Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Putin's Revenge: Masha Gessen (interview) | FRONTLINE" video.

Absolutely true. Masha was interviewed on the Australian program Planet America and gave the best explanation on the entire Trump-Russian collusion fiasco. Masha's explanation was that: 1: Putin is not a master strategist and believes that all elections are a rubber stamp for what has already been decided because that's his Russia. Its all decided before hand. So he expected Clinton would win. 2: Putin like Russians before him have played the game with America from the unpredictable possibly madman perspective to America's straight man. Having Trump in the White House would ruin that vibe. 3: Putin was the master of East Germany before the collapse and destined to rule SOVIET Russia one day, but the Russia he returned to was wrecked. He wants his Soviet Empire back and just as importantly he wants to hurt the West for what happened and that included Hilary Clinton. Masha never explicitly said it but the inference was that Putin was in fact expecting to do great harm to the Clinton Presidency by releasing damaging facts after the win with a rampant Trump going nuts. We now know that assessment was right. The big was the Jim Comey didn't do as Putin expected. In Putin's world subordinates like Comey do as they are told. They don't announce to the world they found stuff and are reopening an investigation. Just imagine if Comey had kept quiet and then after the election knowledge of the additional emails were released. Just imagine how the Republicans and Trump would have reacted. Putin would have been able to sit back laughing as America tor itself to pieces. Instead he got Trump and had to wait 6 more years to start pulling the former Soviet Republics back into order.

@truth2700 Have you seen what Marjorie Taylor Green just said about her speech to a White Supremacist Group. Nobody has to put words in their mouths we just have to wait for them to speak. Since you want to quote Jesus why don't you go look at what he said about the political leaders of his time. How about the proponents of "Wealth Christianity"? How do they claim what they claim when it was Jesus who threw the money changers and traders out of the temple. Why don't you review Mathew 7 and take in what Jesus himself said about how he would REJECT certain people and that we would know them by there behavior.

@serenityb5816 Yeah I know about the emails. Comey came and said we looked and there's nothing there. WE ALL KNOW THAT. The scenario put forward is what would have happened had Comey NOT told the public BEFORE the election. Do you think the GOP and Trump would have let that go or do you think they would have ripped the country apart? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
