TLT:

odd comment in context.  there's nothing in this editorial that suggests a "hatred... visceral" for Russia;

your commment seems designed to deflect from the point of the argument--that trump's open disregard and disdain  for the US intelligence community is both ironic and potentially dangerous.

and tedious: how often critiques of trump are met with bolierplate attacks on the  media, often in absurdly trumpian hyperbolic terms ("they know more about russian than anyone else in the world"??)
