The group of foreign officials who aided former President Trump and his circle in their search for dirt on President Biden were Russian agents, according to new report from the intelligence community.
I wonder why Trump kept demeaning and attacking the intelligence community, and I wonder why Republicans, such staunch supporters of law enforcement and the intelligence community in the past, suddenly fell in line with Trump???
The report also said that conspiracy theories put forth by Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani that the results of the 2020 election were, in fact, the result of an international communist conspiracy run by deceased Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez were … completely bogus.

How’s that “no collusion!!!” argument going for the GOP now?
The intelligence report frames those narratives as part of a Russian influence campaign managed in part by the FSB, the country’s successor agency to the KGB. One Ukrainian official who met with Giuliani — parliamentarian Andriy Derkach — was acting at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the report said.
Not quite true, but also kinda true and then also truish.
After the breakup of the USSR, the KGB’s former authority and jurisdiction was divided between the GRU, Russian military intelligence, the FSB, which was supposed to take over counterintelligence, internal security and border security, and the SVR was supposed to take over the brief of the KGB’s First Directorate and become it’s chief foreign intelligence service.
In practice, it isn’t that tidy and all three agencies trample all over each other’s area’s of responsibilities. So FSB isn’t supposed to do foreign intelligence work but it does, the GRU is supposed to do only military intelligence but does far more spying and black ops than the SVR. Because rule of law isn’t a thing of Russia and empire building is.
Why is he not in prison, or being tried for treason? I sure hope President Biden doesn’t allow him to get any more briefings from the Intelligence Community.
Which is exactly what you would expect a corrupt Deep State intent on undermining the Will of the People to install whomever it wants to as President to say.
No surprise that a story on bogus claims and Russian agents, that doofus is referenced.
Telizhenko was sanctioned last month, after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) spent part of 2020 pushing to include him in a Senate investigation that pushed the same claims that the intelligence community says are Russian propaganda.
