A Couple of ZeroHedge “The Russians are NOT Coming” posts

Looks like the “The Russians did it” (or, “The Russians are Coming“) narrative is not working. Here’s a couple ZeroHedges that point out that it is all falling apart.

And about the so-called “Russia hacking”, remember, from this Kp blog post (this RT article) that hackers can leave “fingerprints” that point to various countries (“The CIA can hide its own fingerprints from its hacking exploits and attribute blame to others, such as Russia and China…”).

The second article displays a new slant… “Blame Obama for it.” What will they come up with next!

New Poll Shows Majority Of Americans Think Russia Probes Are “A Distraction”

“Last month, we reported on a poll showing most Americans don’t want to see President Donald Trump impeached. Today, a new poll released exclusively to the Hill shows that most Americans feel the investigations into alleged collusion between Russian officials and the Trump campaign are a distraction.

“The poll found that 64% of Americans believe the investigations are hurting the country, and a whopping 73% believe that the focus on Russia is distracting Congress from important issues like health care and tax reform.

“The poll is the latest indication that, despite the best efforts of the New York Times-CNN-Washington Post media cabal, Americans have not been swayed by the steady flow of unsourced allegations. The FBI’s probe allegedly began in July of 2016, meaning it’s been ongoing for a year now, and yet, nothing even resembling a smoking gun has been shared with the public, one of many of many conspicuous loose ends in the investigation narrative. “

Angry Dems Turn On Obama, Pelosi, Schumer: “Talk Less About Russia”

“…revelations that Russian hackers targeted voting systems in 21 states – and the Obama administration did nothing about it – have inspired the president’s fellow Democrats to turn on their once-revered leader… Democrats are criticizing no-drama Obama for being too cautious with his disclosures about “the Russia problem” in the run-up to the 2016 election, claiming that he shouldn’t have hesitated to inform the public about the allegations…

“…Ohio Democrat Tim Ryan, who recently challenged Pelosi for leadership of the party, is leading a small group of Congressional Dems in criticizing Chuck Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the Democratic leadership’s irrational focus on the Russia investigations. Ryan believes the focus on making the Dems appear out of touch to working Americans who care more about economic issues than the Trump witch hunt…

“So what’s next for the Dems? Obama, who has already pivoted from politician to social-media celebrity, will probably continue to chime in every now and then from the peanut gallery. Meanwhile, we wait to see if the DOJ or any other interested parties piggy-back on the Senate’s investigation into Lynch’s blatant attempt at obstruction, and wonder: Could this be the controversy that leads to the unraveling of the modern Democratic Party?”
