Back in the day, scandals like Russia would be much harder to break, because the people involved would cover their tracks (or at least cover them better than the people involved here have).  Whatever happened to 3 a.m. meetings in empty parking lots, or covert confabs in hole-in-the-wall restaurants two towns away?  In the movie "Stalag 17," information would be passed back and forth by means of hiding messages inside light sockets.  Now, we have Don-Don meeting up with Russians in broad daylight at his high-profile dad's tower and TWEETING the damn(ing) emails in the name of "transparency."  Criminals have become So. Damn. Lazy.

The main difference between then and now is probably that the public back then when they began to learn everything were genuinely disturbed. I tend to question how many outside of the media and political junkies care about this. We've been talking about Russia for a year now, it feels like. A lot of people probably just tune it out to go back to Dr. Phil or whoever.
