While couched in a whole series of other lies, even Donald Trump has admitted that Russia was behind the hacking of political campaigns/individuals during the 2016 election. Let that sink in for a moment. A president-elect has admitted that a foreign government interfered in a U.S. election in a way that benefited him. That fact alone is astonishing.
The only remaining question is whether or not Trump colluded with Russia in his attempt to win the presidency. Frankly, it is hard to imagine anything else he could say or do to prove the ties. Both Matthew Yglesias and Anne Applebaum suggest that what we already know about this partnership is bad enough. And both of those articles were written before Trumps interview with Germanys Bild and the Times of London. Trump basically affirmed everything Putin (and Steve Bannon) would want from his presidency.
1. Saying NATO is obsolete
2. Cheering the breakup of the EU
3. Denigrating Angela Merkel for letting all these illegals into the country
4. Putin immediately expressed his gratitude.
