    Someone on TPM please help me understand. This is serious, but will it tend to deflect blame away from Trump and his cadre? By charging Russians, highlighting that they were staging demonstrations in favor of and against Trump, and that no Americans WILLINGLY participated in this fraud, PLEASE DON"T TELL ME THAT THIS ABSOLVES TRUMP and the GOP.
