Blake Hounshell at Politico Magazine published “Confessions of a Russiagate Skeptic” recently, in an attempt, perhaps, to excuse his failure to take seriously the threat that Trump could have conspired with Russia. HIs reasoning: I keep coming back to the slapdash nature of Trump’s 2016 operation, and the chaos and dysfunction that everyone who covered that campaign saw play out each day. Like the Trump White House, the Trump campaign was a viper’s nest of incompetence and intrigue, with aides leaking viciously against one another almost daily. So much damaging information poured out of Trump Tower that it’s hard to believe a conspiracy to collude with Moscow to win the election never went public. If there was such a conspiracy, it must have been a very closely guarded secret. Then there’s the Trump factor to consider. Here’s a man who seems to share every thought that enters his head, almost as soon as he enters it. He loves nothing more than to brag about himself, and he’s proven remarkably indiscreet in the phone calls he makes with “friends” during his Executive Time—friends who promptly share the contents of those conversations with D.C. reporters. If Trump had cooked up a scheme to provide some favor to Putin in exchange for his election, wouldn’t he be tempted to boast about it to someone? Just like he bragged about paying off Stormy Daniels? Or publicly discussed his mob connections? The same media now wringing their hands over missing the obvious Russian connections loudly touted every false claim in Clinton Cash without a qualm. And they are compounding their error by assuming that the know-nothing, loudmouthed braggart currently occupying the Oval Office is simply incapable of conspiring with Russia and keeping quiet about it. Bullshit. Just because he lacks knowledge and ability in one area does not mean he cannot competently keep his mouth shut while participating in a criminal enterprise. Read more
