A Friday news-dump so big it basically broke TPM comment sections.
Sad!

Thanks, Obama!
Trump Campaign Staffers Pushed Russian Propaganda Days Before the Election
President Trumpâs son Donald Trump Jr. followed the account until its closure on Aug. 23 of this year. Trump Jr. retweeted the account three times, including an allegation of voter fraud in Florida one week before the election.
âBREAKING:
#VoterFraud by counting tens of thousands of ineligible mail in Hillary
votes being reported in Broward County, Florida Please, RT,â the tweet
read.
That last line was a bit gratuitous. We already knew Trump was a low-information voter.
Trump lies.
He has deep ties to Russians. Of course he knew their propaganda plans.
Trump, too, made numerous false claims about Democratic voter fraud in the runup to the 2016 election.
Huh. Well, thatâs kind of a funny coincidence.
So when does the investigation into Kris Koback begin?
Because thereâs no way on Godâs Green Earth that the king of âvoter fraudâ had zero contact with the indicted.
Check out the 3r paragraph and the second link. The article says the propaganda about Broward County came out âa weekâ before the election. Roger Stone spread his bullshit about Broward County thirteen days before the election. Coincidence???
On Wednesday, the Florida Republican partyâs top official, Blaise
Ingoglia, sent a letter to the head of Browardâs elections supervisor,
Brenda Snipes, alleging that she and her staff had been illegally
opening and sorting âtens of thousandsâ of absentee ballots without
proper oversight by an independent canvassing board.
âŚThe allegation instantly resonated with some Republicans who have been
fed a diet of claims by their nominee, Donald Trump, that the Democrats
will somehow seek to cheat their way to victory next Tuesday and that
unspecified rigging of the vote is going on.
âŚAlso still lurking was a seemingly unfounded claim made by Roger Stone, a
one-time political advisor to former President Richard Nixon and today
one of the loudest pro-Trump voices in the land, that Ms Clinton last
month held a secret meeting with Ms Snipes during a campaign stop in
South Florida, implying they were colluding to fix the outcome in her
county.
Roger Stone fails to provide photos of alleged Clinton meeting with Snipes
One of the nationâs most notorious political dirty tricksters
insinuated Browardâs elections chief could be on Hillary Clintonâs side,
but has not provided promised proof.
Roger Stone, a Donald Trump
supporter pushing the idea that the elections are rigged, claimed
Wednesday that Clinton met privately with Browardâs elections chief, Dr.
Brenda Snipes. Both sides deny it.
Stone promised that photos of
the meeting would be available âshortlyâ on the website infowars.com.
But two days later, there were no photos on the website.
Funny how he knew where to look.
Trump wants to know how to pardon Russians.
Poof!
(That is the sound that an elephant makes when suddenly becoming visible to everyone in the room).
Trump will no doubt claim that this proves he didnât collude with anyone.
He already has. This is literally whistling past the graveyard. BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kris Kobach: willing colluder or useful idiot? Inquiring minds want to know.
The Kremlin operation that interfered in the 2016 campaign stoked fears of voter fraud in advance of election day, purchasing ads on Facebook and using the #VoterFraud hashtag on Twitter, according to an indictment of 13 Russian nationals filed by Robert Muellerâs probe on Friday.
So happy to see Kris Koback of Kansas (KKK) being exposed as a Russian agent.
Imagine Jeb Bushâs chagrin. As governor he was the one to originally appoint Ms. Snipes elections supervisor after election mishaps did in her predecessor.
Too lateâŚhe already has.
Trump campaign; âYouâre doing what?â
Stone: âDude, the Russians are totally ready to go full psy-ops to help you, so Iâm working with them.â
Trump campaign: âThatâs awesome! But weâre going to have to distance ourselves from you while you do it, k? So youâre hereby âfiredâ hahaha!â
This brings back memories of fights with liberals on Facebook claiming that they couldnât vote for Hillary because of all the bad things she didâŚit looks like a lot of their reasons were pushed by Russia. The minority vote part is not something the Russians would have done on their own. Someone with experience in US politics had to have pointed out to them how to target certain groups with specific propaganda for it to have the largest effect.
And, I love how the Republicans are crowing âno collusion!â, when we have no idea what Mueller is going to pull out of his hat next. This is not even close to the end of indictmentsâŚthe nature of this one, and the details inside it, means they have more connections to follow and far more information than anyone thought. All it takes is one stray email chain that has a forwarded email from someone in the Trump campaign to light this whole thing up, and we already know from the Trump Jr. meeting emails that they are not at all aware of how to use email intelligently.
I vote for both.
He may be the first Russian agent to get elected governor of Kansas, my home state.
