20. kick. It's that important. This thread shouldn't sink at DU...hard to keep the Russia election hack

in the MSM spotlight constantly, but it should keep going here, every day.

The article talks about Trump's lawyer's flimsy alibi and apparent lies meant to convince everyone that he couldn't have left the country to pay off the Russian hacker alleged to have ALTERED THE ELECTION. This article (one of four in this series re Russia)l shows that he COULD have...and that, astonishingly, he hasn't presented any convincing evidence that he couldn't have in order to dispel suspicions. It is still an open question.

This is more important than Flynn's call (though related), more important than lies about rallies and margins of victory, more important about mere financial conflicts of interest...because it calls into question not only Trump's allegiances/vulnerabilities but also his election in the first place. There is no bigger, more complicated, messier, smokier issue out there that has the potential to change everything if it catches fire.

If it stays ugly and smokey and contained, a few people like Flynn and Trump's attorney get thrown under the bus. if the bus catches fire...everyone goes.
