All of Trump's efforts, from 2016 to current, including his statement that the stock markets would collapse if he were impeached, including Giuliani's statement that there would be "revolt" among the American people if Trump were impeached, including Trump's statement ahead of the Cleveland convention that there would be "riots" if he were denied the nomination, the violence at Trump rallies, the racial tensions during the campaign, Bannon's "Lock Her Up!" chant, Bannon's statement yesterday that the impeachment threat would be the Republican theme of the mid-term elections, all of these are Russian-inspired. Trump's campaign was so different because it was so different, it was Russian. Americans had never seen anything like it before because there never was anything like it before. It was Russian.
