WHY would the Russians interfere in the election to help TRUMP? What would they stand to gain? They had already made great progress throwing money at Shrillary while she was SOS, so it would seem much more likely that they would want HER to win. After all, with all of the skeletons in her closet, and her penchant for corruption, Shrillary would have been much easier to influence/control, wouldn't she?
The whole Trump-Russia collusion thing is absurd on its face.
"Rachel Maddow, the top-rated cable-news host who covers Russiagate more than all other issues combined, has speculated that Putin was responsible for the hiring of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson; is inducing Trump to weaken the State Department and bleed out the FBI; and, via the infamous pee tape alleged by Steele, may blackmail Trump into withdrawing US forces near Russias border."
Sorry, I am just not buying this nonsense, just as most people with more than 10 functioning brain cells aren't.
The whole Trump Russia thing is a wholly manufactured set of contacts put in play by Steele and his MI6 and Russian contacts. They setup Russians to contact Trump people just so they could justify FISA warrants and unmaskings. Everything was known in advance, Flynn was setup. Papadopolous is a question mark maybe a double agent/plant.
Excellent question! Especially when the Russians gain so much during the flexible Obama Administration.
The Democrats answer is & has been that a President Trump would not level sanctions against Russia.That in fact is their entire narrative, that Trump promised them he wouldn't place sanctions on them if they helped him get elected. Of course it is nothing more then a narrative constructed from whole cloth to create an "insurance" policy to attack Trump should the unthinkable happen, in hopes of destroying his Presidency in its infancy.
