Election meddling

Now that the proverbial dust has somewhat settled pending the final release of the Mueller report, I’m prepared to post a few thoughts.

The president parsed his words carefully. He did not say he believed Putin when Putin said Russian did not meddle.

I believe that based on what I have seen and heard that there was meddling either directly by the Russian government or by organizationa financed and directed by the Russian government.

I do not be,Ive based on what I have seen and heard SO FAR (there may be more to come) that there was collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

IF the goal of the Russian government was to elect the president the last thing the Russian government would do if create a paper trail of collusion which if exposed would undo their goal assuming they had a goal and it was achieved.

The most important thing we should have all learned by now is that it is crucial that a system be in place to prevent election meddling by anyone (foreign governments, their subcontractors, citizens, nutkobs, candidates and anyone or anything else.

One would suspect a goal of the meddlers would have been disarray and finger pointing in the United States among ourselves. We must show them their failure by unifying and preventing a repeat or worse.
