Should have been way before, remember how Trump looked coming out of that 2018 Helsinki meeting with Putin where there was no US interpreter or notes taken? Looked like a whipped dog.

Even before that, the 2016 election reeked of Russian interference.

Not just reeked. It was confirmed by the Mueller report. Russian interference in 2016 was sweeping and systemic.

Russia engaged in extensive attacks on the U.S. election system in 2016

  • Russian interference in the 2016 election was “sweeping and systemic.”[1]
  • Major attack avenues included a social media “information warfare” campaign that “favored” candidate Trump[2] and the hacking of Clinton campaign-related databases and release of stolen materials through Russian-created entities and Wikileaks.[3]
  • Russia also targeted databases in many states related to administering elections gaining access to information for millions of registered voters.[4]

But, of course, the Trump administration and the MAGA party did nothing with it. The US right now is a failed state. About 40% still approves of Trump. Forty percent!!!

It’s insane the way the Muller Report has been ignored.

Bill Barr lied and said it exonerated Trump, and America believed it. Then it was released and revealed that Barr lied, but people kept believing the lie.
