    Refute this factual statement.

    I’ll wait.

    No one betrays their country with Russia on the scale Democrats have achieved for the last 70 years straight.

    Even granting that polling was shared, so what? The most obvious reason for it is Foreign Country A wants a heads up on who they will be dealing with.

    If a foreign country is seeking polling data to use it [how, exactly lol?] to swing a national election the size of ours—then they are rank idiots.

    The difference being Democrats blatantly lying to make it look like it was shared with a RUSSIAN SPY, to prop up their debunked collusion hoax...when it was actually just another foreign government asking why they should bother establishing ties with someone who CNN is telling them has a 99% chance of losing.

    Democrat lying made sharing the data necessary, and now Democrats respond by trying to fraudulently scandal-monger about their lies being corrected.

    THAT'S what's hilarious, dishonest demagogue.

    Next lie, please.

    Read the Mueller report, it’s all there. Trump is a grifter, a crook and a cheater.

Given how incessantly they use it to change the subject on such a wide variety of subjects, for so many years straight now, does this diversionary hoax constitute the greatest red herring of all time?

    Russian interference in our election is incontrovertible fact. I see some idiots are still in denial.
