Davkaus Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Two old, incoherent and frankly unsuitable candidates, but only one is a Russian asset. https://www.chicagotribune.com/nation-world/ct-nw-russian-election-interference-senate-report-20200818-apprn474wnbulfhw2gi545fo2a-story.html Quote WASHINGTON — The Trump campaign’s interactions with Russian intelligence services during the 2016 presidential election posed a “grave” counterintelligence threat, a Senate panel concluded Tuesday as it detailed in a report how associates of the Republican candidate had regular contact with Russians and expected to benefit from the Kremlin’s help. The report, the fifth and final one from the Republican-led Senate intelligence committee on the Russia investigation, describes how Russia launched an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to interfere in the election on Donald Trump’s behalf. It says Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin’s aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails that were hacked by Russian military intelligence officers. The conclusions mark the culmination of a bipartisan probe that spanned more than three years and produced what the committee called “the most comprehensive description to date of Russia’s activities and the threat they posed.” The findings echo to a large degree those of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, with the report’s unflinching characterization of furtive interactions between Trump associates and Russian operatives contradicting the Republican president’s claims that the FBI had no basis to investigate whether his campaign was conspiring with Russia. The report was released as two other Senate committees, the Judiciary and Homeland Security panels, conduct their own reviews of the Russia probe with an eye toward uncovering what they say was FBI misconduct during the early days of the investigation. A prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William Barr, who regards the Russia investigation with skepticism, disclosed his first criminal charge on Friday against a former FBI lawyer who plans to plead guilty to altering a government email. Read it: Senate intelligence report on 2016 Russian election interference » Among the more striking sections of the nearly 1,000-page report issued Tuesday is the committee’s description of the close professional relationship between former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Konstantin Kilimnik, whom the committee describes without equivocation as a Russian intelligence officer. “Taken as a whole, Manafort’s high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik, represented a grave counterintelligence threat,” the report says.

HanoiVillan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I see that far right media figure and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer won a congressional primary last night, albeit in a district she is unlikely to win in the general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Did Donald Trump really say that people need to vote to “save our country”? Save it from him? He’s the one running it into the ground. So bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 19, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2020 I've probably already said it (we old folks get a bit forgetful you know), but I'd rather have a president with the mental faculties of a 77 year old than one with those of a three year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted August 19, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2020 This isn't an accident - these are two candidates that won't cause a lot of difficulty for the money that runs the country and will ensure that public faith in democracy and public service is further eroded. Money says, "Here's two idiots, pick between them" and the US public says "Politics doesn't work, we should put more faith in our corporate and banking structure, those guys really know what they're doing". Turkeys voting for thanksgiving. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
