Why? Why all the Lies, Obfuscation, Denial, Misdirection? What is behind it All?   

DJT and Co. have engaged in a persistent, myriad campaign of diversion and delusion. Besides the fascinating denial of clearly verifiable events, situations, and statements, stands the Question: Why? The latest perversely entertaining parade of imaginary productions is the result of the catastrophic revelation of Trump Jr.’s disastrous decision to meet with a band of Russian troublemakers. ‘I Love It!’ he records in an e-mail to associates, when presented with an opportunity to meet with foreign agents to interfere with the U.S. Presidential Election.

I’m not a Lawyer, or Politician, or ridiculously wealthy Real Estate Developer, but even I, would think to check with Law Enforcement Officials if I were involved in a political campaign and received such a ludicrous invitation from Russian Agents.   

Aside from the profoundly stupid act in and of itself, as well as the subsequent documenting of potential criminality, comes the roaring circus of denial. From the lame-brained Collusion/Delusion word games played out on Television by an appropriately lame-brained spokesperson, to the White House Press briefing by an equally incoherent poser, to the President himself with the asinine comment; ‘Practically speaking…’,  says the President, in an attempt to what, sound intelligent? ‘I think anyone would have taken that meeting’. Yeah, anyone who’d like to be in prison. Jackass. Even Donnie Jr. expressed some regret, and stated he wished now, that he’d done differently then. Do they even talk, or listen to each other?

But behind it all lays, Why? Why is it that Pres. Trump consistently and often, refuses to acknowledge and confront this Russian Incursion into U.S. Democracy? Why is it he remains so chummy with the Russian Invader Putin? The dictator oligarch Vladimir Putin directed a complex scheme to infiltrate the sacred American Right of self- determination, and Mr. Trump wants to give him a pass.

Why would anyone do such a thing? One can’t help but wonder if the Russians possess some sort of severely salacious or perhaps even incriminating, information about the current U.S. President. I’m no fan of the G.O.P. but, I do appreciate the concept of Informed Dissent in our venerated Constitutional Republic. Any endorsement or participation to interfere with that Right, is Treasonous.
