‘Why the Russians Are Backing Trump’: Maddow Previews Blockbuster Newsweek Story
Mediaite ^ | 11-3-2016 | Justin Baragona

Posted on 11/03/2016 11:12:08 PM PDT by tcrlaf

Just as has been done previously with huge stories broken by Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow got a hold of some excerpts of tomorrow’s article and shared them with her viewers.

In this instance, Eichenwald’s report appears to show the real reason why Russia and Vladimir Putin are backing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The story also has the subtitle that claims Putin wants to weaken NATO.

SNIP--

According to the article, Russian officials who were hacking to influence the election felt that if Trump were replaced by the Republicans, the next candidate wouldn’t be as good for Russia. Thus, they stopped hacking documents for a while.

This will just push more to vote for Trump because you won’t be able to ignore the fact that the left has totally come unhinged.

This is after the FBI said NO LINK BETWEEN TRUMP AND RUSSIA EXISTS! LOL!

Simple, sane reason that Russia would prefer Trump to Hillary.

Trump doesn’t want to go to war with Russia, like Hillary and her neo-con warmonger #NeverTrump GOPe co-conspirators want to do.

The Russians are sane enough to not want to go to war with the USA.

Weak. Very weak. Easily countered with Clinton being compromised by pay-for-play. China, Qatar, Saudis, etc.

Heck, since the Uranium One / CFIUS / Clinton Foundation story has been so poorly covered, the Trump camp could simply repackage that into a killer weekend ad.

Ummm, I seem to recall the FBI just announcing that they found no connections of any kind between Trump and the Russians.

John Bolton said the other day that Putin would much prefer Hillary because she’s exactly like BO—weak and ineffective.

This is the best they’ve got?

If the Russians were hacking to support Trump, why didn’t they hack to save Bernie, one of their own?

Rachel Madddow, the “Plastic Progressive”, is just a shill for the Corporatist Uniparty Democrats.

“hussein is laying the grounwork for invalidating the election.”

I agree...
Between “THE RUSSIANS!!!”, gas-lighting fake hate-Crimes this weekend, and a “Possible Terror Attack Monday”, they are laying the ground to suspend or delay the election if they don’t get the results they want.

You didn’t think all of these corruptocrats were just going to quietly march into the jails, did you?

Assume this is true (which the FBI has already stated it isn’t). How does this really hurt Trump? We aren’t in a cold war. The Russians aren’t evil villains. Heck, Putin is willing to do something to thwart ISIS, while Obama/Clinton are helping the terrorists. What am I missing here?

Newsweek has had a death and rebirth in recent times. I think after the first death it visited Hell and now it has been reborn as raw evil:

I thought the FBI said the Russians weren’t behind the leaks.

Whoever wrote that article has a severe case of ADD. All over the place and no logic.

Oh, wait. Maddow.
