CIA Veterans Urge Caution on Leaks Saying Russia's Putin Tried to get Trump Elected

[Nevernose]

4. As I said in another thread (in LBN)

You're right: it's a distinction without a difference, although the motive might be relevant to historians. Assuming our descendants speak English and not Russian, obviously.

14. The circumstancial evidence is completely damning

Did Putin personally autograph Russia's actions? Send a thank you note to Trump? Of course not.

Did Russia hack both the RNC and the DNC, yet only release the DNC emails? Yes. Even the FBI (apparently) believes that.

Do Trump and Company have close personal and financial ties to the Russian government going back decades? Yes.

Did Trump immediately begin nominating entirely pro-Russian cabinet members? Yes.

Have Trump and his people defended Russia -- even threatened to break up NATO -- at every step of the way? Yes.

For any law enforcement agency or prosecutor in the world, this case wouldn't even be close. The only true unknown is the extent of TrumpCo's involvement.
