Russia Hacked the Election; in my humble opinion, a narrative (excuse) hastily constructed on the night of an unexpected election loss for Hillary Clinton & Co. If you like, the political version of the dog ate my homework Miss, an excuse that found immediate traction, and then became a useful tool of mass distraction, and more worryingly, actual danger.

Everywhere we look, we now hear of Russian aggression and interference. Russian aggression? I remember Reagan’s cold-war ending promise to Gorbachev; NATO will never expand East beyond Germany, well, except for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Turkey, Montenegro and Ukraine. Russian aggression? Russian fighter jets buzzing F16’s over the Black Sea, a sea bordered by exactly how many US States? Russian aggression? I could go on.

Would Russia discreetly interfere in an election if they thought they could benefit? Hell Yes. But if we’re looking for an almost perfect example of projection, then perhaps Russia Hacked the Election is it. Remember Clinton and Yeltsin? Nothing to see here, move along.

Has Trump ever had dirty dealings with Russians? He’s a NY property developer, what do you think? Could Russia, and by default Putin, have dirt on Trump? Given Trump’s known history and colourful lifestyle then I’d be very surprised if along with every other world government, they didn’t have filing cabinets full of rakable dirt.

Will Muller find a prosecutable case against Trump? Possibly, but whilst it might involve money laundering, I very much doubt it will have anything to do with Russia trying to swing an election in his favour.

I could be wrong, but in the meantime, I live in fear that one of these out of control egomaniacs is going to try and prove that his BUTTON is biggest.
