"Whatever peril the Russians pose to American democracy, it’s nothing compared to the danger posed by the permanent Washington bureaucracy attempting to nullify the 2016 and now the 2020 elections."

Adam Mill writes in American Greatness,
...Let’s return to what was actually said in the supposedly inappropriate phone call between Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart.

Trump asked, “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike . . . I guess you have one of your wealthy people . . . The server, they say Ukraine has it.” The Intelligence Community has largely relied upon Crowdstrike in reaching the conclusion that the Russians hacked the DNC servers in the 2016 election.

The “favor” Trump wanted, had nothing to do with Biden. It had to do with Crowdstrike. Is it treason (or bribery, or cattle rustling) to ask Ukraine to look into Crowdstrike? Yes, according to Democrats. Because merely asking about Crowdstrike implicitly questions the unquestionable conclusions of the intelligence community and nothing endangers our democracy like an elected president’s failure to submit to his spymasters in the CIA.

We can know with near certainty that the Left lacks confidence in their narrative by the effort they put into branding anyone who questions it as “traitors,” or collaborators with Putin. Otherwise, they would use persuasion, not intimidation, to resolve the debate.

...If the Russians did attempt to interfere in the 2016 election, then the intelligence community totally undermined public confidence in their assessment by tying that interference to false allegations accusing Trump of conspiring with that effort.

...Whatever peril the Russians pose to American democracy, it’s nothing compared to the danger posed by the permanent Washington bureaucracy attempting to nullify the 2016 and now the 2020 elections.
