Russian Efforts to Influence the 2016 Election

The ICA states that:

Russian efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election represent the most recent expression of Moscow’s longstanding desire to undermine the U.S.-led liberal democratic order, but these activities demonstrated a significant escalation in directness, level of activity, and scope of effort compared to previous operations1 .

• The Committee found that this judgment was supported by the evidence presented in the ICA. Since its publication, further details have come to light that bolster the assessment.

• The ICA pointed to initial evidence of Russian activities against multiple U.S. state or local electoral boards. Since the ICA was published, the Committee has learned more about Russian attempts to infiltrate state election infrastructure, as outlined in the findings and recommendations the Committee issued in March 2018.

• While the ICA briefly discussed the activities of the Internet Research Agency, the Committee's investigation has exposed a far more extensive Russian effort to manipulate social media outlets to sow discord and to interfere in the 2016 election and American society

None of whom can be trusted.

Mexico has interfered in our elections more than any other nation.

This Committee, run by Senator Burr, a disgraceful republican from North Carolina, is lead around by the nose, by that despicable Mark Warner, D Virginia.

Burr doesn’t seem to have a thought in his pretty head. He has a vacant stare and waits until Warner says something and then agrees. It is pathetic to watch.

Who, in their right mind, trusts more than a small handful of people in the federal government, of which NONE of the crooks at the investigatory Alphabets are included.

Obama interfered with the US election more than the Russians could ever even dream of.

If the russians did something, if they tried something, if they spent money, bought ads, or released information WHAT IS IT? Because if the Russians simply told us what Hillary and others were doing illegally or immorally, or nefariously, then THANK YOU RUSSIA.

It seems that the CIA, NSA and CIA are trying to make truth telling to be an act of war, simply because Russia was the one doing it. If the truth came from Russia to the American people and through no other means; If in fact, the truth came to the American people, while lies and disinformation came from the press and the RNC and DNC and the US government, then I guess we have a fifth estate, the Russians.

Be very suspicious when the conclusion of collusion is that Russia tried to alter our election without explaining what Russia did to alter the election. Because if all they did was tell us the fix was in, then we want to send a large thank you fruit basket to Putin.
