I’m not generally a conspiracist thinking that instead most systems are initially set up to mistakenly justify being operated by elites and gradually devolve into domination that must then eventually be transformed by a paradigm change. However, knowing that Russia is an adversary and autocratic/kleptocratic society of long historic pedigree it is perfectly reasonable, giving the evidence, to assume that this is a conspiracy to destroy our democracy. Our democracy of course has its own problems, but the current much more scary and deadly potentialities merit a thorough moral and legal cleansing. And this is why I’m hoping and confident that Mueller is not playing “small ball”.
