Suspend Disbelief

Regarding "CIA: Russia backed Trump" (Saturday Front Page), the article boldly proclaims that Russia was the sole source for the Wikileaks E-Mails so damaging to Hillary Clinton, and that Russia "intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency."  This is the conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton peddled before and after the election, and that President Obama decided to dig up literally the day before yesterday.

Reasonable people might be skeptical of this theory, considering that the CIA and the other 16 intelligence agencies that Clinton and Obama are so fond of citing apparently didn't know a thing about the hacks until they read about them in the newspaper.

If I'm going to believe anybody about the involvement of the Russians - much less their motives - it's not likely to be the clueless operatives of the CIA, but the trained professionals at Wikileaks.
