"First of all, just because Trump's campaign was stacked with a battalion of rogue "nincompoops" doesn't relieve them of culpability. Whether or not a conspiracy succeeds is inconsequential, it's the intent of the actions they took that matter. And where intent is concerned, what's fascinating is how Russia was the glue that held the whole blundering enterprise together. Regardless of how muddled the campaign hierarchy was, it was riddled with attempts to connect with Russian operatives."
