Let me see if I got this right. For the past two years, we've been hearing incessantly that "Russia meddled in our democracy" - not just from Democrats who originated it, but from idiot Republicans who very much miss the Cold War. (thread)
Democrats claim that Russia meddled because it wanted Trump to win over Hillary Clinton. But the chief source for "Trump's Kremlin ties" claim is the Steele Dossier, which was entirely bought and paid for by Clinton's campaign, using Perkins Coie and the DNC as cut-outs.
Republicans agree that Russia meddled, but say it was to "sow chaos" because Putin Bad, and this gives them an excuse to perpetuate the Empire. They figure Trump will eventually leave, but their racket is forever.
The #Russiagate narrative has been good for many a grifter, from the Mensch crowd on Twitter and cable news pundits to "cyber experts" like Hamilton68 and its Democrat-Neocon advisory board.
But Hamilton68 was co-founded by New Knowledge CEO, who turns out to be behind a deliberate Democrat campaign to meddle in the 2017 Alabama Senate election - and blame it on Russia!
And THIS is the outfit Senators Burr and Warner picked to write the report on "Russian meddling" for the Senate Intelligence Committee!
In sum, the only "proof" of Trump's Kremlin ties is a dossier paid for by Hillary, and the only "proof" of Russian meddling comes from Democrats who actually meddled, then tried to blame it on Russia. See the pattern?
