“Daniel Hoffman, a former chief of station for the C.I.A., worked for over 30 years for the United States government in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and South Asia.”: The opinion piece sounds like an effort to concede there was no collusion while still diverting attention away from the Democrats’ connection to Fusion GPS.
1. The Russians never meddled in any election.
2. They simply dealt with U.S. political campaigns the same way they've been doing it for years.
3. Hillary Clinton, the Democrats, a bunch of establishment Republicans, and their media flacks fabricated a story out of thin air about "Russian interference in the election."
4. The U.S. government is paralyzed by a story that is completely false, and was a construct of a bunch of @ssholes in Washington.
5. Therefore (somehow), the Russians successfully undermined the public trust in the U.S. election system.
WTF? Is this guy really blaming the Russians for all of the stupidity we've seen in Washington over the last seven months? LMAO.

The NYT, the Head Gangster, has just sent the word out: Russia-Trump-Collusion is over. The Underling Gangsters will dutifully follow.
The Fusion GPS connection and the possibility that the Russians and/or the Dems may have paid for the Trump Dossier is VERY DANGEROUS GROUND and must be short circuited. That is the motivation for this piece. It’s time to turn the volume down on the Russian involvement in the election. Danger ahead. Time to cool it.

BINGO
The story is leaking out 0- the REAL story, with the ‘final’ arrest of one of the Aman brothers -
So they are, it seems, trying to cut their losses.
They’ll knock off their phony TRUMP/RUSSIA Meme - and just blame Russia - So please don’t look behind the curtain - They are, it appears, ready to throw lynch, Comey, lil Debbie, the DNC- everyone EXCEPT the worst one - Cankles - into the fire.
Get the popcorn....
That's better said compared with my remarks on the OP. Now that the reports are getting close to identifying the guilty parties, the set up, now that light is starting to shine on the subject, let's "move on" in harmony with each other.
