1. I think it's an operation started

during the Brezhnev years and revived and modified by Putin.

2. I think

It's 65% chance that Trump at the very least has some deep financial involvement with some Russian oligarchs close to Putin, and on the 35% percent chance it's not, we should still keep pushing the story anyways, because it's Karma for Trump peddling the birther bullshit for years and because it's time Democrats start getting down and dirty with the republicans and fight fire with fire, or in this case, a tsunami. Taking the moral high road doesn't work in the real world.

3. I chose "other". It's real but I suspect citizens must act

to force something gets done about it.

They just fired all 46 Obama appointed US Attorneys

Comey helped get Trump elected so we have no idea if the FBI is going to give this a fair shake or bury it like they did last fall.

Trump, Flynn. Pence, Spicer, etc. They're all flagrantly lying their heads off.

The evidence is massive and piling up:

Or watch Rachel Maddow's work on this story

I'm sure many folks could add to the above.


Michael Moore or others probably have more formulation of thoughts on what to do about this.

But unlike during Nixon's time, the GOP controls the House, Senate, Supreme Court soon and the Oval Office. If things were normal and proper, an independent counsel would have been appointed last fall or summer. So the help we might normally get to provide a check and balance is not coming any time soon.

Relentless media. Massive protests. Maybe a general strike are the sorts of things it's going to take. Even then, it might not be enough.

4. I don't know

What, beyond with tampering with voting machines, would constitute an impeachable offense?

I mean, there's all sorts of trash media out there from many sources, including Russia.

Now as far as to the "wny" of everything, I think that's where a ot of the meat will reside (i.e. the motive for the collusion)
