An overseas enemy struck at the core of the republic—and it succeeded. Trump and his minions helped and encouraged this attack by engaging in secret contacts with Moscow and publicly insisting no such assault was happening. This is far bigger than a bribe, a break-in, or a blow job. And, worse, the United States remains vulnerable to such a strike.
Yet the full impact of this scandal does not resonate in the daily coverage and discourse. In many ways, the media presents the Russia scandal mostly as a political threat to Trump, not as a serious threat to the nation. And many Americans, thanks to Trump and his allies, view it as a charade. All this shows how easy it is for disinformation and demagoguery to distort reality. That is a tragedy for the United States. For Trump—and Putin—that is victory.

MoJo is still around?
The biggest scandal to Mother Jones is depriving Hillary of her paid-for Potusness.
We can laugh all we want. The left BELIEVES this crap. They are insane and dangerous. They are also polluting the minds of kids and those vulnerable to their liberal rot.
I’m ahead of the game. I already know the Cyrillic alphabet and the Russian words for “yes,” “no,” “beer,” “wine,” “vodka,” and “borsch.”
This is all being setup by the Muz.
They know that a united USA-Russia on terrorism will be the end of them.
If they can keep the USA and Russia focused on each other, they can get away with just about anything.
You are very right on that! This overly long article doesn't even agree with facts that have been released. The author is severely delusional.
Amazing that this clueless dweeb is still scribbling his nonsense.
Get real. Left-wing propaganda.
I have to admit the Russians are doing a good job running the country. Economy’s doing great, jobs everywhere.

Leftists Lie as Easily as They Breath
In America I suppose people have the right to say whatever lies they want to, but everyone else has the right to denounce them for their lies and point them out as dishonest anti-american scumbags.
Oh yeah. They’re on to us now.
This is what’s known as a dying gasp.
It was those subversive Facebook ads. Admit it. You were going to vote for Hillary, then you saw a Russian Facebook ad and pow! It changed you forever. You just had to pull the lever for Trump. Brainwashed, you were.
Mother Jones and David Corn’s communist screeds are not welcome on Freerepublic last I heard.
It’s Vorn. It’s Mother Jones
What do you expect?
I found a sentence that makes sense in the right context.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These people really need to stay away from sharp objects. LOL
I'm so old, I remember when Free Republic would never do that.
There are fewer and fewer sources that are reliable, and search engines censor inconvenient facts. That leaves FR wallowing in a handful of clickbait blogs as the opinion leaders.
Exposing the holes in Leftist claims is probably more useful now.
Where’s the beef!
Didn’t see any beef, Corn.
