NYT reported last night that, “Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.”
The fact that Russia interfered with the election process has been known since last year (before November’s election), the information was verified and released in January. What is not known is the level of involvement of DT and his cronies. Did they know during the election Russia was interfering? If so, did they care? DT supporters don’t seem to care that Russia hacked our politicians’ emails and that they planted stories/propaganda to help sway the outcomes of our election. Why not?
I, for one, am very uncomfortable with DT’s chumminess with Putin and have lots of suspicions about his and his administrations relationship with Russia–looking at you Rex. Tillerson headed up Exonn Mobile’s Russian operations—No conflict of interest there (insert heavy dose of sarcasm). Let’s not lose sight though–it seems like many in DT’s cabinet are tied to Russia and may be in Putin’s pocket.
This election, this Presidency—and how we react will set precedence for the future. Tolerating lies, dishonestly, election tapering from a foreign country—accepting chaos and everything that is this $*** show means we accept it. Now is the time–#RESIST #THISISNOTNORMAL
