No, Jim, as we all know the whole thing was a scam from Day One.

Russia/Putin NEVER wanted Trump. Trump promised vastly increased drilling for oil and natural gas, plus a YUUUGE defense build-up. Both of these things, in combination, bankrupted the old USSR (THANK YOU, Ronald Reagan and William Casey!!!!!), and would do the same to Russia (which gets about 2/3 of its foreign currency earnings from the sale of oil and gas).

Hillary Clinton, OTOH, promises no change from the restrictive drilling policies and environmental policies that hamstrung drilling under Obama, and likely wouldn’t have increased spending vs. Obama’s on defense. Plus, as a bonus, Russia likely had/has LOTS of information on Hillary that would have been useful in negotiations.

For Putin to have wanted Trump to win would have required Putin to be a drooling moron, or owned by Trump - either of which is far less likely than a flock of flying pigs blocking out the sun tomorrow at 12:00 P.M.

I do get your point, which is to logically tear up the Leftists’ arguments against Trump on this issue...but there never was any Russian involvement in “hacking” the election.

Good post sir!

The Clinton foundation received almost 200 million dollars from Russian Oligarchs. These people are very bad dudes and actually the KGB turned capitalists monopolies of Russian wealth. They give nothing to anyone unless there is a payoff for them. They invested heavily in Hillary. They give millions to hear Bill Clinton give a speech as did the oil monarchs in the Middle East. The speeches were not that good.

It is absolutely true that the Russians interfered in our elections via vast sums of money to the Clintons. However, their candidate that they backed with millions and millions of dollars lost!

When she lost I suspect Putin said, “Shite, 300 million dollars wasted on that incompetent woman.”
