17. Early on it seemed the Russia hypothesis was a trolled smokescreen from Republicans.

Just like the trolls were the first ones to sow discord between the Berners and the Hillary crowd and to push the rigged primaries nonsense. The conspiracy was well-coordinated, that's for sure, not some rogue Republican op.

I would place my bets today on the Trump campaign operating by working from Russia to avoid law enforcement in the USA. That means Manafort and Stone ran the op. Their hired hackers knew how to use Russian servers to avoid being identified. Trump's secret server connection to Russia may be the channel of communication they used. The Russians may have evidence we can't get to. Which Manafort associates were in Russia at the time?

This is the sort of operation that fits Roger Stone like a glove!
