We don’t all “love America equally:”
Why does the GOP and Drumpf voters love Mother Russia so much?
No wonder NATO is freaking out…
“There should be no fuzz on this whatsoever. The Russians interfered in our election during the 2016 cycle…"
Did anyone catch Burr’s introductory bit where he described the Russian meddling as “possible”? Warner diplomatically countered him in his own intro, and of course, Comey did as well … but I thought it was stunning that Burr, the head of the team, would try and get away with that bullshit.
Some of what Comey was surely talking about was stuff like Russian troll shops:
And then there are public relations folks who are friends of Trump and have offices in Moscow and New York:
Mr. Caputo works for a Russian at this firm:
Maybe these guys are clean but it shows how easily Russian connections show up in public relations in this bizarre era of Putin business law.
If I understand correctly, the FBI is the primary counter-espionage agency in the US.
That means that the former director’s views on Russian attempts to interfere in the election are especially important.
The fact that he spoke so vehemently about the threat that were posed by Russia’s interference should be taken very seriously.
Unfortunately the Republican attempts to treat this as more of a trial of Trump (with their concomitant attempts to sow doubt everywhere), rather than an investigation to seek facts, seriously undermines Mr. Comey’s attempts to alert the nation to a serious threat.
