“Don’t Forget—Trump’s
Biggest Problem Is Still Russia
His health care
humiliation is to be savored. But remember that what we learned this
week about Russiagate will have huge ramifications.
By Joy-Ann Reid
The lies of Trumpworld are
coming home to roost, and the walls are starting to close in.
The more new information
surfaces, the more inescapable it seems that “associates” of
Donald J. Trump, when he was a candidate for president, coordinated

reiterate multiple times to resistant Republican members of the House
Intelligence Committee, that the purpose of the Russian intervention
in our 2016 election was to help Donald Trump; not just for the kicks
of posting fake news on Reddit, Facebook and 4Chan.
The FBI is also believed
to be investigating at least four men associated with the Trump
campaign: longtime Trump whisperer Roger Stone, former Trump campaign
manager Paul Manafort (who is now under multiple
investigations; including potential money laundering related to shady
dealings in both Ukraine and Cyprus), and Trump national security
advisers Michael Flynn and Carter Page.
These are either a series
of incredible coincidences, or they’re evidence of a fairly large
plot by a group of Americans to collude with a hostile foreign power
to tip a U.S. election in their favor. It’s a modern-day Watergate
break-in layered over with what historian Douglas Brinkley has called
the “smell of treason.” … “
