Years from now this period of time, which I’ll call “T-time” (T as in Tornado) to give it a name, will be covered ad nauseum in books by insiders.  For now we’re getting the outsider view.  Peeks through the windows with each article that begins to flesh out a reality that belongs in a spy novel.

Yesterday there was this article about Guccifer 2.0 being a Russian operative.  Guccifer 2.0, to give a brief recap, was the individual who breached the DNC and provided all those emails to WikiLeaks that were disseminated to the voting public.  Emails, if you recall, that didn’t exactly put Hillary Clinton’s campaign in a favorable light.

The day before that article there was this article where the former director of the CIA, John O. Brennan, speculated that Russia may have something on Donald Trump.

Brennan is not the first one to think this.  To back up a second, let’s look at some of the things that Russia has done to us recently.

Hacked our election.

Hacked our power grid.

Tried to sow division and discord with every news cycle (below are a few).

And what does the leader of our country do?

He congratulates the man responsible.

Not exactly the action most of us were hoping for.  Generally leaders are supposed to protect who they lead.  Make sure that if someone messes with us they don’t get a free pass.  Or two.  Or three.  Or nine hundred and ten and counting.

Which does beg the question.  What do they have on you, Mr. President?

Could it have anything to do with this (financial ties to Russia)?

Is it something to do with questionable real estate deals (possible money laundering)?

Or is it this (pee tape)?

Guess we’ll have to wait.

Truth does come out sooner or later.  It has a way of doing that.
