Princeton Russia Expert Calls Out Clinton on Trump Smears

Stephen F. Cohen, professor emeritus of Russian studies at Princeton and New York University, slammed Hillary Clinton for distorting Donald Trump's relationship to Russia on CNN's "Smerconish" show early Saturday, according to The Daily Caller.

Democrats have floated the idea that Trump has undisclosed connections with Russia, and irresponsibly so, according to Cohen. The "reckless branding of Trump as a Russian agent, most of it is coming from the Clinton campaign," he said. "And they really need to stop."

"We're approaching a Cuban Missile Crisis level nuclear confrontation with Russia," Cohen continued. "And there is absolutely no discussion, no debate about this in the American media."

The United States and Russia are in a "New Cold War," which Trump is trying to end, according to Cohen, but he said the media haven't been listening.

"Then along comes, unexpectedly, Donald Trump, who says he wants to end the New Cold War, and cooperate with Russia in various places ... and – astonishingly – the media is full of what only can be called neo-McCarthyite charges that he is a Russian agent, that he is a 'Manchurian candidate,' and that he is (Vladimir) Putin's client."

Hillary doesn't like it when somebody deals on her corner.

Stephen Cohen is a leading Russian history expert. He is not someone I'd want to dance with in regards to any debate about Russian policy or history. The fool that interviewed him on CNN looked like a monkey as this man ripped him apart in a very gracious manner.

The fact is Clinton is running on dangerous territory and she's ruffling feathers that she may be sorry she disturbed. It's already bad enough she's given Russia a sizable amount of our uranium, now she's playing chicken with Putin? Dumb idiot indeed.

And still there's some of you that would vote for this idiot in spite of all her bumbling rubbish. Don't know which is dumber, you or her.
