How did Putin get Trump nominated? Trump had to get nominated for Putin to get him elected. Your answer must include evidence, including documents, testimony, and other forms of evidence as defined in the Federal Code of Criminal Procedure, The Rules of Evidence.

@franifio I have the answer to how Trump got nominated, and the evidence, which is considerable. Putin had nothing to do with it.
@franifio Here we go---First, Hillary asked her friends in the media to "elevate" Trump as she wanted to run against him.

@franifio The media did exactly what they were asked to do by Hillary for America and DNC executives--They promoted Trump.

@franifio Late in the campaign, Bill Clinton called Obamacare "crazy."

@franifio Obama gave an interview concerning illegal immigrants voting. It caused a controversy that helped galvanize Trump's voters to turn out no matter what the polls said.

@franifio The polls showing Hillary to be a "shoo-in" and the only questions being how large her majority would be and how long her coattails down ballot actually damaged Hillary's turnout.

@franifio Did the DNC and Podesta emails have much effect on the election? Well, not according to the Steele Dossier, whose supporters keep telling us was "not disproven." Steele's sources told him Putin was disappointed in the impact the emails had on the campaign. It's right in there.
@franifio I suppose it didn't help when Putin had Fancy Bear hack the DNC when Cozy Bear already had ADMINISTRATIVE ACCESS to the entire network and already transmitted to Moscow from the DNC. Fancy Bear used brute force to break through the firewall and penetrate the network exposing...
@franifio ...their presence and bringing on CrowdStrike's incident response that resulted in the theory that Putin was trying to elect Trump and the DNC emails were part of that alleged scheme. Only a real covert operation would have succeeded, but it wasn't covert even if true.

My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."

Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016."

"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."

Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”
