Tweet from the Washington Post-- US Investigators know the people

connected with the Russian government who released DNC's emails to Wikileaks.

"It's the assessment of the US intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favor one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected."

This was a COUP and we are witnessing the continuation of that coup.

Trump had to know, as well as his henchmen.

as an all-mighty mastermind/criminal genius capable of stealing an election right under the nose of the most qualified candidate in history on television for all to see using russian spies, space aliens, time travelers, and lizard people in perfect physical (and temporal) coordination with no evidence left behind (I'm pretty sure the time travelers cleaned it all up). He will really make the history books great again

But I imagine waking up one morning to
hear that the entire Trump/GOP cabal
has been indicted and the whole mess
is blown open for all to see. I can dream
can't I?

11. Trump Computer Server Tied To Russia
Fri Dec 9, 2016, 11:18 PM
Dec 2016

In an election season where cybersecurity has been a major issue — from Hillary Clinton’s email server to the hacks, believed to be tied to Russia, that compromised her campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee — a group of computer scientists stumbled upon evidence possibly connecting a Donald Trump mail server to a separate server belonging to Russia’s Alfa Bank. The discovery, reported by Slate, came just as the New York Times reported that the FBI found no direct link between the Trump Organization and the Russian government.

If they just wanted to mess with election, why would they only release emails from one side (DNC)?

we need to demand to know everything there is to know about paul manafort, and how he got to be cheeto's campaign manager.
did he talk him into running?
is he a puppet that doesnt know he has strings? yet?

Check the comments attached to the WaPo's stories. The Trumpsters don't believe a word of the story, or that there's any Russian influence. They say it's a false story planted to discredit their King. Basically they're still spiking the ball in the end zone.
I wonder what will be the tipping point event when they realize they've been played.

and needs to be pressed hard on the issue. Kellyanne Collaborator will spin like a top, but the press shouldn't give her an inch on this, either.
