text: Goes a long way to explain this inexplicably moronic (and what I believe ultimately counter-productive to the Democrats) 'Russian conspiracy' campaign.
  
  The issue was concocted out of whole cloth, not primarily to smear Trump, but to provide cover (and justification) for trying to Subvert the election campaign by a high level orchestrated strategy of criminal actions.
  
  Problem is - they lost anyways, and now they are stuck with the meme. BECAUSE without a 'Russian' bogeyman, they ultimately can not keep a lid on the massively explosive evidence out there.
  
  Ain't hubris wonderful.
  
  And now, a fight to the death, for the Democratic Party!!!!!!
