Why Would Putin Need Trump? He Already Has Democrats on His Side
By: Bernard Kerik
It is the democrats that Putin is using to disrupt American democracy and cause discord here. Democrats, not Trump are the party of dictatorship.

Vladimir Putin couldn’t hope for a better ally than the Democrat Party — obsessed with impeachment, the Democrats have done more to undermine our democracy than the Kremlin ever could.
For the past three years, Donald Trump’s political opponents have made it their primary mission to overturn the result of the 2016 election, vowing to remove the president from office “ by any means necessary .”
Their crusade started with a lengthy investigation into the Trump Campaign that sought to uncover evidence of “collusion” between Donald Trump’s aides and Russian officials. The Democrats were certain that their team of biased investigators led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller would give them the ammunition they needed to impeach the president — and, as an added bonus, galvanize public hostility toward Russia in the process.
But after two years, more than 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants, and 500 witness interviews, Mueller’s long-awaited “bombshell” was that there wasn’t any collusion with Russia.
The Democrats were crestfallen, but they soon came up with another plan. This time, they would use an alleged partisan operative posing as a concerned “whistleblower” to accuse President Trump of colluding with another Eastern European country, Ukraine, despite the fact that they had even less evidence to substantiate this outrageous claim than they did for the Russiagate hoax.
Make no mistake, the ongoing impeachment inquisition is taking a severe toll on our democratic institutions. By weaponizing and politicizing impeachment, the Democrat Party has turned a grave constitutional process into a partisan game that threatens to permanently divide the entire country.
To make matters worse, some Democrats are now waging war against the Electoral College, seeking to delegitimize that sacred constitutional process because they think it will benefit their party politically.
Former National Security Council staffer Fiona Hill — whom the Democrats expected to be a star witness during a recent impeachment hearing — even admitted that Hillary Clinton’s repeated criticism of the Electoral College helps Russia spread disinformation about the U.S.
When asked if Clinton’s remarks about the 2016 election “play into [Putin’s] narrative ... that our elections are somehow rigged and shouldn’t be trusted,” Hill replied with a resounding “yes.”
Of course, every Russia expert knows that our longtime rival has consistently sought to undermine the U.S. government and interfere with our elections throughout the past century. Putin has routinely criticized American elections for both propaganda purposes and diplomatic leverage, arguing that the U.S. is not a genuinely democratic country. “There is no true democracy there,” he said in 2014, using the Electoral College to underscore his point.
The one thing that neither Putin nor the Democrats ever acknowledge, though, is that the Electoral College actually makes it harder for foreign governments to influence U.S. elections. As President Trump likes to point out , it’s much easier to compete for a simple majority of the nationwide vote than to craft — and effectively communicate — a message that appeals to enough people in enough places to deliver an Electoral College victory.
To the mountains of evidence debunking the left’s conspiracy theories about President Trump’s non-existent link with Russia, add one more: the Kremlin has a far more reliable ally in Washington. Putin doesn't need any more help undermining our democracy — the Democrat Party is already doing a better job of that than Russian internet trolls ever could.

I think you may have struck a nerve!
That is what happens when you seed/publish the truth!
Why? Because no one else is commenting on this monumentally moronic seed and equally idiotic premise? I can only assume most people saw through it like the cheap right wing tin foil hat conspiracy theory fantasy trash that it is.
I'm sure most Republicans would also look back at their impeachment of President Clinton and say "Yeah, I guess we were damaging our political institutions by weaponizing and politicizing impeachment...". Of course not! They were cheering impeachment on for the President who would dare lie about consensual sex!
Now we have a President caught holding back hundreds of millions of congressionally approved military aid and a white house meeting from a foreign ally on the condition that they publicly announce their own investigation into one of President Trumps political rivals and claim they were opening an investigation into the already debunked conspiracy theory of some Ukrainian government involvement in the 2016 election hacking.
"You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office." - Senator Lindsey Graham January 1999
Preach Lindsey, preach! But will Republicans listen? Of course not. Not even Lindsey will take his own advice. Trump has clearly debased the honor and integrity of the office of President. He lies hourly, he cozies up with foreign enemies and despots, saying he and Kim Jon Un "fell in love", believes a Russian authoritarian who assassinates dissenters, defectors, political opponents over our own intelligence services, unilaterally withdrew leaving our Kurdish allies to die by the thousands in the inevitable Turkish invasion all after one phone call with Erdogan. Trump has disrespected gold star families, been accused of sexual assault by more than two dozen different women, is the known "unindicted co-conspirator in a campaign finance fraud case where his co-conspirator is already serving time, has had dozens of people around him from his campaign and onward who have plead guilty, been convicted or indicted of lying to investigators about their ties to Russian operatives, Putin himself said he directed Russian assets to help Trump win in 2016, it's not even in doubt anymore by anyone with a functioning brain.
“President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?” - reporter Jeff Mason
“Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.” - Vladimir Putin
More proof I was right. Thanks!
