There are two points of keeping the Russian narritive in the news. One is to keep the Democrat base energized and engaged. I have a few die hard Democrats in my family and they really believe the Russians got Trump elected. They believe the Steele dossier is true. They really believe every Trump voter is neo-Nazi white supremeist (yes, they have accused me of this). They are pumped up to go out and vote for every Democrat on the ballot in November to stick it Trump and his voters.
The second reason is the Russian narritive has been somewhat effective in swaying the non political and low info voters against Trump. I firmly beleive the Russia narritive is what is keeping Trump for getting approval ratings above 40%
ummm he’s at 51 per cent right now!
