A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.
"Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration, the report says Russias intelligence services repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his familys alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine. In this way, Trumps circle laundered the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculatedand promoted by Russias online proxiesas American news."

The GOP, Fox News, and other right wing sites are now promoting and have been pushing this Russian produced bullshit
just like the did w/John Kerry & the swift boat shits, HRC & her emails, Bill Clinton and the B.J., Judge Kavanauh, and the
WMD in Iraq. (some of those did not start w/Russia) They are not burdened by the truth.

(72,547 posts)But I believed their report was published after the 2018 election and that Committee I think that
continued its work after the 2018 elections when the republican leadership was lame duck.
i think much of that report is the part of the Mueller Report that Bill Barr kept hidden.

(23,127 posts)The IC assessment doesnt address what TFG knew about the Russian influence campaign. But according to former officials who spoke last fall to the Washington Post and the New York Times, he was directly warned. In a December 2019 conversation, thennational security adviser Robert OBrien told TFG that Giuliani had been worked by Russian assets in Ukraine. TFG shrugged and went on promoting the allegations Giuliani was feeding him. That makes TFG more than a Russian asset. It makes him, in technical terms, an agent of a foreign power.
