'New Yorker' Editor Says the Russians Weren't Trying to Help Trump at All
The editor of The New Yorker, David Remnick, says that the Russians weren't trying to aid Trump's campaign; he says they were trying to destabilize Hillary's inevitable presidency. His contention is that, like everyone in the media, the Russians thought that Secretary Clinton was going to be the 45th president, and the hacks and leaks they released were intended to damage her leadership. Remnick says that the Russians are actually now fearful of Trump's off-the-cuff attitudes and that "there's a lot of buyer's remorse." This totally flies in the face of the liberal narrative that the Russians essentially put President Trump in the Oval Office.
