Or maybe we're a steam release valve for Russian nerds - they can mess with our ideas without fear, but not with their own government's dictates... AND our people will use whatever excuse they can find to push a globalist agenda... So, it's both...
The Russia! story is misdirection on the part of our own government. Obama always surveils his rivals. He always has the goods on his opponents.
Russia! gave them legal cover for an otherwise illegal operation against Trump. They have to keep it going, because potentially careers are on the line and the people involved would be in legal peril.
Its an ironic thumb-in-your-eye that the people accusing Trump of being in bed with the Russians are themselves in bed with the Russians. I’ve always said, fine, lets investigate. Lets see who is actually taking money, giving money, doing favors and receiving favors from the Russians. And the Saudis. And the Chinese. And Ukraine. And Muslim Brotherhood. Lets get it all on the table.
