- The "Russia Investigation" started decades ago; Russia's Kamikaze attack on U.S. democracy was recent and required more resources.

- Trump & Co. didn't get "caught up in it." They actively worked with Russia and other enemies for personal gain.
- The GOP and a wealthy elite hoping to gain from Trump's weakening of U.S. democracy covered up for the conspiracy by spreading disinformation and attacking patriotic truth tellers.

- Whether by ignorance, professional jealousy, or compromise, US media helped their efforts.
- The evidence of the Russian attack, GOP complicity, and critical media assistance is now inescapable. Malefactors will be held accountable.

- Further attempts at disinformation will be far less effective as revelations and criminal charges reveal the ugly truth.
- The United States and its allies must rectify this national security emergency by applying criminal statutes to individuals, holding corporate conspirators to account, impeaching public officials who aided and abetted this attack, and repairing alliances.
