Russia’s political meddling
It is troubling to see the Republican presidential candidate say something one day and have to walk it back the next. Isn’t this exactly Hillary Clinton’s point about Donald Trump lacking the temperament to be commander in chief?
Why would our adversary Russia want a strong individual to lead this country; wouldn’t it be the other way around? So has a quid pro quo occurred? Trump promises to weaken NATO, recognize the Crimea as Russian territory and do the same to the Baltic states. Russia hacks e-mails to help Trump.
Also Trump’s former campaign manager received millions from Russian surrogates which are deposited in Cayman Island banks. Was the artful deal channeling the money to Trump to provide financing for his various ventures because American banks won’t? Is this the reason Trump won’t release his tax returns?
Are Fox News and the Clinton haters going to demand the Republicans hold congressional hearings to investigate whether their presidential candidate violated the Logan Act?
Will Sen. Lindsey Graham’s comment that “love of country will trump hatred of Hillary” ever come true? When pigs fly.
