Okay, look. This is the biggest damn news to come down the pipeline in the last four years. The Senate report on their investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 election.
It provided a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government disrupted an American election to help Mr. Trump become president, Russian intelligence services viewed members of the Trump campaign as easily manipulated, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers were eager for the help from an American adversary.
For starters, at least *some* the Republicans on this panel knew *some* of the stuff in this report and they still voted to keep Trump in office. Marco Rubio, you are dead to me.
Second, why now? I think it’s because the Democratic convention is proving that Democrats know how to react, adjust, and be successful. Republican knew their convention, exactly like the Texas Republican convention, is going to be a last minute mishmash of secret meetings and horrible production.
Being able to react, adjust, and be successful are exactly the traits that Republicans do not have in their toolbox. Democrats have proven that they can.
What better time to roll this sucker out than during the Democratic convention? The convention is eating all the headlines and social media attention.
You got a theory ?
