Putin blew it with his "Watch my lips...No," crack.
GHW Bush's -- "Read my lips...No new taxes" -- is synonymous with "political bullshit."
The cultural nuance eluded Putin.
I'm of the view that everything Russian is over-blown. The illegitimacy of the Trump regime is due to wholly domestic actors -- the decades long GOP voter suppression program, and James Comey's violation of the Hatch Act.
Compared with that treasonous garbage Wikileaks was small potatoes.
I agree, the hacking and Wikileaks is a fairly small part of the story now, giving how it has grown and developed. Trump Tower being Russian Mafia Central, and the politically compromising material the Russians must have on Donald over the last 25 years is probably YUGE.

During a 2001 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Trump and gossip columnist A.J. Benza were engaged in a sophomoric battle over ex-girlfriends, with Trump needling Benza about stealing his woman. At one point during the back-and-forth, after Trump said he hoped "A.J.'s clean," Benza responded by claiming Trump "bangs Russian people." Trump shot back, stating "who are you talking about" and "I don't know anything."
"He used to call me when I was a columnist and say, I was just in Russia, the girls have no morals, you gotta get out there'," Benza noted. "He's out of his mind."
