Remember the vehement Russia, Russia, Russia! Russia was controlling all media. Russia was doing all kinds of disinformation, attacks, etc., etc.
Meanwhile it was these guys and gals doing the heavy lifting for manipulation in concert.
Just imagine the 24x7 reporting we'd have gotten if Jared or whoever else in the Trump admin had lost a laptop will all kinds of incriminating emails and images... (oh, gosh, we can't verify the emails --yet when it's convenient they can verify emails attributed to people they don't like) They were even saying Hunter's deeds were Russian misinformation, they also told us Putin had Trump pee pee tapes... Well, we got Hunter with hookers... oh, yeah, yawn...
Now imagine of Pompeo went behind mr Heinz (Kerry) and talked to Germany or Russia to not sign an agreement... but when mr Heinz did that... oh, that's what former secretary of states do....
