Dont ForgetTrumps Biggest Problem Is Still Russia
His health care humiliation is to be savored. But remember that what we learned this week about Russiagate will have huge ramifications.

The lies of Trumpworld are coming home to roost, and the walls are starting to close in.
The more new information surfaces, the more inescapable it seems that associates of Donald J. Trump, when he was a candidate for president, coordinated with Russian operatives or their cutouts to coordinate the release of information damaging to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Thats not just the Occams Razor explanation for the weird web of connections among Trump, his family, and people either connected to or from Russia. Its the gist of the FBI investigation that has made the 45th president unique in American history; a bizarre combination of Dick Nixon and Alger Hiss.
FBI director James Comey confirmed the investigation in an open congressional hearing this week. He and the director of the NSA went on to confirm, and to reiterate multiple times to resistant Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee, that the purpose of the Russian intervention in our 2016 election was to help Donald Trump; not just for the kicks of posting fake news on Reddit, Facebook and 4Chan.
The FBI is also believed to be investigating at least four men associated with the Trump campaign: longtime Trump whisperer Roger Stone, former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort (who is now under multiple investigations; including potential money laundering related to shady dealings in both Ukraine and Cyprus), and Trump national security advisers Michael Flynn and Carter Page.
These are either a series of incredible coincidences, or theyre evidence of a fairly large plot by a group of Americans to collude with a hostile foreign power to tip a U.S. election in their favor. Its a modern-day Watergate break-in layered over with what historian Douglas Brinkley has called the smell of treason.
