Russians interfering in the 2016 U.S. election not only went after Hillary Clinton, they also tried to disrupt Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, which leads to only one conclusion:
Putin has Trump’s balls in his pocket.
“No doubt they have something on Trump and can blackmail him to do their bidding,” said a source who has been to the White House and has seen both the “Nunes memo” and the so-called Democrats’ memo, which refutes information in the letter written by Republican Rep. Devin Nunes and declassified by Trump earlier this month. Trump then refused to declassify and release the Democratic memo.
Russian operatives using social media and other devices to disrupt the U.S. presidential election have long been reported as trying to attack and discredit Democratic candidate Clinton, but their actions also against Cruz and Rubio — and to the conspicuous exclusion of Trump — are made clear in the Democratic memo, according to the source, who requests anonymity and who described the Democratic memo as utterly destroying the Nunes memo.
Special prosecutor Robert Mueller this week indicted 13 Russians for their efforts to aid the Trump campaign.
