The Russian hacking of the 2016 elections was known by US national Intelligence since January 6th, shortly after New Years, 2017. I remember news reports stating that because of the investigation into the DNC hacking. Yet, today July 18, 2018 the American people need to be reminded of that fact.

There is some really sad propaganda that comes out of Fox News on a regular basis. One of the blurred lines about that is the idea Trump would still be president if the Russian hackers were not at work, They hold tightly to the fact there were no votes changed in any of the states without cyber -security such Illinois. 

That is true, HOWEVER, Fox News conveniently forgets about the Facebook Factor. See, the issue with Comey as the frosting on the cake would not have had the same impact if all the lies and deceptions and false news of Facebook hadn’t done all that initial work, That initial work was by the Russians. So it is not just the vote count that mattered even after security breaches, it was the momentum of all the false stories that took a toll on the Clinton campaign.

In my opinion, the wrong person is in the Oval Office and Trump knows. If it weren’t for the entirety of the Russian meddling the Clinton victory would have been admirable. No one will change my mind.

The fact Donald Trump is operating way outside standard protocols and simple decency and patriotic loyalty to the USA, is all him. He has no one else to blame. Russia has something on him and it was his own doing. Unfortunately for the country, it is being lead by a man unable and unwilling to govern and only now when treason is showing through with threats to ambassadors do people realize how dangerous he is.

The Mueller Investigation has to reach completion.
