You have to wonder, why all this saber rattling right before an election? What of our interests in Syria has changed in this timeframe? None that I can tell.
Even if they believe that Trump is somehow connected with Russia and Wikileaks, they should be thinking Hillary has a lead in the RCP average and the media has her covered with suppressive fire and will do so until the election is over. So, what gives?
It either means they are hyper-paranoid and don’t believe Hillary’s lead is durable or real, or they know what else Wikileaks has on her and have to lay the foundation for the lie of international election tampering before the bombshell(s) drop.
I suppose it could also be that they’re going to use it as a pretext to invalidate a possible Trump victory and hold onto power. I would think/hope that would have to be a long shot as if would effectively mean Ft. Sumpter II, but really, it probably wouldn’t last that long before POTUS was arrested or killed.
They’re trying to cancel out the belief that the obama admin including Hillary are weaklings.
