(28,340 posts)I think he forgot, he can't just throw a bunch of stupid red hats at the intelligence agencies and tell them how great he is. Those people are the genuine article, and it scares him to death.
How long till we find out how much Donald knew, when he knew it, and how involved he and/or his campaign was?

While as a clueless hateful a-hole can do great damage to the US, a precision strike can do far more.
Even the Russians know the possible blowback from interfering in an election of a more powerful nation is a pretty high risk for an adversary to undertake.
Putin rose from the ashes of the USSR. Only the most ruthless, and calculating of SOB's could accomplish something on that scale. I believe that someone like that would risk the possible repercussions if the rewards outweighed the risks.
Trump would be of little use if he was not controllable, and the only way to control a bully is through that bully's greatest fears. I'm very sure the Russians have something on him, and my guess is that it's monetary. It is also my belief that he would rather die, and take the rest of us with him, to avoid being just another average joe.

(9,899 posts)If it's treason, and objectively it smells like it to me, even an idiot like Trump knows his life in on the line.
If treason is the case, Trump will be "all in". I cannot see Trump caring one wit about anyone or anything other then himself. Even a rat is dangerous when cornered, and this asshole has launch codes.
