Trump took the attempted Republican distraction from his potential crimes with Putin and Russia to a new level by blaming his entire Russia scandal on Hillary Clinton.
The President tweeted:
It is now commonly agreed, after many months of COSTLY looking, that there was NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Was collusion with HC!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 27, 2017
As has become the daily norm, Trump’s tweet makes absolutely no sense. If Hillary Clinton was colluding with the Russians, why would she be working against her own campaign? The Russians were actively supporting Trump through the hacks of the DNC, state election systems, advertising, and propaganda. If Hillary Clinton was behind the scandal, why did Trump try to kill the Russia investigation and obstruct justice by firing James Comey? Why was Trump livid at Jeff Sessions when he recused himself?
There is no evidence of the Russian government doing anything to support Hillary Clinton, so why would Trump make a claim that is so blatantly and easily proven untrue?
The answer is that Trump and the Republican Party are trying to create a scandal equal to Trump’s to muddy the waters. Republicans can’t kill the Russia investigation, so they are going to try to bury it in a mountain of nonsensical Hillary Clinton allegations. Republicans and Trump also ignore that the dossier was first paid for by Jeb Bush (a Republican).
Trump is once again accusing Hillary Clinton of exactly what he did.
This tweet was the act of a desperate man. His secrets are soon to be revealed, and with his bag of tricks empty, time is running out on Trump.
