Is the reason that Trump denies and ignores Russian hacking ("Let's move on" because that there are "fingerprints" of communication between his camp and Putin's encouraging and perhaps even directing the hacks?

(7,431 posts)has enough dirt on Trumpy to render him completely powerless and ineffective. And if Trumpy DOESN'T know it already, he will. If he offers ANY resistance to Putin's agenda, we'll see timely and incrementally damaging leaks into the press coming from "unknown sources". Investigative articles by David Corn and others show that Trumpy has been groomed by the Russians for their own purposes for at least the past five years. They've likely got a dossier on Trump that can fill entire file cabinets. They have records of his personal behavior, including likely rapes and death threats, and they also have his financial and tax records. These records were likely gathered long before Trump announced his candidacy, when he had no reason to believe that he'd ever have to be held accountable.
If Trumpy isn't a willful accomplice to Putin's agenda, his actions will render him a Russian stooge anyway. Some Republicans in Congress will catch the scent of treason, call it by a euphemism, but nonetheless resist Trumpy's love affair with Putin. When Trumpy gets crossed by Republican members of Congress, his twitter device will heat up, and his enemies list will grow exponentially. He'll be consumed by revenge, and he'll not be able to function in his elected capacity (if he ever could).
As a president, Trumpy's only style of governance that's consistent with his twisted personality is Fascism. The degree to which he lies and obfuscates is stunning, and can only be compared to that of Hitler. FINALLY, we are now reading journalists who are maturing enough to state the obvious: Assume that Trumpy's every statement is a LIE, and immediately set out to prove it. Cut the MSM's narrative off at the knees, every day, every time.
