33. He had plenty of assistance from Russia in 2016

documented and wrapped up in a package ready for indictment or impeachment, a missed opportunity, though it is still there and available if the DOJ wants to use it.

What effect did it have on the election? Well, they put a lot of money into PAC's and into the Trump campaign and hid a lot of it. They almost over-ran social media. And in the three states where the final electoral margin came down to a matter of just a few thousand votes, they tried to hack the voting machines themselves. Election officials say that didn't happen, but I know in Pennsylvania, where I lived at the time, there were a lot of complaints about machines turning Clinton votes to Trump on the final screens before people pushed the vote button.

Lots of potential Clinton voters who had supported Obama in 2008 and 2012 didn't show up. Suppressed? Social media or robocalls? What was said to discourage them? And were the Russians the source of it?

All three of Trump's campaign managers were politically corrupt and manipulative scum bags, including Manafort, Lewandowski and Conway, who, in the Mueller investigation, had multiple direct contacts with the Russian spy Hayes mentions.
