"this newest Russian bounty hoax is getting blasted out now? They're trying to damage Trump's support base in the military and law enforcement"

That's actually a really astute point I hadn't considered. I thought it was the typical baseless smear, along the same lines as the Russian collusion hoax. They control literally every institution but the military apparatus. They aren't solely trying to convince voters, but the enlisted and officers.

I hope you are right. If actual law enforcement refuse to carry out orders, then their entire abomination of a justice system is powerless.
