Common hatred of HRC has made strange bedfellows of former enemies.
All three of this unholy alliance wanted Clinton defeated. Russia, who possibly supplied the fleas, also wanted Clinton defeated. Did Russia, through intermidiaries, supply the emails to Assange: it makes sense but at this point, it is best to keep and open mind, a position under attack by those swarming with fleas.
Thus, Trump shows he has no permanent friends (or enemies) and now uses the man he called disgraceful and suited for execution his credible source to deny the Russian election help he openly asked for.
Trump has made such reversals many times:
When he said "NATO is obsolete," he talked to the Pentagon and returned to say :"I am a big fan of NATO."
When he said he would maintain a "neutrality" in the Israel/Palestine conflict, he then received 25 milliion from Adelson, he suddenly shifted to supporting the most extreme Israeli right wing position, viewing the Palestinians as pests and best dealt with by pushing them aside in a program of gradual genocide.
A man who will reverse course so suddenly, whether because money or the need to convert a traitor into a hero to back up his claim that, despite having asked Russia to intervene, he has the leaker's word that "It was not Russia."
We have heard such assertions before, as when the CIA claims it had no part in the assassination of Allende or JFK. Covert operations use the tactic of deniability, build on disassociation. The CIA did not murder Kennedy; Oswald, a Marxist malcontent did. Thus, dark operations are kept dark.
So today, Trump, Assange, and part of the progressives have all lain down together to denounce Clinton and the intelligence agencies which support her claims of Russian intervention. Trump, when he turns on Assange and his leftist apologists, will flick off the fleas but they will live a long time in those who now have joined in his ultimate claim to legitimacy.
Many progressives and right wingers have denounced me (calling me a fool and a CIA plant) for arguing that it makes perfect sense for Russia to do what they can to defeat Clinton, thus drawing in Wikileaks, with its open hatred of Clinton, and the many progressives who hate her. I hate her too. But climbing in bed with Trump will both offer him support and weaken the movement to end his tyranny.
There is so much hatred
,mostly directed at Clinton (whom I see as a beaten horse, no longer relevant), that it has diverted the opposition to Trump, empowering him to increase his hold over both the state and the media, while taming the very forces that should be most strongly exposing his scams and lies.
The divisive Who Done It fight masks a deeper danger: that the resistance to tyranny will be co-opted by a temporary alliance, which Trump the realpolitiker will dump like a quick f*ck, and move on to stirring up more division in the realpolitik strategy of divide, conquer, and loot.
