Just in: Russian Dep Foreign Minister Rybakov says Russian government "almost" at a deal on getting back property seized by the US

from Russia, that is. Letting the world know that the US is going to allow espionage on its soil intended to sow chaos in its government.

Honestly, if Hillary won, would anyone even being talking about this? It's not Russia's fault that she neglected a couple states, thinking she was guaranteed them. It's not Russia's fault that she used the DNC to install herself as the candidate over Sanders. It's not Russia's fault Hillary actively alienated voters by calling them deplorables, while trotting out absurdly rich celebrity after absurdly rich celebrity talking about how they'll move to Canada if she loses. She was supposed to be the professional candidate, but she got sucked into attacking Trump more than presenting plans and stances on issues.

Choose a better candidate, run a better campaign. Obama had just gotten 332 electoral votes (26 more than Trump) just 4 years earlier.

Now am I saying Russia is innocent? No. But don't pretend Russia is the one who made Hillary lose. She did a pretty darn good job of that herself. The hissy fit of losing after being so assured of victory is what has sown chaos in the government.
