in reply to Nonilex • • •4 yrs ago, the #Senate Intelligence Cmte UNANIMOUSLY endorsed the #US #intelligence community’s conclusion that #Russia intervened in the 2016 election in an effort to boost #Trump.
But Trump, who has repeatedly described the probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election as a “hoax,” is dismissing them this time around, too.

in reply to Nonilex • • •“The Justice Dept said #Russia may be involved in our elections again,” #Trump told the crowd at his rally. “And, you know, the whole world laughed at them this time.”
Trump’s comments appeared to reference #DOJ’s #indictment Wed of 2 Russia-based employees of Russia’s state-run news site, #RT, in an alleged scheme in which they paid an American media company to spread English-language videos on YouTube,TikTok,Instagram & X.

in reply to Nonilex • • •“It’s Russia, Russia, Russia all over again. But they don’t look at China & they don’t look at Iran. They look at Russia. I don’t know what it is with poor Russia,” #Trump said.
[POOR #RUSSIA?]
Trump’s rally…, was billed as focused on “draining the swamp,” but featured a stump speech that meandered from familiar attacks on inflation & jobs to falsehoods about sex-change operations for minors, #ConspiracyTheories about govt employment statistics & dismissals of Russian #ElectionInterference.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The #indictments were part of the #Biden admin’s most sweeping effort yet to tackle what it described as Russian #disinformation campaigns ahead of the November election.
…#Trump, who has often boasted about his relationship w/ #Putin & claimed w/o evidence that #Russia would never have invaded #Ukraine if he was president, has expressed deep skepticism about continuing #US military aid to Ukraine.
