WTF Is It with the Russia Fearmongering?

Rep. Tim Ryan (D., Ohio) suggested to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Friday that the Russians may have played a role in the FBI reopening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server after discovering new documents.

Really? Really?! So the Russians are now running interference in Anthony Weiner's sexting case?

“So the question is: Where did these come from? How did they get to the FBI? Is Russia involved in this? We don’t have a clue where this stuff is coming from,” Ryan said.

Yes. Yes, we do.  Maybe Representative Ryan doesn't have a clue, but the rest of us know for a fact.  It's coming from Anthony Weiner's computer, which was seized by the FBI.

Please. Ohio Democrats, get yourself a new representative. This one's an idiot.

If I wanted to give this guy the benefit of the doubt and say Blitzer questioned him after the Comey letter was made public and before it was clarified - less than an hour later - I would still have to call him an idiot.  The non-idiot answer would have been, "Let's wait until we get more information from the DOJ, Wolf."  Not, "Is Russia involved in this?"  And if he's simply carrying water for the Clinton campaign (marching orders for all Dems: play up the Russophobia angle), he's still an idiot, looking for a job in what is shaping up to be one of the worst administrations ever, and at least one of the most scandal-ridden.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
