Donald Trump did, in my memory, in a video I personally saw, ask the Russians to ‘find Hilary’s missing eMails.’
They did. More or less.
The FBI etc timed their revelatory / not revelatory actions just in time to, possibly (actually,  imho) sway the election.

Trump overrides professional media reporters in several ways:

• He shouts them down
• He ignores ones who ask even mildly tough questions
• He responds via Twitter, which has no in-line fact checking.

Let me dwell on this last point. News media (Newspaper, radio, television) fact-check with a high and professional degree of accuracy: total rejection of unsubstantiated myth-shouting.

Twitter allows unsubstantiated myth-shouting. It’s now called ‘Alternate Truth.’

Perhaps one of the movements obsessed with Trump’s trumping of decency with respect to them (Muslims, non-whites, Mexicans, and especially women) – perhaps one of these movements might accidentally ‘do a Trump’ and ask some foreign power to tilt the balance in their favour.

Perhaps requesting a DDOS attack on Twitter might do it.

I’m kidding, of course. This was just Alternate Truth.
