Your regular reminder that basically all of the most unhinged resist-lib Russiagate stuff was actually true and the Trump administration just successfully covered it up by interfering in and shutting down the investigation (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2024/08/21/t...
The F.B.I. raided the homes of two prominent commentators on Russian state television channels as part of an effort to blunt attempts to influence November’s election.
Generally overlooked fact: that a case isn’t sound enough to support an indictment does NOT mean it is not true and correct.
It was/is very hard to care when a bunch of AIPAC Democrats started whining about "foreign influence on our elections". "He takes bribes from Russia and Egypt (bad) instead of Qatar and Raytheon (acceptable)". Not hard to see why the issue failed to break through to most people.
Even if this is true... regarding the resist-libs, you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to them"
Good .. perhaps they could look in on Manafort, Stone, Bannon and Jared and Ivanka also?
Not saying this is the "real" reason, but if Scott Ritter is having his computers taken away, it's probably worth mentioning he's been caught 3 times trying to meet underage girls for sex. If he's also guilty of FARA, fuck him for that too I guess. www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna45049...
AA former United Nations weapons inspector convicted in an online sex sting has been sentenced to up to 5 1/2 years behind bars.
well that can't be right, because then all the leftists who tut-tutted about "political dynasties" and pshawed that there wouldn't really be any difference between a trump or a Clinton presidency anyway would have been acting terribly wrongly and irresponsibly! and they'd never do that!
This reminder is especially relevant today in context of the Palestinian-Americans @ DNC speaking slot situation
“Can’t get me on obstruction of justice if I obstruct the obstruction of justice investigation.”

The "most unhinged" Russiagate stuff was "the Russians hacked our election and Putin stole it for Trump", which AFAICT is still unambiguously not remotely true.
