Just remember, none of the allegations of “Russian hacking of the election” started until after Trump won. This is the intelligence community trying to cover their tracks for the political espionage by creating the illusion that it was justified by national security concerns. Their media flacks are already trying to sell this story by insisting that the FISA warrant must have been justified by some evidence of Trump collusion with the Russians. Remember, this is a completely manufactured fake story that is based on the totally worthless intelligence report put out by the agencies that presented zero evidence of any any Russian influence on the 2016 election. This isn’t McCarthyist it is Stalinist.

You are correct. Stalinist.

One thing that has me baffled is that the concocted stories about "Russian hacking" were so amateurish that they seem like the plot of a bad spy thriller from the 1980s. I mean -- who even thinks of Russia as an adversary of the U.S. anymore ... especially when you've got a joint U.S.-Russian International Space Station in orbit, and thousands of photos all over the internet of American political leaders meeting and dining with Russian officials?

Concocting this silly nonsense about Russia "hacking" the 2016 election is almost as ridiculous as making accusations about the Indiana governor's office influencing the election.

And Stalin was pretty successful for a while.
