America's new aristocracy lives in an accountability-free zone | Accountability is for the little people, immunity is for the ruling class. If this ethos seems familiar, that is because it has preceded some of the darkest moments in human history

My personal tin foil (i.e. completely unprovable) theory is this:

All of these "Russian bots" (well, a significant amount of them - I'm sure Putin has an online army as well) are actually P.R. firms and agents of big corporations that see big $$$$ from dividing the American population. Who are the ones profiting from all of this? Russians are just a convenient scapegoat and potential cash cow for the military industrial complex. I'd wager THAT is what all the behind-closed-doors meetings and "collusion" has been about.

Just play along, drum up paranoia about Russians, divide the population down the middle and Putin, Trump and the rest of the global Aristocracy laugh all the way to the bank.
