The attempted Clinton-CIA coup against Donald Trump

[Magda Hassan]

Oh look, here's why the Russians might think it was a good idea to begin gathering compromising material on Trump many years ago:

Czechoslovakia secret police file on Ivana says Trump felt he could win presidency in 1996

Except it is hardy a secret. Trump has been all over the media for decades being interviewed about the possibility of running for president. I remember seeing him on Oprah, iirc, years and years ago.

The real fallacy of the argument/story is that this happened 30 years ago, when the fawning, vodka-laced, US backed plunderer, Boris Yeltsin, was in placed in power by G H W Bush.

At that time the KGB and Russian military were selling every weapon and every secret file they could to the US and others --- and US intelligence had additionally also paid Yeltsin to allow American intelligence operatives go through the secret KGB archives and filet/remove those files that might've proved embarrassing to the US and NATO.

For me, this story is yet another in the growing muck pile that we've seen to date --- the Russians hacked the DNC email; the Russians hacked the US electric grid; the Russians supplied an MI6 operative with lurid and scandalous stories about Trump's alleged sexual proclivities. None of these fake news stories are backed by a shred of evidence.

It's all sheer journalistic flummery that is readily bought into by the wilful blind, the intellectually gullible and those who prefer scandal to facts because it suits their agenda.

I know that to be true about the US being the Kremlin archives. Heard it from an eye witness, impeccable credentials, who was there and saw it happening. Was astonished to say the least.

David, you forgot the story about the Russian submarine in Swedish waters and the leaking of the final episode of the BBC 'Sherlock'...
