The best thing Donald Trump has going for him right now is that he has a completely clean slate as a federal office holder. That all changes if he is elected and then sworn in. I’ll be honest that I don’t trust him. He may end up disappointing many or all of us. I hope he doesn’t and that he would be a great President. I honestly trust that with Hillary that I’m pretty sure there will be no surprise at what we’d get if she were President - we’d get a total disaster.

Thanks, forwarded to all my lefty friends who have been circulating the nonsense about Trump’s secret Russian server.

Although the Slate article mentions Occam’s Razor, Foer never actually takes seriously the simplest plausible explanation for all of this: The Trump Organization owns a bunch of expensive, obnoxious spam servers that churn out marketing emails for its expensive, obnoxious hotels. Spectrum Health, an entity in this story whose presence never made any sense, provided the following statement:

Our experts have conducted a detailed analysis of the alleged internet traffic and did not find any evidence that it included any actual communications (no emails, chat, text, etc.) between Spectrum Health and Alfa Bank or any of the Trump organizations. While we did find a small number of incoming spam marketing emails, they originated from a digital marketing company, Cendyn, advertising Trump Hotels.

Well, Hillary is disqualified, so, that leaves Trump.
