The accusation that President Donald Trumps 2016 campaign colluded with the Russians, and that he is trying to cover it up, looks increasingly like a classic Russian disinformation campaign one designed to bring down the only president since the Cold War who has actually been willing to confront Russia in any meaningful way. It is an article of faith on the left that Russia wanted Trump to win the election because Vladimir Putin anticipated a more pliant approach, signaled by Trumps explicit desire to negotiate a better relationship. But the Russians may just as well have preferred Hillary Clinton, who had given Russia everything it wanted while serving as President Barack Obamas Secretary of State from the ill-fated reset, to a surrender of U.S. missile defenses in Eastern Europe, to the sale of 20% of Americas uranium reserves to a Russian company closely tied to the Russian state.
It is more plausible to suggest that Russia simply wants to disrupt American politics if it can get away with doing so, and would do the same regardless of which candidate won the election. Even if for arguments sake Putin once preferred Trump, that would not preclude him from trying to undermine President Trump now, if possible.
And in the Democrat-media complex, Putin has found a particularly potent weapon, aimed directly at the president. One could not imagine a better way to create havoc for an adversary and the left is playing into the enemys hands, eagerly and mindlessly, forgetting its own slavish enthusiasm for Russia for nearly a century.

Looks more like a CIA disinformation campaign to me. What’s so Russian about it?
That’s actually a brilliant strategy. Accuse President Trump of colluding with Russia using its America-hating surrogates in the American political/media cesspool to carry its water.
I bet if we look hard enough there are Russian connections to those doing the attacks on trump. I always felt that was the case

especially since the CIA can make it look like the Russians....
I can’t get past my feeling that Putin wanted HRC elected.
Neither can I.
The question is: Who hates President Trump more? Russia or The CYA?
And the MSM fell for it - HOOK - LINE & SINKER !!!!!
Love your user name gov_bean_counter. Ditto here but retired.
I also wonder if the WH is somehow bugged, or if someone in the WH has an embedded surveillance device. I would hope the Secret Service and President Trump’s security were sophisticated enough to detect it, but ... there are alot of leaks.
Thank you. Proudly supporting America’s war fighters since 1989.
I have posted so many times (people think I am nuts) that I think the White House, Residence, West Wing, Vehicles are all bugged.
No, I am not paranoid, Obama had some renov’s done immediately prior to his departure.
I hope behind the scenes propagate, Seth Rich, email server, Clinton Foundation are being investigated by Sessions.
Never made sense that Russians wanted Trump over Hillary. Democrats are too stupid to see that.
I’ve been saying this from the start. The Russians and the DC Swamp are the only winners in this. The Swamp is playing right into the Russian’s hands. Or they are purposefully taking the bait.
Case closed. Communist sympathizers have infiltrated the Lame Stream Media and are destroying the Trump Administration and, with it, the greatness of America. The DemonRATs are their useful idiots along with Americans who have swallowed the Kool Aid. All the while, the Republicans are too occupied with lining their pockets before the Swamp gets drained.
