The WashPost is claiming that the leaked "memo" was likely created by Russia however FBI director Comey was duped by it and it contributed to his recommendation that Hillary Clinton not be charged with anything when he announced his findings on her email investigations last July. WTF is going on? --- Well, possibly the FBI was "duped" by a faked email and that is what prompted Comey to come out with his statements about Clinton last year, as your post says. As has been reported many times and many ways, the Russians did what they could to ensure Trump's election. If this news proves true, it is more evidence the Russians helped throw the election in Trump's favor, and resulted in Comey trashing Clinton last year. Now, if the Trump campaign knew anything about this at the time...well... If this story is true, I am not sure which side it hurts more ... the Dems or the Republicans. At this point, if true, it hurts the Repubs because a good number of voters were swayed by Comey's actions and if it turns out he was duped into this, it delegitimizes Trump's election, but it doesn't disqualify him, not under our system. It'll just make his presidency more difficult. Now, if it turns out he knew about what the Russians were doing, well, that's even more grist for the impeachment and removal mill. It is often said that the Russians don't play checkers, they play chess. You are using a checkers mentality on this. If there is a Russian plot, it is to undermine our whole political system and it seems to be working out great as we are in this circular firing squad fighting among ourselves over bull****. That's for sure. Not good. Intel "leakers" should also be ferreted out and sent to prison. So, Trump should be on his way to prison, eh? You are making baby steps. You've just included Trump as part of the intelligence agencies. Trump is an intel leaker. |

This is not Ben Bradlee and Katharine Graham these days. It is Amazon.com's media outlet and I would not ignore the influence of Trump's FCC and their spin on net neutrality as it may affect Amazon. |
