Now they are changing the purpose of Russian interference from being against Hillary' for Trump to

just trying to dow dissension among the electorate and discord in our election system.

Don't believe it for one minute. It was all about electing Trump and giving Russia almost total control of our government.

This change in focus must be because they are really getting close to irrefutable evidence of Russian interference and collusion.
They change the focus all they want to. Trump needs to understand that he is an illegitimate President and would never have been elected in a fair and unfettered election. Never without Russia and Wikileaks help.

Why did they say they won't be releasing the adds? Supposedly we have already seen them. What's the harm in releasing them?

to get the sanctions lifted and create great disarray in our government and great demoralization of our people.

But the notion that it would give Russia "almost total control of our government?" Not even close. Put knows that even if he didn't have 12 years of mandatory education in the U.S.

Even if Putin had replaced Rump's defective brain with a computer he controlled, Russia would not have "total control" even of the executive branch because the powers of the presidency are defined by a strong system of laws. We are SEEING that at work.

And side from that, remember our three branches of government and system of checks and balances? We are SEEING those at work.

I'm afraid I don't even believe that Trump needs to understand anything at all. (Good thing for us!) He's a silly tool of our real enemies, by far the most dangerous ones not Russia at all but subversives right here at home.
