it is completely fake. Standards of evidence - have you ever seen a singular item of actual evidence about russia's influence on the election. Yes, there's CLAIMS of evidence - but ACTUAL ?
There is a parallel world that mirrors the PizzaGate investigation where people are scouring the internet looking for any possible link between Trump, Flynn etc. and Russia. It's mostly on Twitter and it's not as organized as we are but there are some surprisingly intelligent people convinced that Trump and Putin are conspiring to go on a goose-stepping genocide across Europe and the middle east and that they desperately need to find some evidence to get Trump impeached. It's kind of sad but they probably think the same about us.
I can't even figure out what their theory is: Trump was in debt so he struck a deal to have Putin steal e-mails from Hillary and win him the election so he could lift sanctions and in turn be bailed out of debt? Is this honestly what people think happened? And Assange capitulated or is a Putin guy or also has a share in Trump's casinos or something? Or is it Carter Page getting a deal for a share in Rosneft to have sanctions lifted? Because it can't be both the Trump/debt and the Page/Rosneft story, and yet they've pitched both. But we're the ones accused of being conspiracy theorists.

This entire story seems fake as shit. Maybe I am under Trump's spell but it just seems so unbelievably fake.

Don't give them any ideas. This half-baked story you concocted is already way better than their "logic." ;)

I was especially proud of the 'Assange has a share in Trump's casinos' bit.
