Russia worked to damage Biden in 2020 election, US intelligence report finds – as it happened
Guardi | 16/3/21

Posted on 03/17/2021 1:39:31 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in its declassified report, says that Moscow viewed the prospect of Joe Biden’s election to the White House in 2020 as potentially disadvantageous to Russia’s interests and that drove their efforts to undermine his candidacy.

“We have high confidence in this assessment,” the report says.

The primary race for the Democratic nomination was just the start.

“Moscow’s range of influence actors uniformly worked to denigrate President Biden after his entrance into the race. Throughout the primaries and the general election campaign, Russian influence agents repeatedly spread … claims against Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.”

It then goes on to say that Moscow worked online to promote candidates it viewed as “outside what it perceives to be an anti-Russia political establishment”.

After Biden had won the election, Moscow continued its covert influence campaign to question the result.

Russia forced him to hide in the basement and make stupid gaffes? Russia planted Hunter's laptop at a computer repair shop and made him leave it there? Russia made Hunter's lawyer call the shop and demand the laptop's return? Russia forced a business associate of Biden's to go on the record regarding his bribery scheme with China? Whew. Russia's been busy. No wonder the MSM and big tech studiously ignored it all.

Thank you. Thank you, dear smart people!/s

They didn’t do a very good job. China was more competent in damaging Trunk, unfortunately.

Not worth the paper to wipe the a$$ with.

These are the exact same people who pushed the pee-pee hoax and broke innumerable laws.

For years.

It’s easier to fool a democrat than convince him he’s been fooled.

I thought Trump won in ‘16 by colluding with Russians, but in ‘20 the Ruskies can’t pull it off against Slow Joe?

Disinformation must be slightly credible. This doesn’t cut it.

You have penned the post I had in mind! You explained the real damage to Biden, the ham handed manipulation the whole campaign demonstrated. Now, somehow, the Democrats need to find a way of blaming the Trump supporters for they’re own stupidity and corruption. Why? Because they won, or because they know they did not? A steal is a steal, Democrats, eat it, own it, and don’t come cryin to us about it.

Shall we talk about all the election interference committed by the USA in Russia?

And shall we talk about election interference by the Chinese in support of the Democrats?

What’s that? Crickets?

I’m no big foreign policy wonk but I’d need to be sold on this one. Sounds like utter crap.

As if anyone believes Pravda the Guardian. Whilst studying in the U.K. a while back, another student (not real STEM but marshmallow reading, so questionable) wanted me to take the Guardian instead of the Times for a while. What a leftist rag. They make CNN appear believable, although I must admit their writers are far better than the NYT leftist hacks.

Ahhh that old chestnut. Taking a page from the hillary handbook. When Trump wins in 2024 in a landslide over the kamala and pelosi ticket and the economy is in shambles and even the illegals won’t vote for them then they will find it a lie..

Which of the two would be easier to deceive, push around, and/or ignore?

Russia wouldn’t have had to try very hard. Biden is a vegetable.
