More than this Mueller stuff, I have actually been paying more attention to the politics going on *inside* Russia right now — as they will be hosting their presidential election circus in March.

“Circus” and “Fraud” are two words that perfectly encapsulate the state of Russian democracy and its dysfunctional electoral process/system.

So insecure and inept they are in building/foritfying their own institutions - that they have nothing better left to do than sabotage that of countries they envy and resent the most.

Excellent point........Mueller gives them more credit than what they’re worth.....they have enough to do keeping afloat there.

As far as I know Mueller found no evidence the Russian government was involved, or that the scheme had any measurable effect.

No matter the substantial issues with the Russian election system, it seems to do a pretty good job of reflecting the wishes of the Russian people.

Of course, some would argue the Russian people are too stupid to know what’s good for them.

I am not one of those.
