Chuck Todd to Bolton: "Do you think that the president is afraid to make Putin mad because maybe Putin did help him win the election & he doesn't want to make him mad for 2020?" It’s almost as if there wasn’t a Mueller investigation with this kind of narrative still being pushed.

Implication here is clear around Trump needing Putin to win elections, which is farcical. Yes, the Russians interfered, they always have. What’s invariably omitted is Rod Rosenstein’s conclusion that not to one vote was altered despite Russian “hacking,” an ambiguous term at best

And you think a relatively tiny amount (when compared to the amount spent by the respective campaigns) of Russian propaganda convinced even a handful Hillary voters to switch to Trump given the contrast, good luck with that.
