to express the opinion of Democrats, not herself.
That sounds like a Kellyanne excuse, but The Hill says it was a lawyer. (But, maybe Kellyanne is a lawyer. Whatever she is, if she's smart, she's packing her bags and buying land in Nicaragua.) Whoever is charged with covering up all the gaffes of this addministration with something even remotely plausible isn't getting paid enough.  And that ridiculous explanation leads me to believe she was indeed saying Russia just threw the election to Trump.  She'll be paying a visit to Mueller soon, if she hasn't already (since Mueller has the email).  As will Tom Bossert.

...but hey, do what you want...you wll anyway.
