Trump said he would go after "their families," and now we know what he meant. This, folks, is how you plant and grow future enemies, i.e. terrorists.

Other republicans benefitted from Russian hacking.

Let's please not forget that Democrat house candidates were also targeted by Russian hackers.

The Art of the Distraction

Washington Post: It is past time to dispense with the fiction that Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is trying to distract us. And, at least this weekend, he succeeded.

-- The country’s chief law enforcement officer made a false statement to Congress, while under oath, about his contacts with one of this nation’s biggest adversaries. (Legal experts, including Republicans, note that others have been prosecuted for less.) When he got busted, the attorney general initially claimed through a spokeswoman that he couldn’t recall specifics of what had been said during his undisclosed sit-down with the Russian ambassador, except that it wasn’t political in nature. Then, with his job on the line, he miraculously remembered supposedly exculpatory details.
