Having long ago been humbled that I am not the smartest guy in the room or on on this ship I need some explaining from our team. This is my recollection of how it all went down. Please correct me where I’ve lapsed.<\/p>\n

During the 2016 presidential campaign the henchman in chief of Hillary’s campaign, John Podesta, got a phishing email from some porn site or something that looked like a legit website. He clicked on the link and entered or reset his password and thought he was done.<\/p>\n

The server he was directed to may or may not have been in Russia, but most likely was, but could’ve been run from anywhere on the planet with a dial up AOL account. Podesta’s\u00a0password was used to legitimately access is gmail account, pilfer all of his emails and those of others, and were passed on\u00a0to Wikileaks.<\/p>\n

Wikileaks posted all sorts\u00a0of stuff embarrassing to the Clinton campaign. The ‘media’ (whatever that is now) ignored the emails and Hillary ran a terrible campaign. Trump had Ted Cruz’s former demographic data mining machine behind him funded by the Mercers and kicked Hillary’s butt in the electoral college.<\/p>\n

How does this rise to ‘Russia interfering in a Presidential election’ and the need to nominate a special counsel?<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for your thoughtful answers in the comments. Please keep the words\u00a0under 3 syllables since I clearly do not have the intellect to cope.<\/p>\n
