One of the documents describes Putin and senior officials overseeing proxy efforts to spread claims that Biden, as vice president, engaged in criminal activity in his dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. The document says operatives affiliated with the Russian government advanced these narratives with U.S. officials and other prominent figures, through personal interactions as well as audio and documentary releases via U.S. and Ukrainian outlets.
It goes on to say these figures were conspiring to intensify their efforts as the election approached, aiming to “orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal” implicating Biden and the Democratic Party in order to help Trump win.
The document describes an intelligence assessment that Russian government-linked proxies were working to damage Biden’s candidacy ahead of the vote, relying in part on U.S. officials and other prominent people to amplify the narratives, though many of the people involved remain redacted in the public version.
Just look at what he does, and ignore the noises coming out of his hamberder-hole. He’s serving up everything Putin wants on a schlocky gold-plated platter.
He’s serving up everything Putin wants
In 2018, the Trump administration approved a landmark $47 million military sale of 210 Javelin missiles to Ukraine, marking the first time the U.S. provided lethal aid to the country. Additionally, in July of that year, the Pentagon released $200 million in security assistance to Ukraine.
In September 2018, President Trump signed into law a 2019 spending bill that included $250 million in Defense Department funding for direct military aid to Ukraine.
All of this came with strings attached, of course.
The Kushner/Witkoff draft proposal for a negotiated settlement between Russia and Ukraine included a provision that the United States would receive “50 percent of profits” from the “venture” of rebuilding Ukraine’s destroyed infrastructure. Their view seems to be that peace is an asset to be leveraged and maximized.
Further… BlackRock had been enlisted to help build a strategy for what President Volodymyr Zelensky has called an $800 billion “prosperity plan.”
The meeting, held at BlackRock’s headquarters, kick-started work on identifying funding sources and investment priorities, according to three officials familiar with the conversation, who requested anonymity to discuss a closed-door meeting. More details are expected to be unveiled this week at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
But in Kyiv and other European capitals, BlackRock’s role has generated more questions than answers, as the Trump administration steers plans for rebuilding Ukraine toward American business interests. Seven European and Ukrainian officials, who asked for anonymity to discuss sensitive talks, voiced doubts about BlackRock’s ability to attract the enormous investments envisioned. Some indicated that the firm’s involvement could turn away potential investors.
Crazy to think this is the shadowy hand of Vladimir Putin, when it has Trump’s immediate family and biggest American donors with their fingerprints all over it.
@UnderpantsWeevil @phutatorius Drop a load of drones on their heads filled with large bottles of ketchup.
He and his handlers know: they can literally release the truth, maga won’t read it anyway. And will believe his spoken lies and not the printed truth.
Because they have accepted the last part: do not believe the evidence of your eyes. Just listen and obey the the sect leader.
It seems more likely to me that they just fucked up.
True, they are indeed exceptionally incompetent. It’s just; I think it also no longer matters “what the truth is” for these people (MAGA). They just ignore it, they just no longer know what the truth is and just “fall back” to following dear leader. “He probably has a plan!”
I’d call it “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Not so much fucked up, they just threw everything out without caring what was on it, and they simply declared “this proves us right, shut up”. And nobody is going to do anything about the fact that it proves them wrong. Say something, maybe, do something, not happening from anyone who can do anything.
So if the Dems ever get on control they can look at these unredacted files and arrest the traitors. Right? And Biden didn’t do that because?
Because Merrick Garland absofuckinglutly needs to go down as the biggest fucking coward in this nations history.
He sat on his hands for 2 fucking years because he “didn’t want to look political.” Which of course gave Trump enough time to have his pet “Judge” Alieen Cannon delay delay delay delay until he won the election.
Well Merrick is a conservative - he’s a member of the Federalist society. He is certainly not an outright shithead like Alito, but don’t mistake fascist sympathies for cowardice.
Granted he may also be a coward separately.
And Biden knew that but appointed him anyway.
I’ll never get over Biden saying we need a Republican party as well. Fuck, we don’t need the Democrats, why do we need hyper fascists?
100% of fascists are cowards.
Garland would have been a good Justice, but in a position where rapid action is required, not so much.
Can we stop acting like it’s individual democrats that don’t have a spine? The entire party is controlled opposition. They’ve never once taken advantage of an opportunity to do better for the American people.
So, by his own account - Trump is guilty of treason. The current president of the United States of America has admitted to/provided evidence showing he has committed treason in order to become your commander-in-cheif.
How does that make you feel America? Are you actually going to do something about it now?
[To be clear, this is addressed to ALL of americas citizens - Including military and police personnel. Ofc average citizens would be afraid to do much more than protest when these people are protected by law enforcement, but will law enforcement continue to protect these people now, is the real question.]
will law enforcement continue to protect these people now, is the real question.
Yes
Law enforcement’s history was union busting and slave hunting. It has never served the good of the common man but the manipulative whims of the wealthy.
Don’t forget that he was elected as a convicted felon, and those felonies were largely committed in the process of cheating in the 2016 election.
This is yet another page, or maybe a new chapter at most, in the same old story.
By his own account, and many many others. Too bad you can only execute a motherfucker once.
No reason not to try more than once though.
At this point, I am almost hoping for a civil war. We seriously need to clean house and overhaul everything to prevent this bullshit for the next couple of centuries.
Obligatory “if any other president did this…”
“…to do much more than protest…”
It’d be great if they would protest the orange child rapist.Yeah, sure, when their Gestapo kill people there are a few small protests. However the protests about the demented wobbling bag of syphilis are severely lacking.
Good. Now what’s going to be done about it?
lol. Next you’ll ask if the upcoming election will happen (fairly). :D
Russia, like China and the USA and Saudi Arabia and Israel, spend money and time on every Presidential election, whichever candidate they think will suit their interests more (as they always do).
We were aware of this when we allowed “Super PACs” to funnel money directly to bOtH pArTiEs without that pesky middleman (the law). So… of course we have President Trump, he is the end result of our own party’s unlimited greed.
When your government is for sale, you get what they pay for. I’d wager Musk and Bezos spent much more money on the last campaign than Russia, this is a “red herring”.
We did what now?
Super PACs became possible due to the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizen’s United decision. “We” had nothing to do with it, just like “we” had nothing to do with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade.
“We” do desperately need another 5 SC justices.
YES - expand the court. it’s needed beyond this corrupt cabal; the sitting court can’t handle the caseload. expand the court and refigure the circuit courts instead of this mishmash - it’s beyond time to remedy this one part of our judiciary, and it’s something congress (blue wave) could do in short order.
I mean I already knew. Surprised it took this long. Yet, republicans probably disregard this
Huh. I wonder why he was never punished for this shit under the biden admin
Four years of “Merrick Garland is a professional and he is just making sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed before prosecuting trump”.
we have to call out people more on stalling and kick out the people who legitimately believe such flimsy excuses for being shit managers.
Some of this might just be generational differences; I remember people in school told me a lot about how penmanship mattered, and I think for their generations (x/boomer) it did. Let’s not criticize people for cultural differences just because we don’t understand them.
its the go-to for stalling. dont buy into it. it is a shit excuse to be buying into anyways.
Trump’s supporters would be furious if they could read
They would only be furious that reality exists
So does this mean the claims were true?
🌍 🧑🚀 🔫 🧑🚀
Omg who could have an interest in influencing USA elections?
Is it Russia, China, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, various other petro states, blah blah, Israel! Yes it’s Israel for fuck sake
RuSsIa hOAx tHo
Is this when the maga base will drop their support, will the not care or will they just never hear about it
On the off chance they do hear about it, they will immediately dismiss it as deep-state lies. No further thoughts on the matter will be needed.
Sadly, this is probably exactly what they will do. I still have a FB to connect with older relatives, locating yardsales or neighbors that belong to the pet running down the road.
Our local neighborhood area’s group is either all bots or total idiots. Regular use of ‘fake media’ or ‘demonrat propaganda’ on anything that dares to question their dear leader.
Why would they? They like Putin, and they want his interference in US politics. They just don’t like it to be publicly known.
to “orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal”
Does this mean they have proof against Biden or was everything fabricated?
