Robert Reich — Trump’s Russian Hand


WTF? Reich unhinges, too? I didn't realize these people were so mentally unstable. Sounds paranoid delusional to me. I don't think this is McCarthyism. It's severe cognitive-affect bias.
A dark cloud of illegitimacy hangs over the pending presidency of Donald Trump. Consider:

  1. The CIA has concluded that Russia intervened in the election in order to help Trump become president....
  2. Trump has close business ties to Russian oligarchs, friends of Putin, who have financed his projects and, presumably, also lent billions of dollars to Trump’s enterprises – which may explain why Trump won’t disclose his tax returns, which would show evidence of these deals.
  3. Several of Trump’s key campaign aides – including his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort – have close ties to Russia....
  4. During the campaign, Trump said he admired Putin, questioned whether the U.S. should continue to support NATO, and argued that Putin was justified in moving into Crimea.…
  5. Trump is expected to pick as his Secretary of State ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, who is also close to Putin.…
  6. Trump was defeated in the actual voting by a startling—and still growing—2,676,670 votes.
The dark cloud of illegitimacy continues to grow darker....

Before the Electors submit their ballots for president next week, Trump must release his tax returns and the CIA must make public its report on Russia’s intervention in the U.S. elections in support of Trump.

Last ditch efforts by the PTB to prevent Trump. I think a lot of these people will do what ever is necessary to stop it. It will be a miracle if he makes it to inauguration. They need enough people to buy into the narrative to justify install a mainstream DemoRepub party candidate.
