This is the most important news so far out of the Comey book: Trump, as president-elect, didn't give a damn about the Russian attack on the US and was unconcerned about preventing a repeat. That is a profound dereliction of duty.MORE:

(81,298 posts)OF COURSE trump wouldn't be concerned about it, or view it as some terrible problem to guard against with everything we've got so it doesn't happen again.
Why? Because he benefited from it!!! He PERSONALLY benefited from it. He stole the White House with the help of all his little Russki friends and cohorts, and everything worked out fine and dandy for him. And OF COURSE his CON friends throughout Capitol Hill are doing NOTHING whatsoever to make sure it doesn't happen again! OF COURSE!!! Why? Because they're hoping to get help AGAIN this November. They're hoping those old tricks still work so they can somehow hold onto the House and maybe make all this just somehow go away. They're probably even more desperate now, considering how bleak their prospects look for the midterm elections.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again (and again, and again, and ... ):
The ONLY way the CONS can win is IF THEY CHEAT.

(6,916 posts)"Had no impact on the vote" this is CLEARLY FALSE. Via suppression and hacking people's minds, and opinions, via propaganda, the Russians and GOP social media had a huge impact on the vote.
"Did not change any votes". Several FBI and IC spokesmen have now said this is true. They have no evidence that machines were hacked and votes changed. Until we have evidence, I think we need to conclude this is true. (Mike Farb is not evidence, the best that can be said is he is a shitty, shitty statistician, and he gets worse from there.)

(10,128 posts)The revelation to trump was that it was being addressed out in the open, by the head of an intelligence agency. The wheels began turn and to deflect on getting caught. Turns out, he started by firing the guy who addressed it. That is exactly how Dolt operates. Just get rid of anyone who gets close to the truth. Fire them, pay them, or bring them into the fold if they are corrupt.
