What really stands out in this entire matter, and raises questions about the distinct possibility of some kind of voter manipulation, is the fact that Trump somehow managed to win in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin that almost all major polls had Clinton winning fairly handily. How could he walk off with wins in all three of these states that he supposedly was almost certain to lose? Shades of the Bush/Gore election fiasco.
What we may be seeing here is the beginning of a very rocky, extremely combative relationship between Trump and the CIA as well as various other government agencies when he tries to impose his will on them. He will go up against deeply embedded very powerful high level officials who are used to having things their way. In the future, we may be watching an irresistible force going up against an immovable object; and if that happens then there will be no winners and this country and its people will be the big losers.
Based on everything I've heard so far I really think that the CIA and the FBI will present concrete proof that Russia did exactly what they have been accused of doing. I just don't think that these agencies would have made such explicit accusations and then fail to produce evidence to support their contentions. If they did it would greatly damage their reputations.
So how is all this going to turn out? The CIA must, of course, present whatever evidence it possesses before long. Was Russia directly involved, did Trump, and/or his advisers play any role in this matter? The future of Trump's presidency largely hinges on what happens next. If nothing else, a lot of questions will certainly be raised about Trump's staunch defense of Russia and Putin and his loyalty to his own country, America.
Stay tuned for the latest chapter in this highly complex, very troubling situation.
