Woman on Don Lemon's show made a good point about why Putin

[applegrove]

is saying it might have been autonomous russian hack/bloggers who messed with the US election now. Seems it was once simple that Putin would get Trump elected and soft on Russia Trump would undo sanctions. Now it looks like there could be a Russia collusion investigation (s) for the next 4 years. Everything Russian could be laid bare. It is no fun anymore.

I thought that was a great point.

1. He's trying to keep ahead of the curve.

The truth will soon explode into the press so he's putting info out there so he will be able to control the narrative.

5. Yes, and he has got to be worried that the sanctions against

Russia will become more draconian, as a punishment for meddling in the West's elections.

2. Putin changes his story and lies constantly...just like his BFF

3. Putin has nothing to lose the United States loses he wins.

Either way Europe and the developing world does not want to be dominated by Russian energy or the American idiot promising a return to dirty energy. The United States is in decline and can no longer be trusted, no one has ever been able to trust Russia no matter the regime or governance.

4. Cyber tracers can find the source.

He knows Russians can and have been caught. He's just saying he had nothing to do with it which we know is bullshit.

6. I was watching Putin go on and on about a witch hunt and the Jews.

He's no laughing now.
