A Thought Experiment
Let's imagine a parallel universe; where Hillary Clinton won the election, and Donald Trump lost.
Donald Trump complains that he only lost the election because of Russian influence, he offers shaky evidence that Russians hacked his campaign.
Further events unfold: he has illegally stored federal emails on his private servers. When subpoenaed by a federal judge to handover the evidence, he deletes 33000 emails.
When asked about the emails, and destroying state’s evidence, he says “Yeah but you only know about it because of the Russians!”

Questions:
- Will there be an investigation into Russian meddling?
- Will he be prosecuted for destroying state’s evidence?
- What does the media landscape look like after this event?
