That is a damned lie thinskin and you know it.
Your insults ar so pathetic they border on slander.
Be careful.

 

This thread and many others are a testament to that. And treasonous conservative/Republicans continue to have more loyalty to Putin/Russia than they do the United States of America. They loved Putin's help in electing their Chosen One and Putin's puppet.

Giuliani's son tells Russian state TV people don't want to live in America after FBI raided his dad

The son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani went on Russian TV to push conspiracy theories about the federal investigation of his father.

Andrew Giuliani accused the American government of hacking his father's iCloud account (the feds reportedly gained access via a warrant).

"The thing that's been amazing is over the last couple of weeks, how many people -- and some of these people are people who haven't talked to my father in five or ten years -- have come out and said, 'We may not have always agreed with your politics, but we completely agree this is absolutely the wrong thing to see our Justice Department politicize something as badly as they have.' So it's been people who have been very strong Trump supporters and some who have not been Trump supporters. They don't want to live in a country where you're going to have a Justice Department that is going to politicize something to the point where a former president's personal counsel is going actually be spied on by the Justice Department," he claimed.

"And that's very scary for just everyday citizens, cause like you said, if they do it him, they could do it to us and no one would probably even know," Russia Today personality Scottie Nell Hughes.

Stumbler has no standing when it comes to discussions of loyalty and patriotism.

 

......and where do your loyalties lie?

In a system that does not investigate allegations of wrongdoing, particularly sexual assault and hate crimes?

In a system that perpetuates criminal behaviour of an elite minority?

Remind you of any country you know?

Kleptocracy?

Still those traffic violations are punished, who cares if they are only allegations?

Russia Spy Chief Says He’s ‘Flattered’ to Be Blamed for SolarWinds Mega-Hack
GAME RECOGNIZES GAME

Last month, the White House directly blamed Russia’s foreign intelligence service—the SVR—for the humiliating SolarWinds hack, which managed to compromise the networks of at least nine federal agencies. Now, the head of that agency has publicly denied responsibility, but admitted that he was left extremely impressed by what the hackers managed to achieve. In an interview with BBC News, SVR Director and Putin ally Sergei Naryshkin said with a smirk that he was “flattered” to be blamed for the hack, but said he didn’t want to “claim the creative achievements of others as his own.” He added that the U.S. accusations “are like a bad detective novel... pathetic,” and went on to suggest that a U.S. agency may have carried out the attack, but didn’t explain what the possible motive would be. The White House announced new sanctions against Russia in April to hit back against the SolarWinds hack and repeated election interference.

Kremlin views Blinken and Lavrov meeting as 'positive signal'

The Kremlin said on Thursday that it saw "positive signals" towards a possible summit between the presidents of Russia and the United States, after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken the previous day.

"It is obvious that the process won't be easy. Indeed, many problems have come together," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Lavrov will brief Russian President Vladimir Putin about the meeting in Reykjavik, and then it will be up to Putin to decide whether he takes up US President Joe Biden on a proposed summit in June.

Early Thursday, Lavov described his first meeting with Blinken as "constructive," even if there were many differences of opinion.

Russia has yet to commit to a summit for weeks now, repeatedly saying that it needed to analyze the situation. Lavrov's meeting with Blinken had certainly helped in reaching a decision, Peskov said.

But, he added: "The analysis is ongoing."

Other topics that featured in Lavrov and Blinken's talks included the escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, North Korea's and Iran's nuclear programmes, and the situation in Afghanistan.

Biden’s Justice Department to appeal judge’s order to release Trump-obstruction memo

The Biden administration said Monday that it would appeal a judge’s order directing it to release in its entirety a legal memo on whether President Donald Trump had obstructed justice during the Russia investigation. But it also agreed to make a brief portion of the document public.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson earlier this month ordered the Justice Department to release the entire March 2019 memo as part of a public records lawsuit from a Washington-based advocacy organization. She said the department, under Attorney General William Barr, had misstated the purpose of the document in arguing that it was legally entitled to withhold it from the group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

In a motion filed late Monday, the deadline for deciding whether it would comply with the judge’s decision or appeal it, the Justice Department said that it continued to believe even that the full document should be exempt from disclosure.


Though the department agreed to release one section of the document, the lawyers asked Jackson to put her order on hold to give a federal appeals court a chance to review the ruling.

Just more leftists cover-up's being exposed as it is, a hoax that the leftists dont want shared with the voters.

 

There is more to this than ace's has inferred.

I think the Justice Department and the administration are playing a long game here and they do not want this memo released in its entirety until after the Biden/Putin summit.

JUST IN: Biden to Meet With Putin on June 16 in Geneva

A date and a location has been set for President Joe Biden’s first meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin: June 16, Geneva.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced the meeting in a statement on Tuesday morning.

“The leaders will discuss the full range of pressing issues, as we seek to restore predictability and stability to the U.S.-Russia relationship,” she said.

Biden National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan traveled to Geneva this week to meet with his Russian counterpart and finalize the details of the event, CNN reported.

The summit will come at the conclusion of Biden’s first foreign trip as president, taking him through Europe with a stop in the United Kingdom.

It will also be the first time a U.S. president has met with Putin since former President Donald Trump traveled to Helsinki in July 2018. That summit was marked by an extraordinary press conference in which Trump defended Putin against allegations Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

“I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today,” Trump said at the joint news conference after a private two-hour meeting with Putin.

Russian election meddling didn’t end in 2016. A U.S. intelligence report that was declassified in March alleged that Putin personally authorized efforts to hurt the Biden campaign and boost Trump in 2020.

When Biden was asked about the intelligence report, he said Putin would face consequences.

“He will pay a price,” Biden told ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Same Data, Same Strategy: A New Look at How the Trump Campaign and Russian Intelligence Operated in 2016
by John Sipher

May 21, 2021



The recent Biden administration sanctions on the Russian government are part of an ongoing effort to push back against the Kremlin’s malign influence campaign against the West. Although the White House actions are related to Russian attempts to interfere with the 2020 election, included in the announcement is a detail that has reinvigorated interest in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign’s potential connivance with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intelligence services.

In the announcement, the Treasury Department disclosed that in 2016, Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik “provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy” that he received directly from Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort in the summer of 2016.

It was already known that Manafort had passed confidential internal polling data to Kiliminik, who was described by the 2020 Senate Select Intelligence Committee report as a “Russian intelligence officer.” While it is not a great leap to assume a Russian intelligence officer would pass material to his bosses, the recent announcement was the first time the U.S. government acknowledged Putin’s intelligence services were the recipient of the campaign data.

Those who were already troubled by the Trump campaign’s apparent collusion with the Kremlin, like myself, will see this as yet further proof of Trump’s intent to use illicit means to sway the 2016 election. Those who have long shouted “no proof of collusion” will likely scoff at the detail, labeling it as just another piece of information from the U.S. government with little public evidence to back it up.

In determining one way or the other about the seriousness of the new information, it’s important to ask how and why domestic polling data could be of use to the Russian intelligence services, and determine the potential impact it could have.

First, it’s clear what the Russian government has been trying to do in the United States over the past five-plus years. The ongoing Russian effort to weaponize stolen material, spread disinformation, and subvert U.S. democracy has been described in the reports from Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee, as well as a series of assessments from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The Kremlin’s desire to damage the United States by exacerbating existing divisions and support Trump over Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are well established. However, despite the views of a few key commentators and academics, it is commonly assumed that the Russian effort did not ultimately alter votes, significantly sway voters, or have a significant impact on the outcome of the 2016 election.

As aggressive as the covert Russian influence campaign was, it is hard to imagine that fake Russian articles, tweets, and advertisements could persuade a Democrat to vote for Trump. Some researchers have echoed this assumption. Looking at the 2016 election, political scientist and Dartmouth professor Brendan Nyhan concluded that it is extremely difficult to change the minds of committed Democrats and Republicans. His research on the 2016 election suggests that fake news on social media was more likely to reinforce existing biases rather than change any minds.

While this theory makes sense as far as it goes, this is not what the Russian government – or the Trump campaign – were doing. They were doing exactly the opposite. They wanted to reinforce existing biases, not change minds. They were not interested in appealing to voters to consider alternatives. As information warfare expert Molly McKew explained in a February, 2018 article in “Wired,” following the Mueller indictment of the Internet Research Agency (often called the “troll factory”),

the indictment mentions that the Russian accounts were meant to embed with and emulate ‘radical’ groups. The content was not designed to persuade people to change their views, but to harden those views…The intention of these campaigns was to activate—or suppress—target groups. Not to change their views, but to change their behavior.

This strategy is outlined in Christopher Wylie’s book “Mindf*ck” about his time as an employee at Cambridge Analytica, the data analysis firm that provided advice to the Trump campaign and “used data improperly obtained from Facebook to build voter profiles.” The firm – where Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon served on the board – utilized massive data sets to target specific Americans with tailored content. As Wylie described it, Cambridge Analytica was not focused on traditional political advertising, but involved in a form of psychological warfare – “we were creating a machine to contaminate American with hate and cultish paranoia.”

In service of Trump winning the election, Cambridge Analytica and Russian intelligence were operating on the same strategy: not hoping to merely change the opinion of swing voters, but seeking to find and animate new voters – specifically, expand the electorate with voters who were fed up and had stopped engaging in politics, if they ever had in the first place. According to Wylie, “…the firm identified and targeted people with neurotic or conspiratorial dispositions, then disseminated propaganda to deepen and accentuate those traits.” By seeking people who felt oppressed by political correctness and who resented perceived changes in their societal status, Cambridge Analytica was looking to for a group of potential new voters, animated by the opportunity to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals, and put them in a punitive mindset. The strategy identified new voters in 2016, but it also led to the reinforcement of the alt-right, and the eventual creation Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s America First Caucus and a right-wing governing philosophy defined by a performative attitude of “owning the libs.”

At the same time, both Russian intelligence and Trump strategists were also committed to a strategy of voter suppression on the left, seeking particularly to confuse and disempower minority communities. Memes and Facebook posts aimed directly at communities of color sold the theme that both establishment political parties were equally racist, and it was better to opt out altogether than participate in the corrupt process.

While both Bannon’s Cambridge Analytica and Russian intelligence were following the same playbook and had detailed data on and access to tens of millions of Americans (thanks to Facebook), they needed to know where to focus their attack. Which key states and counties could swing the election in the electoral college?


This is where Manafort and Kilimnik come in.

To succeed in potentially impacting the election, Russian intelligence needed tailored polling information. According to Trump campaign associates quoted in the Senate report, Manafort shared data on “polls that identified voter bases in blue-collar, democratic-leaning states which Trump could swing.” While non-professionals might question the value of internal political polling, Manafort seemed to realize the potential value to the Kremlin. In his correspondence with Kilimnik, he suggested that the material might help absolve him of a $19 million debt to Putin-connected oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

While the new information from the Treasury Department does not prove that the Trump campaign conspired with Russian intelligence, the clear confluence of interests, surprising similarity of tactics and shared data suggest that there is still much to learn (although not from either Manafort or Bannon, who were pardoned by former President Donald Trump, and in the case of Manafort, refused to cooperate with federal prosecutors). Both groups exploited Americans’ fears and worries for their own ends; the Trump campaign to provoke and harness rage and resentment, and Russia for subversive purposes. Were the Trump and Russian strategies identical by chance? Even if so, they both relied on the same data (thanks to Manafort and Kilimnik), drew similar conclusions, and certainly found the effort worthwhile.
