- leeleelee 10y agoI'm not asking only how Trump would benefit Russia, but what evidence exists to suggest that this entire ordeal was some elaborate scheme concocted by the Russian government? EDIT: If this claim was such a stark truth, surely there must exist a smoking gun somewhere? So, where is the evidence?
