A decade ago, it was all “Russians! Under my bed!” everywhere. Those Russians were fictional, for the most part, part of a campaign organized by Clintonistas to explain away her humiliating defeat, and magnified by various Deep State operatives into an effort to discredit and weaken the first Trump term.
