Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma continued his craven bootlicking in service to Donald Trump on Thursday by selling a brand-new Russiagate conspiracy concept to deflect from the president’s failure to launch the long-promised Epstein recordsdata.
“Russia’s objective was to have the ability to confuse all the pieces and all people. Russia was attempting to have the ability to pursue methods they may get into voting machines and within the secretaries of states’ workplaces as they have been actively doing that,” Lankford stated. “Russia was positively attempting to intrude in each side of the election. However Donald Trump didn’t rent a Russian group to attempt to intrude with the Hillary Clinton marketing campaign. Hillary Clinton employed a Russian group to attempt to intrude with Donald Trump.”
Did you catch all of that? In line with Lankford, Russia interfered with our election—however it was former Secretary of State Clinton, who was overtly hostile towards Vladimir Putin throughout her presidential marketing campaign, who conspired with Russia to undermine… her personal candidacy.
It appears Trump and his Republican minions are shifting their conspiracy concept smokescreen from President Barack Obama again to their favourite goal: Hillary Clinton, whom they’ve spent a long time obsessing over.

Sadly, Trump’s incoherent commerce wars and one other tax giveaway to the wealthy—aka the “One Large, Stunning Invoice”—which places tens of millions of People’ well being care at risk, are pushing voters away from the Republican Get together.
A recycled, baseless conspiracy concept is not prone to repair what Trump has damaged.
