It is important to keep in mind that one should never make a quick judgements without looking at all of the data, background, and information. There were some issues that seemed to show up right away that would indicate a problem. The issue then launched a massive Congressional investigation that cannot avoid the political dynamics as they exist (From a sociological perspective we will see how this plays out and what percentage of people who support one thing over the other. I'm taking a fairly neutral perspective to let facts unfold. However, I have my suspicious and usually they are not unwarranted. Many Republicans are likely to start changing heart seeing the dangers for what they are. That doesn't mean Democrats don't share in the responsibilities not to create toxic environments where conflict is the primary focus/pleasure of lawmakers. Most are great on both sides but the loudest mouths often win the microphone and in turn help create a difficult environment for bi-partisan efforts.) .
The question is, "What is the truth?" and how do we use this dangerous situation (whether true or not) to strengthen our nation?
I see us coming out positively on the other end but that will dependent on the quality of leadership we have at the nation's capital (Republican and Democrat as a legislative group and any future court cases as codified in our Judicial Branch.) Anyone working outside of those lawful institutions should be seen with suspect (Ram's Butting Heads).
A few key concepts we should think beyond (Hegel in History)....
1.) The way in which the crowd was hyped up would be very difficult to do organically. One would have to look at who heard what and where.
2.) Appears to have some coordination questions of resources. When were notices given and how did information flow in the situation?
3.) If we chase back all of the different groups would we find a connection to foreign agents and/or domestic extremism? Russian Elect and Soft Side of Hate
4.) Is there another round coming if pressure is placed on key leadership?
Here are the highlights...
