It appears Taibbi and Dershowitz are trying to save the Democrats from embarrassing themselves.

Russiagate started as a ruse to get people's minds off Pedogate.
That's when "fake news" was invented. The lamestreamers are running with it as if their entire existence depends on it.
Throw in a made-up Putin conspiracy and you got yourself a winner.
The problem is most of us are finding it difficult to watch the nightly news, the late night comics and SNL, so we have stopped watching.
They are all acting like as if they just pound at it every chance they get then they will win.
They are all full of crap.

I think it was more like a diversion from Seth Rich and Wikileaks. The “meddling” they are howling about came from Wikileaks, not Russia

I think it started in the fevered imagination of Russia hating Ukrainian activist and Clinton associate Alexandra Chalupa.

From what I can gather, the Hillary Campaign came up with the
Russia story ( from the hillary campaign book, I don't recall the title) the day after the defeat to delegitimize the Trump win with the story “the Russians stole the election” So far it seems that DNC IT staffer Seth Rich forwarded over 44,000 e-mails with about 17,000 attachments to wickileaks. Seth was shot in the back and killed just after he released the e-mails, but before wickileaks posted them. The democRATs are trying to blame the e-mail relaee on Trump collaboration with Russia. It seems it was DNC saffer Seath Rich who was a Bernie supporter and was upset that the DNC sabotaged Bernie so he released the DNC e-mails that showed what they did..

Just before and after the election Pedogate was exploding. Seth Rich was killed in December over a month after the election.
RussiaGate is the fire they set to keep our minds off the real crimes, hoping that whatever they concoct will make Trump look bad by comparison.
By the way, when is Susan Rice going to be held to account for her felonies?

When Wikileaks poured out volumes of evidence that the Democrat Party was a vile mob of hypocrites and thugs, the DemonRATs needed a counter offensive. The way to do that is to attack the messenger. They used the Alinsky Method to destroy the messenger by making America think they were Russians. The cornerstone of this strategy is you cannot prove a negative which is an event that has an absence of evidence that it happened. If someone were to assert that there is a ghost in their closet, then my failure to observe the ghost in the closet would not constitute good evidence that there is no ghost in the closet. That’s the ticket!

I believe the Russia Gate started with a Trump comment during the primaries. When it was discovered that Hillery’s emails were deleted, Trump said to get them from the Russians. Simple as that. The Rats grabbed on to that and ran with it.

This is an easy one to argue with leftists: Just tell them it’s been seven months of this nonsense since he election and we still haven’t heard anybody articulate a specific crime.

Russian lie started to provide cover for the illegal spying on Trump during the election.

Exactly correct. Trump made a joke and it gave them license.
