Watching Jack Bryan’s explosive documentary “Active Measures,” about Russia’s espionage program and the effect it had on the 2016 U.S. presidential election, could be likened to watching a 21st century version of Watergate.
[snip]
a bevy of interviews with key Washington figures including former CIA director James Woolsey, former United States Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, former F.B.I. special agent Clint Watts, Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Via these interviews “Active Measures” constructs a powerful argument as to how Soviet modern warfare tactics – “active measures” — shifted the 2016 U.S. presidential elections and weakened Western democracy. The film also meticulously documents Trump’s problematic financial relationship with the Russian oligarchy that began decades ago.
“Russians have a particular type of mark who they go after,” explains one of the film’s interview subjects, senator Sheldon Whitehouse. “They go after somebody who has business resources, perhaps some shady morals so they are amenable to bribery or perhaps are in a difficult financial situation and (someone who) has political connections or aspirations. I’ve just described Donald Trump. He was the perfect mark for the Russians.”
Talking heads also point to New York’s Trump Tower as a “money laundering paradise” full of shell companies. Watts says that by Russia using cheaper tactics than traditional warfare – i.e. — propaganda, media manipulation and funding extremist groups – they were able to divide the U.S. in 2016. “By dividing a nation we can’t protect ourselves from threats within or without,” says Watts.
While Bryan as well as the docu’s producers, Marley Clements and Laura DuBois, are looking forward to the film’s HotDocs premiere, they are also aware that the movie’s subject matter could lead to personal safety issues, which is why the trio has hired a security team and are “watching what they drink.”

I didn’t believe any of this until I learned that Trump’s charity foundation had received $145,000,000 from Russians in return for selling them 20% of US uranium reserves and that he had received $500,000 for a fifteen minute speech in Moscow.
ROFLMAO.
Then a FISA warrant should reveal all the Russian communications...
/s
When dead Red Ted Kennedy colluded with the Soviets to alter the outcome of the 1984 election, was he Putin’s puppet or working or some other Commie?
Democrats don’t divide the country.
Its all Roosia’s and Trump’s fault!
Russian Collusion helps them to avoid dealing with their defeat.
Actually you just described Hillary Clinton. STFU.
No, this krap too damned absurd for ANYONE to actually BELIEVE it. But, they only know two things apparently...
1. Americans fear the Russians at least from the threat of the soviet days
and
2. Soroznazi wants to create a Nazified America (and world), not so much a communist one (yes, I know there’s very very little difference...but Soroz is still acting our his WW2 Nazism... and at that time, the commies and the national socialists were enemies)
“They go after somebody who has business resources, perhaps some shady morals so they are amenable to bribery or perhaps are in a difficult financial situation and (someone who) has political connections or aspirations. I’ve just described
BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON!!!!! Hillary was the perfect mark for the Russians.”
“I’ve just described Donald Trump.”

“Do they actually believe this stuff?”
Some sure seem to. Then again they’re Lefties so they would lie in any case.
LOL. Good one. :D
Exactly!!!
Brilliant! I only wanted to add that the movie is narrated by that trash mouthed dingbat that masqueraded as a comedian at the Correspondents’ Dinner.

If Putin were the mastermind of evil they make him out to be, they’d already be dead. They wouldnt be making a film.
Baloney. If Trump were really working for Russia, why wouldn’t Clapper and Brennan have had a car accident or plane crash? Those ex-KGB agents are at least as good as Hillary’s goons. Look what happened to Ron Brown, not to mention that “suicide” in Ft Marcy Park.
There are dead bodies all around Hillary, and we are supposed to believe the KGB has been supporting TRUMP? Give me a break.
1. consisting of official pieces of written, printed, or other matter.
"his book is based on documentary sources"
synonyms: recorded, documented, registered, written, chronicled, archived, on record, on paper, in writing "documentary evidence"
noun
1.
a movie or a television or radio program that provides a factual record or report.
By definition, the crap that these liberal hacks, like Moore, put out is not a documentary because it is not a factual record or report. It is twisted beyond credibility to promote and substantiate the lies they tell.
