Trump’s Incompetent Counselor, Ms. Conway

The latest is this huge concession that Russia hacked the election. This is a really, really, really stupid statement:

“Appearing on ABC’s ‘This Week’ on Sunday morning, Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, struck a combative tone, saying: ‘It’s the Obama administration that was responsible for doing absolutely nothing from August to January with the knowledge that Russia was hacking into our election. They did absolutely nothing. They’re responsible for this.'”

Ms. Conway may be good at running campaigns (I do not know), but she is absolutely clueless on what to say in public to explain the administration. The Russians didn’t hack the election. Whoever did any hacking had no significant impact on the election. Whatever impact there was from leaking e-mails didn’t harm the election. Her statement lends indirect substance to the notion of collusion with Russia by the Trump camp.

It’s completely wrong to say that Obama’s camp did “absolutely nothing from August to January”. Obama was busy disseminating intelligence to be used against Trump. Leaks were prevalent to be used against Trump. Intelligence agencies were building up reports to be used against Trump.

Ms. Conway doesn’t need to make up an empty charge. If she and her helpers weren’t so incompetent, they could put together a very strong case against the Democrats and their affiliates who took many real unwarranted, slanderous, political steps to attack and undermine Trump and his associates; and they’re still at it.
