Re "Putin Led Scheme to Aid Trump, Report Says"

1/7/17

To the editor:

There has been too  much focus on the role of Russia in its covert efforts to influence the outcome of the past Presidential election while ignoring an inconvenient and worrisome fact (NYT, Putin led scheme to aid Trump, report says, 1/7/17). The Russians have a treasure trove of RNC emails that they can choose or not choose to leak at a moments notice. Hillary Clinton lost the election by a minuscule amount when looking at the three swing states that gave Donald Trump the election; we now will have a President in office whom Russia is capable of blackmailing at any time.
