The US will not be prepared to defend against possible Russian meddling in the 2018 midterm elections or the 2020 presidential contest unless it takes action now, according to a new report detailing the extent to which Moscow has tried to shape elections across Europe.
The report details Russia's arsenal of military invasions, disinformation campaigns and corruption, and its weaponization of energy resources, among other tools, and it demonstrates how Moscow's attacks have intensified in scale and complexity, hitting Britain, Germany and France, as well as Ukraine and smaller countries.
The report, released Wednesday by Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the senior Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, draws from European experience to outline ways in which Russia's "malign influence operations" can be deterred.

US must act NOW...
LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! (and the rest of them)
Know your POS legislator:
“Benjamin Louis Cardin was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Dora (née Green) and Meyer M. Cardin (1907–2005). The family name was originally “Kardonsky”, before it was changed to “Cardin”. Cardin’s grandparents were Russian Jewish immigrants. His grandfather operated a neighborhood grocery store that later turned into a wholesale food distribution company. His father, Meyer Cardin, served in the Maryland House of Delegates (1935–37) and later sat on the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City (1961–77).[3]
Cardin and his family attend the Modern Orthodox Beth Tfiloh Congregation near their home, with which the family has been affiliated for three generations. He graduated from Baltimore City College (1961) and obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude (1964) from the University of Pittsburgh, where he was a member of the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity. He earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Maryland School of Law (1967), graduating first in his class. Cardin was admitted to the Maryland Bar that same year, and entered a private practice.
Yada, yada, Russia, Russia.
So to CNN or anyone else claiming meddling: What exactly did Russia do?
NGO connected to Obama’s 2008 campaign used U.S. tax dollars trying to oust Netanyahu
*crickets*
Mexico meddles more in our elections than any other country.
So far they have provided no evidence of any Russian “meddling”.
For the next half century, any time a democrat loses it will be “Russian Meddling”....
They made RT more credible than American MSM.
Russia has as much right to involve themselves in US elections as the US did in Israeli elections.
Where was the concern when WJC was getting money from China?
“What exactly did Russia do?”
The same thing they have been doing for the last 20 years:
They talked to people in power and got informtion.
They broke into government computer storage and current talk and got information.
They broke into DNC and RNC computer storage and current talking and got information.
They got all this information so they can plan the reaction that will happen in real time.
They didn’t do a damn thing to change the actual election, they just prepared for the outcome and were probably not surprised by who won.
They’ve been doing things like this since computers were being used by the government and people like Hilary Clinton were stupid enough to leave the highway wide open so they could get in.
And the real idiocy behind this is that Trump is being investigated for supposedly giving information to Russia so they could change the outcome of an election, which didn’t happen, since mid 2015. Yet they can exonerate Hilary Clinton with passing top secret and higher classified information through her personal computer while sec of state because she didn’t mean to? She didn’t mean to do what she was caught at yet Trump is being attacked by, I believe, every possible investigating government organization we have and they have nothing, but it continues. You see the problem here? I do.

Simple to do — outlaw the democrat party. “Russian” meddling would stop.
Quick ban CNN!
Brain dead Ben
Strikes again
Yeah Ben, Russia invades countries and “weaponizes” energy resources (you mean like OPEC does?) to swing US elections?
I bet they even set out to destroy Syria with barbarian thugs to unseat the elected govt and in the ensuing chaos, allow a Saudi- Qatari gas pipeline to be built...
And are working on the same destabilization scenario for a Ukraine pipeline
Oh wait
What a schmuck
Act now to ward off electoral meddling by the swamp.
