Peter Schweizer, a Hoover Institution research fellow, has just written a new book, "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism."
Schweizer, after scouring once-classified KGB, East German Stasi and Soviet Communist Party files, discovered incontrovertible evidence that the Soviets not only played footsie with high-ranking Democrats, they also worked behind the scenes to influence American elections.
Soviet diplomatic accounts and material from the archives show that in January 1984 former President Jimmy Carter dropped by Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin's residence for a private meeting.
Carter expressed his concern about and opposition to Reagan's defense buildup. He boldly told Dobrynin that Moscow would be better off with someone else in the White House.
Using the Russians to influence the presidential election was nothing new for Carter.
Russian documents that show that in the waning days of the 1980 campaign, the Carter White House dispatched businessman Armand Hammer to the Soviet Embassy.
Hammer was a longtime Soviet-phile, and he explained to the Soviet ambassador that Carter was "clearly alarmed" at the prospect of losing to Reagan.
Hammer pleaded with the Russians for help.

Bkmrk.
Ted Kennedy contacted the Russians for help to get elected also.
No mention of that POS Ted Kennedy in 1983 ???
Ha, the Russians should pick up the loser.com domain—it’s for sale!
Armand Hammer himself was KGB connected.
Well, the Russians were smart enough not to put their stock in a simple minded fool like Jimmy Carter. BTW, why isn’t the bozo at the convention??
Carter = our second worst president. And I suspect he is bear death - he has a nasty form of cancer.
Look at his name: arm and hammer. Ring a bell? He also made a fortune trading with the USSR.
SJWs Always Lie.
SJWs Always Project.
SJWs Always Double Down.
Carter expressed his concern about and opposition to Reagan’s defense buildup. He boldly told Dobrynin that Moscow would be better off with someone else in the White House.
Utterly beyond the pale. Disloyal. Treasonous. To co CRAWLING to an implacable ENEMY of your own nation.
Nice Red October reference :-)
Priceless.
Trump needs to bring this up if the Rats continue to accuse him concerning the #DNCLeaks.
As my dear Mother would say “that man is a rotter!”
Referring, first to FDR and then all of the Kennedy clan, “ROTTERS!”
Farter should be indicted, for treason.
Have illegals build a special prison, just for him, in Alaska, as close to his beloved Soviet Union as possible. I’d like him to have to move heavy rocks back and forth in the snow all day, for no reason. We built that canal, Jimmy.
This Peanut used to be the most powerful man on Earth. An ignorant electorate gave him the nuclear codes cause they were mad at Jerry Ford for pardoning Trick Dicky (what a stupid thing for an election to turn on) and because White Southerners thought he was one of them, ha!
Imagine Carter as President during WW2, we’d be typing in Russian right now, or we would be but of course free speech wouldn’t exist.
And we have another traitor in the WH right now. The whole rat party, traitors and/or mental defectives.
And GD Hillary, we need to keep her OUT, vote Trump/Pence Republican.
His cancer is in remission.
Jimmuh was a real treasure, about the worst the Dems could’ve coughed up in ‘76. George Wallace without the charm. If they’d have put up someone competent like Scoop Jackson, a foreign policy hawk, Reagan would’ve had a tough road in ‘80 (although domestically, his policies wouldn’t have differed from Nixon/Ford/Carter).
It’s unfortunate that Reagan didn’t have a shot in ‘76 in the general, but he would’ve been stymied dreadfully by the hugh post-Watergate moonbat majority had he won. Alas, the electorate often has to see us hit rock bottom before they start putting the right people in office again (why Trump will probably win this time around).
Good movie.
