Quincy: (And on a side note, even if Russian intelligence was in some way linked to the obviously-in-the-public-interest DNC leaks, that makes neither their leaking improper nor Wikileaks "Russian" per She Whose Candidacy Was Less a Campaign than a Two-Year Professional-Class Smugfest-Turned-Hissyfit. The phrase "Russian Wikileaks" is so manifestly jingoistic and blatantly wrong that it should have no place in serious discourse. That it does, anyway is a sad commentary on the nature of the self-dubbed "Resistance.")
The focus must stay squarely on Trump's statements and actions as a candidate and as president.
Repeatedly he encouraged Russia and wikileaks to hack our political systems. Repeatedly he has incited throngs of crazies to "lock her up" even as recently as two weeks ago at his Harrisburg CAMPAIGN RALLY (WTF???) Repeatedly he has used his soapbox to tweet lies like the one he spewed accusing Obama of illegally wiretapping him. Repeatedly he has defamed legitimate news outlets as being fake news. Repeatedly he spread conspiracy theories masquerading them as facts (he instigated the Obama birther movement). Repeatedly he has refused to allow due process to be our guiding principle (the muslim ban, the investigations into Russian involvement in our elections). Repeatedly he has rattled our intelligence community to the point of disfunction with insults and demoralizing critiques based on lies and innuendo. Repeatedly he has resisted transparency through blocking media access, denying access to his tax returns, etc.
He is a monstrous result of a perfect storm of so many things that I can't wrap my head around it well-enough to sum it up.
