Three of America's top adversaries are actively meddling in U.S. presidential politics ahead of the November election, including efforts by Russia to advance President Donald Trump's reelection efforts, according to a public statement issued Friday by the U.S. intelligence community.
"We assess that Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia 'establishment,'" the statement said, adding that, "Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump's candidacy on social media and Russian television."
Providing an example of Russia's influence measures, the statement noted that "pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach is spreading claims about corruption -- including through publicizing leaked phone calls -- to undermine former Vice President Biden's candidacy and the Democratic Party." Last year, Derkach reportedly took part in a scheme to leak years-old calls between Biden and then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.

"We assess that China prefers that President Trump -- whom Beijing sees as unpredictable -- does not win reelection," the statement said. "China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China's interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China."

Notice how it points out that calls between Biden and Porchenko are “years old”. About 4 or 5 years I would guess.

Deja vu all over again.
Can you blame the Ruskies?
It was the ChiComs interfering then and now.

Because the release of truthful information is somehow anti-American and biased toward a party or outcome.
The Dims have been on the same logical bubble since the Wikileaks exposure of the DNC.
The truth is now pernicious.
Aw geez, not this sh&t again.
China doesn’t prefer Biden family who have received millions in Chinese money?
........... I just can’t shake the feeling that the Democrat Socialists are setting everything up by using the Federal Election to wield the final death blow to America as a Constitutional Republic ....... Heck ... We can’t even use our tried and true Election System this time ....... We are heading into a new era of massive Chaos and Confusion if they manage to pull this off ....
Russia will put on an appearance of supporting the President in smaller social media sites and oppose him in larger ones. That’s what happened last time. The effort in general is to destroy public trust in our form of government and foment chaos. Obviously to all, both Russian and China are in favor of the candidates who would be the weakest president.
Try again asshat.
[Little typo correction here.]

At worst they cancel each other out. Actually, CCP intelligence presence in the U.S. probably dwarfs the Russians.
