Your skills in reading comprehension need a tune up. If I'm right, as you claim, you couldn't possibly arrive at that conclusion.

Let me address your post one point at a time.
Firstly, the use of Tucker Carlson as a credible opinion on anything. Fox network has admitted in open court that Tucker's show isn't news or even editorial opinion, but only entertainment. Additionally, Tucker, along with many of his fellow commentators on Fox, was caught red-handed admitting that the "news" they were trying to sell on the network was manufactured manure and they didn't believe any of it. And you want to use this person's opinion as the basis for your claim? You do realize, because of the foregoing, that using Tucker as a source to legitimize your opinion means anything you said later in the post can't be taken seriously, yeah?
Second, on the claim of the hacking of the DNC computers that, "No evidence to support that assertion exists to this day." While it is true there is no concrete "they positively did it" evidence, there is plenty of circumstantial evidence that points directly to the Russian troll farms as the DNC hackers. Many of the code lines incorporated into the virus used have an indelible fingerprint style that has only been seen in attacks coming from the Russian trolls. While others could use this code, the preponderance of the evidence points to the Russians. So your claim that no evidence exists is for an attack by the Russians is erroneous.
Could Trump have prevented the attack on Ukraine by Russia? I do not believe so. I do believe that he would have tried to legitimize that attack by use of his usual tactics. why? You pointed that out here, "However Trump never bought into the "Russia is our enemy" mantra..." No, he did not. And why did he not? Because he was trying to make a deal to build in Russia that would have netted him millions. He would have thrown Ukraine to the Russians in a heartbeat to make that deal. So it is with Trump, money over EVERYTHING.
Your premise is flawed, your supporting opinion is flawed, it appears your entire supposition is no more than wishes built on air.

First of all you can save your fingers typing what I already know, ALL of those shows on EVERY network are commentary. Selected facts are presented and a story woven around them.
Re. the DNC server. The DNC chose a (politically) trusted third party to do the forensic's. They steadfastly refused to allow the FBI or any other qualified organzation to investigate the server. Consequently, as far as I'm concerned the 'report' issued falls into the same category as hearsay. The culprits could just as easily have been the Chinese or the kid next door.
I already stated that I doubt whether Trump being in office would have made any difference.
But you, and others, seem to have missed my main thesis, that being political powers capriciously using foreign powers as a political tool.

You build a case for your opinion on reporting by a known and proven liar, then try to dodge the facts by saying, "Selected facts are presented and a story woven around them." Selected facts huh? Like the truth maybe? It's really hard to dodge the truth once it has seen the light.
As far as your second paragraph, a quick search brought up at least 6 articles about the FBI investigating the hack. Oh My! But, but, but, but ,but... So again you prove your backing information wrong.
And I don't think anyone missed anything. When a case is built on a rotten foundation, a liar's opinions and "selected facts" (odd how you cry about that but use it consistently) the conclusion arrived at is flawed and while may contain some truth, it is not worth the effort to separate the small amount of true from the useless detritus.

I'm highlighting an important fact, in your post ican't. Yes the Administration did implement Congress approved sanctions ( Congress not Trump) and Trump tried to block them....

"According to the allegations in the indictment, Viktor Borisovich Netyksho, Boris Alekseyevich Antonov, Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin, Ivan Sergeyevich Yermakov, Aleksey Viktorovich Lukashev, Sergey Aleksandrovich Morgachev, Nikolay Yuryevich Kozachek, Pavel Vyacheslavovich Yershov, Artem Andreyevich Malyshev, Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk, Aleksey Aleksandrovich Potemkin, and Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev were officials in Unit 26165 and Unit 74455 of the Russian government’s Main Intelligence Directorate."
"The Department of Justice today announced that a grand jury in the District of Columbia returned an indictment presented by the Special Counsel’s Office. The indictment charges twelve Russian nationals for committing federal crimes that were intended to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. All twelve defendants are members of the GRU, a Russian Federation intelligence agency within the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian military. These GRU officers, in their official capacities, engaged in a sustained effort to hack into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, and released that information on the internet under the names "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0" and through another entity."
"In 2016, officials in Unit 26165 began spearphishing volunteers and employees of the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, including the campaign’s chairman. Through that process, officials in this unit were able to steal the usernames and passwords for numerous individuals and use those credentials to steal email content and hack into other computers. They also were able to hack into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) through these spearphishing techniques to steal emails and documents, covertly monitor the computer activity of dozens of employees, and implant hundreds of files of malicious computer code to steal passwords and maintain access to these networks."

These GRU officers, in their official capacities, engaged in a sustained effort to hack into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee, and the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, and released that information on the internet under the names "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0" and through another entity."
"In 2016, officials in Unit 26165 began spearphishing volunteers and employees of the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton, including the campaign’s chairman. Through that process, officials in this unit were able to steal the usernames and passwords for numerous individuals and use those credentials to steal email content and hack into other computers. They also were able to hack into the computer networks of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) through these spearphishing techniques to steal emails and documents, covertly monitor the computer activity of dozens of employees, and implant hundreds of files of malicious computer code to steal passwords and maintain access to these networks."

Posting credible actions levied is not carrying water. These actions actually happened. These actions dispel the notion that Trump was a Russian bot. You may hate the man but ya can't rewrite history.

Whether Putin would have invaded Ukraine during the Trump administration is unknowable, but my posting would suggest that Putin had a lot to think about. One very important fact that perhaps played a part in Putin's thought process and willingness to take on risk were the sanctions levied against Nord stream II contractors. IMHO

Before the 2016 presidential campaign he was a businessman out to make money. One of Trump's long time visions was building a luxury tower in downtown Moscow, that's what businessmen do.Can you dispel the Russian piss tape?

That, among other corrupt and criminal acts, certainly is what Trump always has done. But this is OK with ICan't (which tells us a lot about the values of ICan't).

a little off subject -

what a fucking mess.

It would be nice if they'd get around to getting around to that--especially if they want to be believed about that "no one is above the law" pat phrase.

HEY!! I'm over here!!! I've never supported corruption or criminal behavior. Why do you always resort to lying to support your arguments.
You support Trump, a twice impeached President. Who is currently under investigation for trying to overthrow an election.
Should I start calling you Mr. "I never support corruption and criminal behaviour" as well as "I don't carry water for Trump"?
