Russians Wanted Hillary, Not Trump

Hillary Clinton’s Russia Collusion Scheme
Dec. 20, 2023 Wall Street Journal
Let’s clarify the basis of Milan Wall’s claim (Letters, Dec. 16) that Donald Trump “openly welcomed Russian assistance.” In 2016 candidate Trump made an obvious joke, that if Russia knew what happened to the 30,000 emails Hillary Clinton had deleted while she was under investigation, its help would be appreciated. That’s proof of something, but not of any scheme between Mr. Trump and the Russians.
There is ample proof, however, of another scheme. That would be the Clinton campaign’s scheme to create a dossier of doctored materials alleging a Trump-Russia link. Although federal agencies knew the partisan source, they used the material as an excuse for a multiyear snoop through President Trump’s activities—and found zilch. But the effort succeeded for long enough to flip the House in 2018 and launch further investigative schemes. Those unique efforts to abuse prosecutorial powers against Mr. Trump continue today.

Never mind the puppets, nail the marionetti$ts
The Russians like a KNOWN quantity, and both Clinton and Biden are KNOWN quantities. Is it so hard for Westerners to conceive of a nation that doesn’t invade other countries on a whim, start proxy wars on a whim, basically function on a whim? I see Russia as deliberate in their foreign policy, and we could use some deliberation, both abroad and domestically.
