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.

Or as Maxine would say “there’s something very reticent here”
EXACTLY!!!
“I don’t know what a reticent is, but it starts with the same letter as Russia!”
We can’t give up!! I have faith in Trump. He is working like nothing I have ever seen.
I don’t think he can undo all the damage that was done during O’s regime but I think things will definitely get better.
One might ask why the Russians partied when the press said she had won ( in error).
I was not aware of that.
I don’t recall seeing that anywhere, not that I doubt you at all.
Thanks. I am off to search for old news.
If the accusation is that the old soviet media has taken over ours, I’d have to consider it.
The Russians haven’t enjoyed the neocon and globalist restart of the cold war. This is an Intel community coup attempt.
The US President and top leaders are required to use special “secure” communications devices provided by NSA or CIA. The NSA might as well be standing in the room with them.
I would say, in AMERICA, it is more lIKELY that the CIA would be able to mount such a media and political blitz. Occam’s razor and all.
You have stated the case in a nutshell. The bias and ignorance of the smug media is beyond belief. Oddly enough, the crazier the Left gets, with their obvious racism towards whites and their insane insistence on collusion with the Russians, the better the Russians look to the folks on the Right. Russians seem to uphold family values and their leaders seem to have the guts to tell it like it is, which is now unusual to us. And, they are on the same side as us against the Islamists. Is this a move by Putin to win the red states by splitting the American people? Ironic, isn't it? I wonder if the savages on the Left have any idea how they would fare under a Putin regime?
So who is in charge of the CIA these days? What does their pattern of behavior suggest?
Russian Oligarchs gave the Clinton Foundation money laundering operation 150 million dollars via a Canadian Company used as a cut out. Russian Oligarchs gave Bill Clinton 500,000 dollars for a vapid 15 minute speech. These things do not happen with out Putin’s approval.
John Podesta and family received millions of dollars for work they did for Russian Oligarchs and banks. These things do not happen unless Putin wants it to happen.
Hillary’s private server was totally compromised. Putin knows everything that was on it inclusive of the 30,000 personal emails about yoga etc.
Putin and Russia did interfere in our elections. They were on Hillary’s side, not Trump.
It was talked about within the last four months as it had been buried to protect Hillary.
You have expanded my thinking very well. If I were the Russians, I would be exploiting this insanity for their own advantage. A nation divided is weak.
Absolutely. The Russians would have cleaned Clinton down to her Depends, just like they did Obola. Of course they preferred Clinton.
