When Trump stooge John Ratcliffe and FBI Director Chris Wray held a joint press conference last night – with Ratcliffe insisting that Iran was trying to harm Donald Trump’s chances of winning, and Wray seemingly just there to emphasize that Russia was meddling in the election – it raised all kinds of questions.

The two big questions were: 1) Why did Trump insist that Ratcliffe suddenly hold this pointless, brief, and obviously slapped together press briefing, and 2) Why did Trump allow his puppet master Russia to be mentioned at all? Now it looks like we’re getting some answers.

This evening NBC News, and the New York Times, and others are reporting that the Trump regime has known for weeks that Russia successfully hacked into U.S. voter registration systems. In other words, the media outlets that broke this news asked the Trump regime yesterday if it wanted to provide comment for the story, and Trump panicked over it, so he sent Ratcliffe out there to try to steer most of the attention toward Iran instead.
