Vlad and Don and their October Surprise.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

Eichenwald is in the middle of this too. Amazing.

..... Yes, the Russians were trying to present direct quotes and passages from a journalist who was NOT Sydney Blumenthal as the October Surprise that would supposedly tank Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Mind you, this just dropped a few hours ago. The update to this story is even more shocking.

While at a rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump started waving around a document and saying that he had an email from Sidney Blumenthal - the same email that Sputnik quoted. Immediately, Trump started spouting the same disinformation as the Sputnik article, using a typical Russian tactic. He says:

“This just came out a little while ago. I have to tell you this.”

And then he read the words from Eichenwald's article, presented as being from Blumenthal.

“He’s now admitting they could have done something about Benghazi. This just came out a little while ago.”

It is crystal clear that the Russians are behind this, they are intentionally feeding misinformation to the Republican candidate and are trying to affect the outcome of the election. Who fed Trump this information? Did he have it before Sputnik published it?

This news comes after the news earlier today that Trump had received information in a security briefing that clearly indicated the Russians were behind the hack at the DNC, something he lied about in last night's debate......

3. "This just came out a little while ago"

Was it emailed to him? Maybe Assface has his own email problem.

10. The Irony of the relationship of Donald Trump and the late Roy Cohn

Anyone remember his role with Mcarthy and the communist witch hunts in this country? And that it was Roy Cohn himself that protected Trump in the housing discrimination lawsuits and even drew up his prenuptial with Ivana when he married.....

The mind boggles....

And now the revelations that Trump basically is Putin's Bottom...

[ecstatic]

12. Trump feels invincible at this point. He knows the media will

never vet him on the serious issues. He's not even trying to hide the collusion anymore. SMH

[Amonester]

14. He either knows he will lose and doesn't care anymore, or...

... he hopes his partners over there will succeed at hacking the voting machines JIT?

[KewlKat]

13. So did Flynn give him this crap to read aloud?

Of course, this might be seen as just an opportunity to laugh at the incompetence of the Russian hackers and government press—once they realized their error, Sputnik took the article down. But then things got even more bizarre.

This false story was only reported by the Russian controlled agency (a reference appeared in a Turkish publication, but it was nothing but a link to the Sputnik article). So how did Donald Trump end up advancing the same falsehood put out by Putin’s mouthpiece?

For now, though, Americans should be outraged. This totalitarian regime, engaged in what are arguably war crimes in Syria to protect their government puppet, is working to upend a democracy to the benefit of an American candidate who uttered positive comments just Sunday about the Kremlin's campaign on behalf of Bashar al-Assad. Trump’s arguments were an incomprehensible explication of the complex Syrian situation, which put him right on the side of the Iranians and Syrian,s who are fighting to preserve the government that is the primary conduit of weapons used against Israel.

So no, Mr. Putin, I’m not Sidney Blumenthal. And now that you have been exposed once again, get the hell out of our election. And Mr. Trump—you have some explaining to do.

17. There is a real concentrated effort to quickly counter Putin docs

Wiki-leaks and Russian hackers may have blown it by interfering with DNC and the convention. I sense all hands are on deck.

[JHB]

15. And I thought I was just being cute with the "gets his marching orders...

...straight from the Kremlin" line.

Wow.

[TeamPooka]

16. Donald Trump is a Russian dupe. He's The Tanchurian Candidate. nt

[SeattleVet]

18. "I have in my hands a list..."

gee, that sounds familiar.

[homegirl]

19. Donald J. Trump

The Manchurian Candidate of the 21st century!

[world wide wally]

22. There is a traitor among us...

I wonder who

[Raster]

24. So we can now make the assumption that Donald Trump...

...is an agent for Putin and Russia. That is called TREASON!

[world wide wally]

25. OK, now we KNOW Trump is working with the Russians… I can only wonder how deep the GOP is in on it

[oldtime dfl_er]

26. Treason

is treason. Why isn't this man in jail???

[ReformedGOPer]

27. I live outside of Wilkes Barre,

and my FB feed is filled with friends, acquaintances who went to see him. They love him. They don't believe any polls that say he is behind. It's frightening.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. So their Hillary/Benghaaaazzzi story blew up in their faces and became a Putin/Trump story.

[DetlefK]

29. Russia Today and Sputnik News are the russian version of Breitbart and Glenn Beck.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

30. And together. . .
