Which makes much more sense as to why Trump won than a delusional Russian conspiracy theory...

• mikeyouse 6y ago
  The Russians hacked the emails - How is it then a conspiracy theory? These things are all facts: Trump asked the Russians to hack Hillary, and hours later they began probing the Clinton domains. Russian government hacked Podesta Russian government hacked the DNC Russian government gave those emails to Wikileaks to hurt Hillary / boost Trump and they were weaponized explicitly to do so (e.g. the Podesta release coming hours after the President was on tape bragging about grabbing women by the pussy) Russian businessmen, closely linked to the government spent millions of dollars on a social media campaign to boost Trump Trump's campaign took several meetings with Russians offering help with the election, including explicit meetings offered as "Part of the government's assistance to the Trump campaign" and then lied to the press and the government when asked about those meetings Trump's campaign manager gave private polling data to several Russians, including a probable spy Trump dangled pardons for his team if they didn't cooperate with the investigation Trump pardoned those people who didn't cooperate with the investigation Trump's team changed the entire GOP platform to be more friendly to Russia Trump's transition team took clandestine meetings to promise to remove sanctions that were in place for the above activity. Trump's son-in-law offered to take meetings in the Russian embassy to be out of range of US intelligence. So far as I can tell, the "Hoax" that people are adamant about refers to the Mueller finding where they couldn't prove that any of the above was coordinated - And it very well might not have been! - but to say that it was a hoax that Russia helped Trump win is so silly.
