4. I hate to think that Trump could be that stupid, but I suspect that you're right.

I usually think of espionage as collecting accurate information rather than distributing lies and phony documents. The damage is certainly similar either way and a democratic nation should be capable of protecting the integrity of its elections.

I recognize that in a way Assange is already locked up in that he is dodging the rape charges by hiding in an embassy. However, he continues to be free enough to play the lead role in this Russian operation. Something should be done, but I'm not clear as to what it should be.
