The bigger issue around this is fake news, as that does influence peoples voting choices, and Trump is using that bigly while trashing the genuine variety.

The Russian involvement encouraged fake news and Trump and his team were complicit in that. Is that involvement enough to end his presidency? Time will tell, but the stars are aligning, his time is running out and I would be surprised if he is still president next year.

I agree in part but remember it was Trump who purposely printed a fake Time magazine cover and placed it in many of his golf courses. Got to hand it to him, to do that and then bang on about fake news, he's got a set on him for sure.

There seems to be something in this. I noted in another thread that neither Trump or any of his surrogates are calling these stories 'fake news' so I think they have finally realised the seriousness of some of the allegations.
