If Eichenwald's reporting that Trump actually broke the law when he violated the Cuban embargo didn't even make a ripple in the news cycle dedicated to breathlessly covering "crooked Hillary," this too will be a big nothingburger.

Trump, Russia, Putin's plans to weaken the West. The connections ain't that hard to understand. Three days of reporting on this story will make it obvious. Russia's hacking efforts were designed to put their useful idiot in th White House. The rest of the world will isolate us if Trump is elected.
