DHS Suppressed Intel About Russia Attacking Biden Mental Health

The Department of Homeland Security intervened to stop the release of an intelligence bulletin that detailed a Russian scheme to attack Democratic nominee Joe Biden by alleging his poor mental health. Those allegations track with an attack President Donald Trump has been lobbing at his rival for more than a year.

If the Russians are attacking Biden’s mental health, it just confirms that that is Biden’s least vulnerable area, and Fat Nixon’s most vulnerable.

Mitch attacked Obama four years ago claiming he was “Putting a thumb on the scale” when he wanted to warn about Russian interference. Tell me Mitch. What is this? It sure appears to be Fat Nixon standing on the scale.

Really working for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA aren’t you? Corrupt, venal grifters. I want everyone of them tried in a court of law after this whole miserable time is over. No ‘Mr. Nice Guy’ from the Democrats. NONE.

So the Trump DHS is working with Russian Intelligence, either formally or informally, depending on how you read this story.

That’s just swell.

“This is a shocking abdication of its lawful responsibility…"

This is not just a lawless administration. It’s also now a lawless federal government. If the Democrats can manage to beat this rigged system they MUST hold these department heads responsible for their crimes.

I reported to the local police some suspicious Russians living down the street. I realized I was mistaken when I saw the father changing the oil in his car while wearing a track suit. Definitely Bosnians.

Wolf is not Trump. He may think that his toys are as powerful as Trump’s, but he is just a functionary in a corrupt system.

Expendable.

Eliminate DHS and restructure the components. FBI to the judicial branch, for example.

I would not be at all surprised to learn that the “birther” conspiracy was first put to him by his Russian masters. He owes Russian banks money and Putin is blackmailing him to conceal this from us.

This is a shocking abdication of its lawful responsibility to keep the Congress currently informed, and a betrayal of the public’s right to know how foreign powers are trying to subvert our democracy,” wrote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) in a joint statement.

It’s an abdication of responsibility to use the vapid “abdication of responsibility” argument in preference to the more factually accurate and proportionate “GOP in cahoots with Russia” assertion, particularly as Trump’s approval ratings crash whenever the topic of national conversation is his dealings with Russia.
