The Washington Post this morning reported that “U.S. intelligence agencies had sourcing deep inside the Russian government capturing Vladimir Putin’s direct instructions to damage Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning and help elect Donald Trump.” The Post’s story provides a highly detailed and well reported account of how the Obama administration learned of the Russian cyber attack and what actions it took in response.

The most remarkable part of this abysmal history is President Trump’s absolute refusal to acknowledge that these events took place in spite of the strong evidence provided him by all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies and his further insistence that the entire story involving Russia is “fake news.”

These facts, juxtaposed as they are, constitute massive circumstantial evidence of his cooperation with the Russian attack.

Mr. Trump, you must explain yourself!
