Chris Matthews just about laid out the case against President Donald Trump as it pertains to Russia. It is just a matter of time.
“Justice is grinding its way to Donald Trump,” Chris Matthews said. “If he did not collude with Russia during the campaign, how do we exclude all the evidence that he did? How do we exclude this new information today that he personally got the GOP to change its platform regarding Ukraine? Why would an American politician find time in the midst of a presidential campaign on the very eve of the nominating convention to get involved with the geopolitics of Ukraine, specifically, Russia’s interest in Ukraine? Why would Trump’s top people, his son-in-law being one of them, be commissioning General Michael Flynn to tell the Russian ambassador what he wanted to be done in regard to US sanctions? What he wanted Russia to do with regard to Israel?”
Chris Matthews then goes into the meat of the Russia story.
“Russia! Russia! Russia!” Matthews continues. “It’s been the pattern of the year, an American presidential candidate, new to national politics focused again and again, on the interests of Russia. And now in December of his inaugural year, Donald Trump finds himself at war with the US government agency trying to get to the bottom of his Russian entanglement. General Flynn who went on to all those Trump missions to the Russians. He lies to the FBI about it, refusing to admit the nature of his missions. Trump then tries to get the FBI to stop investigating the general. Then fires the FBI director for not doing what he said he must do. This whole Fandango is about Trump and Russia and Trump trying to cover it up. And the most mystifying part of it all is the possibility that he Donald Trump was trying to do something good here, to end the US-Russian course toward a second Cold War. But if that is really the case, why doesn’t he just say so?”
Unfortunately, after making the perfect case against Trump, Matthews tries to make it an altruistic act gone wrong. Trump’s past behavior does not lend itself to the expression of some interest in an attempt to prevent a second cold war. It is more likely the Russia scandal had its genesis in either a Russia extortion for something they have dangling over Trump’s head or a money deal.
