What if....

The Kremlin knew they could hack into our elections.
They knew they had been grooming trump as an asset for years.
They first stole the Primary elections away from other republicans...giving trump the nomination.
Then they hacked the General.
Two things I don't believe. I don't believe that Russia didn't hack the vote count and I don't believe June was first contact.
One thing I do believe is that we will never know the extent of this hack.

Or maybe you didn't mean that.

Still, I don't think the people will be told everything.

Some in government always seem to think we're too weak to know the full truth.

"They first stole the Primary elections away from other republicans...giving trump the nomination."

I've thought about this before and have wondered why his opponents haven't come to this conclusion and aren't furious enough to wreak revenge.
