Russian actors made a widely circulated video falsely depicting mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in Pennsylvania, U.S. officials said Friday.

A video that showed mail-in ballots for Trump apparently being destroyed in a suburban Philadelphia county took off quickly on social media Thursday afternoon.

U.S. officials said in a statement sent by the FBI that they believe the video was “manufactured and amplified” by Russian actors. The officials say it’s part of “Moscow’s broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the U.S. election and stoke divisions among Americans.”

The information was released in a joint statement by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

If the FBI says so, they wouldn’t LIE to the American Citizens, would they?

I had my doubts about that video. But now that they tell me it’s “Russian actors”, well, now I KNOW that video is the real deal.

That video was obviously a hoax. No one fell for it.

But now the FBI can scream about “Russian Disinformation”

Yeah this story is way more fishy than the one it is talking about. It is too bad that we can’t trust our own anymore. Only Trump can fix that if he seriously chooses to do so.

Probably true if the FBI (and 1000 intel ops) have touted it as Russian disinformation.

We can expect that every showing of the truth will be blamed on “Russian actors” now. Because you KNOW that the people that stole the 2020 election will try like hell to steal 2024.

I believe it. Russia wants Kamala, so why not try to get Republicans not to vote early?
