The truly amusing thing about all this. LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 13/07/2017 02:32:33 PM

So, everyone left, right, or center, has their own idea about what involvement Russia may or may not have had in our 2016 elections and possibly with the Trump campaign. All of that is murky and in much dispute.

You know what is generally not in dispute? The fact that all the "damage" done was to release to the public truthful information about how the Democrats operated during the primaries and other unsavory little tidbits. And, if one is to believe recent news reports, possibly trying to inject truthful elements about Hillary's possibly criminal behavior.

So, regardless of any other aspect to this, the core of it is this: all this drama is, at its heart, about the American voters getting additional truthful information during the campaign. That amuses me greatly, from weary watcher of all the political chatter.

"THEY POSSIBLY, MAYBE, COLLUDED WITH THE RUSSIANS TO TELL THE TRUTH!!!"

Quelle horreur.
