Russia and Influence Campaigns Influence operations

Damn right they do.

How the hell do you think we wound up with Obama?

[elpadre]

Be honest now!! Russia has been attacking the USA one way or another since the Cold War heated up. Read the two books authored by J. Edgar Hoover in to 50’s or 60’s and learn how bad it was back then. It has never slacked.

The media seems to think it is new and that it because of Donald Trump. They are so incompetent, so shallow!

“anti - US”

Define.

To me, this reads AKA anti-Democrat ONLY. In fact, the Democrat ARE anti-US now. They do not want it to exist.

Oxymorons-

Here we go again. Are these people useless or do they actually do something about it?

Flippin yahoo...they can't get the story to match the picture description

CIA, FBI, National Intelligence, National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency...
what agency is "National Intelligence?"


"FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director Mike Pompeo, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Defense Intelligence Agency Director Robert Ashley, National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Director Robert Cardillo testify before the Senate Intelligence..."

Well yes, I was wondering who would see the obvious, which didn’t need a fancy formatter either, but you get a nice little red star for it.

If Russians can hack our elections, so can other parties. What’s so special about Russia.

[SoConPubbie]

This is just the deep-state intelligence community setting the stage so they can declare an eventual win by Republicans of the 2018 mid-terms as fake because of Russian intervention.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Somehow Russians don’t matter when they like Democrats, however.

[Heart of Georgia]

Looks like The Swamp intends to taint every election with their Russia meme.

Let’s go back to paper ballots.

[SoConPubbie]

Yup, almost like a Law of Science or Math.

Its a given!

[fella]

Paper ballots filled out in person by people with a picture I.D. are hard to hack with a computer. They also give a more accurate count.

Good. If the Rats take Congress, it can all be invalidated until a lengthy investigation is completed. ;-P

What if Putin’s minions try to foster a Dem victory in Nov on the belief that not only would the govt be divided and paralyzed but impeachment efforts would threaten the markets and cause economic chaos. And here is the variable, what if, public words aside, Puti and Soros are acting in concert.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“Russia has a long way to go to negatively influence elections if they want to compete with Comey and Obama.”

Not a bad tagline.

[asinclair]

Here's a fun little exercise for you: Take the January 2017 Office of the Director of National Intelligence report referenced in the Yahoo article, and read through it. Where appropriate, insert "Democratic operatives" et.al. for "Russian operatives" et.al., and flip the Clinton/Trump references. Note particularly how the mainstream media was equally lopsided in favor of Clinton. See how the parallel construction works?

[Secret Agent Man]

So anything against democrats is russian meddling.

Sure.

Incredible BS.

[Secret Agent Man]

No they would be covering uranium one and demanding hillary be brought up on charges.
