I think we just keep to keep asking:
"Okay, what do we know?" (Besides everything bad?)
And we know plenty. There's quite a list of KEY players in the trump inner circle - either back during the campaign or up til and including now - who have had some or a lot of contact with the Russians. Ambassadors, political operatives, oligarchs and high-rollers, money-launderers and financiers, society friends, real estate wheeler-dealers, media manipulators, messengers and assorted go-betweens, Putin insiders, the Ukrainians, hookers, RT people, one gadabout daughter and her wannabe-heavyweight husband, and at least one loose-lipped son.
I'm sorry - but there's just too much. And too many. It's just too doggone fishy. Or "hinky," as Al Franken recently put it.
It struck me in the midst of the Sessions mess - so much in the media (especially Pox and other "fake news" outlets) is making an earnest effort to frame him as though his Russian misadventures were some sort of isolated incident. But that approach ignores the MULTITUDES of other kinds of Russian connections swirling around this extra-large trump toilet bowl. Ol' Jefferson Sessions is just another brick in the wall - a wall that stretches for miles. He's just one face and name in a cast of what looks increasingly like thousands.
This is just too fishy. It's smelled that way to me ever since last summer - when it just struck me odd, all of a sudden, that all these damn leaks and Wikileaks releases and hacked emails WERE ALL TARGETING DEMOCRATS. Either at the party level, or individuals like John Podesta and, yes, Hillary Clinton. It just suddenly struck me as awfully fishy. I even tweeted every media person, pundit, and talking head about it. Nothing. Only NOW has it finally crossed anybody's mind among professional journalists that there's something REALLY FISHY here, and simple dismissals that it's just coincidence or everybody does it or "senators meet with those people all the time".
I suspect I know why President Obama kept this under wraps. He's the guy famous for being a master of "three-dimensional chess," after all. I'm sure he knew if his White House exposed this scandal before the election, it would be denounced everywhere as politicizing the election and trying to exert undue influence. Pox Noise, hate radio, Breitbart Inc., and all the talking CON-heads at every affiliate and network would all carry the same ball about it to viewers and listeners far and wide. The true message would be lost while everybody was arguing about reckless partisan politicians dancing on heads of pins. And the non-slanted media, ever wishing "to be fair" would take the bait and give those ridiculous rabbit hole trips round-the-clock attention. The Sturm und Drang would drown out the message. And by Election Day everybody'd already grown tired of it and moved on.
So what's the next best move? Leave lots of bread crumbs where those most strategically in the know would be able to find them. Or maybe leave a lot of little trap doors around - for people to fall through, when they think they've won and their vision becomes clouded by power, ambition, and greed.
