The Nation magazine is a communist rag, not to be trusted.
You can find a lot of that evidence on my FR Home page:
There is a TON of evidence that the Russians attempted to hurt Trump and help Hillary Clinton win the election!2. The second explanationcurrently, and oddly, favored by non-comprehending pro-Trump commentators at Fox News and elsewhereis that Putins Kremlin pumped anti-Trump disinformation into the American media, primarily through what became known as the Steele Dossier. As I pointed out nearly a year and a half ago, this makes no sense factually or logically. Nothing in the dossier suggests that any of its contents necessarily came from high-level Kremlin sources, as Steele claimed. Moreover, if Kremlin leader Putin so favored Trump, as a Russiagate premise insists, is it really plausible that underlings in the Kremlin would have risked Putins ire by furnishing Steele with anti-Trump information?
The point is that point 2, above, and3. The third possible explanationone I have termed Intelgate, and that I explore in my recent book War With Russia?: From Putin & Ukraine to Trump & Russiagateis that US intelligence agencies undertook an operation to damage, if not destroy, first the candidacy and then the presidency of Donald Trump.are mutually exclusive only to someone who accepts the fraudulent conceit that Russians must have illicitly helped Trump or he wouldnt have won.Now it is true that hacking Podestas email was illegal. But that doesnt mean it was done by the Russians; it might have been Seth Rich.
