Why is Donald Trump so fearful of the Russia investigation? Why has he not wanted to do...what any decent president would do...and that is to get to the bottom of this issue so that Russia - or any other foreign country - could never stick their noses where they don't belong. That being...in America's elections.
Instead of being infuriated with Russia, Trump continues to throw tantrum after tantrum as he chastises the U.S. media, the FBI, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and anyone else who wants answers about Russia and their illegal involvement with the 2016 presidential election between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
There is no logical reason that Trump isn't livid towards Vladimir Putin and the Russians. Unless - as I wrote in several columns in 2016 and 2017 - Trump is "in bed," metaphorically speaking, with Putin. Otherwise...why has Trump not moved mountains so that such interference in our democracy never happens again?
It's mind-boggling that on Friday, February 16th, 2018...Donald Trump wasn't doing cartwheels - again, metaphorically speaking - on The White House south lawn after learning that thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian entities had been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of allegedly meddling in our 2016 election and conspiracy to defraud the United States. The defendants are also accused of supporting the Trump Campaign and "disparaging" Hillary Clinton.
The indictment states that "Some defendants, posing as U.S. persons and without revealing their Russian association, communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities." And Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein says, "The defendants allegedly conducted what they called 'information warfare against the United States,' with the stated goal of spreading distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general."
For quite some time, the U.S. intelligence community has categorically claimed that Russia interfered with our election. And now...there's irrefutable proof. Trump can no longer call the Russia probe "a hoax," "a witch-hunt" or "fake news." Trump needs to acknowledge the facts...and admit this is not fiction.
As for allegations by a vast amount of Americans nationwide who believe Donald Trump and his campaign participated in a conspiracy to collude with Russia...Trump tweeted on February 16th..."The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong - no collusion." Later that afternoon, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a printed statement on behalf of Trump that indicated...with the following uppercase letters...that "there was NO COLLUSION between the Trump campaign and Russia, and that the outcome of the election was not changed or affected."
The next day - Saturday, February 17th - Trump used the murders of fourteen teenage students and three teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida to attack the entire Federal Bureau of Investigation. "Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign - there is no collusion." Does Trump have no decency, no consideration at all? Of course we know he doesn't...as has been evident through his words and actions since announcing his candidacy more than two-and-a-half years ago. But to use the victims of a mass murder as a way to do anything to distract from the Russia investigation is downright disgraceful and it sickens me.
Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein says..."There is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity" or that what the Russians achieved...affected the outcome of the 2016 election. My response to Mr. Rosenstein is this. That remains to be seen.
Just prior to indicting any of Trump's advisers, aides, and anyone else who was associated with the Trump campaign or has been connected with the Trump administration...Special Counsel Mueller needs to make like Monty Hall and "make a deal." Give him every shred of information that may implicate Trump and/or his right-hand henchmen in a conspiracy to collude with Russia...as well as sworn testimony that Trump fired James Comey as FBI Director, solely to put a stop to the Russia investigation - which is what Trump told NBC News anchor Lester Holt in a nationally televised interview - thus proving obstruction of justice...and then...those who throw Trump under the bus...will get off with much lighter prison sentences...or none at all.
In his oath of office on January 20th, 2017...Donald Trump swore to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." So why won't he do whatever is necessary to protect America from Russia interfering with our elections in the future?
Donald Trump will never show an ounce of enthusiasm towards the Russia probe...especially when there is ironclad evidence that Russia meddled with our election. His narcissism won't allow it as - in his mind - it would reduce the validity of his victory against Hillary Clinton.
That being said...there is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is hiding what he knows about Russia and the 2016 U.S. presidential election because he - and his senior sidekicks...among others - have got to be involved, in some way, with the Russians. If Trump was not involved in either conspiracy to collude with Russia or, at the very least, a cover-up...then what is he so afraid of?
