Russia hacked US shit-storm dying fast death, real SS on the way.

[David Morris]

I don't blame Trump's win on Russia (I never said anything remotely like
that), but they DID do their best to help him via hacking.  And Trump is
clearly biased towards their interests, especially his forgiveness of the
Ukraine invasion and his animosity toward NATO.  It is very possible that
Trump's team colluded with Putin's thugs to try to influence the election.
If that happened it a more serious offense than Watergate ever came close
to being.  All of these things a serious and valid concerns.
