1] “Study reveals how Russia helped Trump” [Craig Timberg, Tony Romm: Washington Post; 12/17/18]: “A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia’s disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation used every major social media platform…to help elect President Donald Trump – and worked even harder to support him while in office.”…
“..the first to study the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee..”…
“What is clear is that all of the messaging clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party – and Specifically Donald Trump,” the report said.” Note: read ALL of this. then, answer this question: WHY did the Russians want Republicans elected in general, and of course – WHY did they WANT Trump as U.S. president ????????
2] “Trump’s problem: Sum is greater than sleaze of its parts” [Michael Gerson; 12/23/18]: “As Mueller time approaches, it is likely that President Donald Trump’s defense will consist of two phrases: “But that is not illegal” and “But that is not impeachable.”
“It is a strategy that prevails by the lowering of standards. Because Trump did not plot election fraud directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin by Skype, and because Trump’s various crimes and misdemeanors do not constitute HIGH crimes and misdemeanors, the president is vindicated. Unable to make a case for his own virtues, Trump must aver that his vices are commonplace and inconsequential.”…
“It is now fully demonstrated that the Russian attack on the 2016 election was broad, ambitious, and designed to give Trump practical aid.”…
“..Russian intelligence was simply following the Fox News business model.”…
“The problem for Trump: When all this evidence is stitched together in a narrative – as Mueller’s report will certainly do – the sum is greater than the sleaze of its parts. Russian intelligence invested in an innovative strategy to support the election of a corrupt U. S. businessman with ties to Russian oligarchs. The candidate welcomed that intervention in public and private.”…
“This is an existential constitutional crisis,” says historian Jon Meacham, “because it’s quite possible the president of the United States right now is a witting or at least partially witting agent of a foreign power.” [ Question: as in the REAL “Manchurian Candidate” ??????}
3] “Trump’s foreign policy is source of Russian glee” [Neil MACFARQUHAR; New York Times; 12/23/18]: “A note of glee crept into Russian commentary and news coverage Friday about the current turmoil in Washington around national security, with President Vladimir Putin seemingly checking off one item after another that he might have written on his wish list for Santa.”…
“All that followed Trump’s already substantial effort to undermine NATO and the European Union by weakening the U.s. commitment to its traditional alliances.”
“Trump is God’s gift that keeps giving,” said Vladimir Frolov…Trump implements Russia’s negative agenda by default, undermining the U.S.-led world order, U.S. alliances, U.S. crandedibility… All of this on his own. Russia can just relax and watch and root for Trump, which Putin does every TV appearance.” [read. the article – WHAT is being said?????]
*** “When the President does it, that means it is not illegal.” [Richard M. Nixon; 5/20/77]
4] “With each passing day, it becomes more and more difficult to avoid the conclusion that the current president of the United states, Donald J. Trump, is either hiding something when it comes to the Kremlin, or simply one of its useful idiots.” [ “Trump/Russia”; Seth Hettena; 2018 ]
***!!!***!!! “Russia has never tried to use leverage over me, I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH
RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NOTHING!” [Trump; Twitter; 1/17/2017]
***. “The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.” [ Ralph Waldo Emerson ]
“One critical factor in the Trump-Russia scandal is the role the Russian Mafiya played within it…..critical to understanding both the allegations of collusion levied against the Trump campaign and Russia’s meddling in the U.S. election. It is the Russian Mafiya’s connections to both the Kremlin and now the White House that are at the heart of the Trump-Russia collusion scandal.”…
“Ego-centric people who lack moral principles – who are either too greedy or who
suffer from exaggerated self-importance. These are the people the KGB wants and
finds the easiest to recruit,” said Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB officer..”
Read Chapter 2: “Mafiya Taj Mahal” about Trump’s Atlantic City casino, its debt problems, breaking ‘anti-money laundering rules 106 times in its first year and a half of operation, known Russian criminals “frequented the Taj Mahal.” And the “grandfather of the Soviet racketeers” who lived in the Trump Tower.!!!!!!
“..the next phase of Trump’s business career, when he began to partner with criminals and accept criminal money from the former Soviet Union….Kenneth McCallion, a former prosecutor who tracked the flows of Russian criminal money into Trump’s properties, told me, “Trump’s genius – or evil genius, was instead of Russian criminal money being passive, incidental income, it became a central part of his business plan.”…
“…high level intelligence officer as saying that “Trump’s unorthodox behavior over the years had provided the authorities there with enough embarrassing material on the now Republican candidate to be able to blackmail him if they so wished.” [ “There are three ways of influencing a person: blackmail, vodka, or the threat of murder.” – Vladimir Putin; 2/1/2000]
….”When Chris started asking around in Moscow about this the information was just sitting there,” Simpson said. Not only were the allegations o Trump’s behavior in Russia not much of a secret but as Simpson later said, “People were talking about it freely.”……
“As the election approached [the Internet Research Agency} redoubled its efforts to dissuade African-Americans from voting via Facebook accounts like United Muslims for America…Coincidentally or not, The Trump campaign was pursuing the same campaign. A senior Trump campaign official told Bloomberg that an effort to suppress the black vote in Florida was one of “three major voter suppression operations under way.”…
“The president told the Russians about highly classified information provided by Israel…Israel had been warned before Trump took office…a group of Mossad officers were told by the CIA that Russia had “leverages of pressure” on Trump.”
OK – YOU tell me!!! Looking at the above, only a FRACTION of evidence about Trump and Russia:
1] WHY does Trump favor Russia?
2] WHY does Trump sabotage America’s NUMBER ONE post-1945 alliance, NATO???
3]. WHAT “leverages of pressure” does the CIA think Russia has on Donald J. Trump???
4] WHY did the Russians try so strongly to get Trump elected president?
5] WHY is Trump sabotaging America’s crucial “soft power” all over the world?
6]. Is Donald John Trump THE REAL “Manchurian Candidate” ???
