Instead, Obama sought to enlist Republican congressional leaders to craft a joint statement with Democrats that would condemn Putins government.

The Obama folks did not want any public statement they made about what the Russians were doing to look partisan, Isikoff said, because they were afraid that Trump would use it for political effect. So their idea was, Well, if we can get Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan to sign on to a bipartisan statement, that might cushion the White House from any attacks made by Trump that Obama was trying to tilt the election in favor of Hillary Clinton.

McConnell refused to sign the joint statement, leaving Obama out on his own.

As he saw it, any statement along those lines would only feed the Clinton campaigns narrative, Isikoff said. His concern at that point was holding on to power in the Senate, so McConnell unquestionably takes some responsibility.

Because the Russian investigation is merely grandstanding from the left, and the deep state always planned on using Trump as their puppet in order to be a lightning rod while he passes legislation that they all support?

I'm not saying that I 100% believe that, but it wouldn't at all shock me. I'm not exactly a conspiracy theorist, but I am willing and able to entertain theories. Or in other words, "I wouldn't say that I'm superstitious, but I am a little stitious"-Michael Scott-BADoglick

So what are you saying


That the Russian meddling was allowed, or possibly even encouraged by the left. Evil republican Trump comes in to pass legislation that benefits the 1% at the expense of us, and then in 2020 they swoop in as 'saviors' coming to rectify the mess, but never actually reversing most of his policies.

The two parties are two wings of the same bird; everything else is a facade.

...that's largely what it would be, though. You can't do something like that without an impact on the election and it opens the door for fringe elements like Alex Jones to reinforce the claim that it was a false-flag attack meant to give Hillary an advantage.

Of course, it all makes sense now! The left unleashed a sinister, dastardly plan to encourage Russian interference so that they would lose power in all three branches of government! That makes complete sense!

Thank goodness Hillary didn't win (which she was favoured to) and the Republicans haven't actually safeguarded against more Russian meddling (which they absolutely could have) or this entire plan would have been for nothing! Truly this is brilliance of the highest order!

Who cares? Big powerful people will continue to do big powerful things and you can't change that. Why worry? Show up to vote, do your thing, then sit back and wait until the next election that you care about.

Well I clearly stated that I was playing devil's advocate and entertaining conspiracy theories.

My actual opinion is more along the lines of Hanlon's Razor.

Bipartisan condemnation of Russia should be pretty easy no?

It's like the one major thing Republicans split with Trump on

That isn't even a conspiracy theory, senators and house Republicans have explicitly in front of camera and in writing stated that they don't agree with everything the president doesn't but they like that he is enacting much of their agenda points.
