What people don’t seem to understand is that Russia has PR companies that try to sway US and other country elections. But so does Canada, England, and France as well as others. This is nothing new. And its nothing that our friends don’t do. Israel does this in America all the time with people who are citizens of both countries. This is not so much espionage as it is PR. The US has indicted 3 small Russian PR firms. And by the way. The US does this back.

All the advocacy activity alleged in the indictment would have been legal if the ads were accurately attributed, and the activity reported following the obscure and arcane US regulations that pertain to 1st amendment activity involving elections.

IOW, the activity wasn't illegal. The crime is failure to disclose and report. And then the only illegal part is where the communications are express advocacy for a candidate.

How is it possible the Clowns In America and Obama officials not know??

“Israel does this in America all the time with people who are citizens of both countries.”

Let’s not forget that Clinton and Obama both interfered with the Israeli elections to get rid of Netanyahu.

We are not exactly white doves on this issue.
