Just can't shake the squicks.

I don't want to ask, but I'm gonna:

Who benefits by the very interesting timing of this "scandal"?

1. Nobody now, it all seems to be sorted out.

Rather quickly too. Putin wants Trump in the WH, he remembers how weak America was with Dubya and Cheney. So does China. How do we know Russian or Chinese trolls aren't writing these emails? We don't and should be cautious.

2. The media.

3. OMG not the squicks!

4. The Wikileaks "bombshell" ...

... strikes me as more of a stink-bomb that didn't pass the smell test.

Perhaps its release was premature - it was meant to be coordinated with the other planned event of no consequence: the Fart-In.

You'd think the stenchmongers would at least have synchronized their watches ...

5. it hopefully wont have any or maybe a small effect

BUT.. Hillary is tanking on 538.com... god help us all.. please tell me this isnt a waking nightmare.. we need to GOTV like mad to prevent Rump

6. Ours or his?

Ours has had extensive damage control at the top and a fast response to any sort of embarrassing problem is the best bet for eliminating long term consequences. In our favor is the continuous drumbeat of fake scandal after fake scandal involving Clinton that have all come to exactly nothing. The faithful are losing faith fast.

Now his is another matter. Although the mass media are studiously ignoring his ties with Putin and the less than savory characters around him since nobody here is much interested in funding a serial bankrupt's run for high office, this is growing a few legs here and there in cyberspace. Maybe it will take off and maybe it won't but the squick factor is there, especially for knee jerk anti Russkies who are still fighting the Cold War.

This whole thing is fascinating. We are living the Chinese curse, that's for sure.
