Re: How Russia hacked the Democrats email

Right wing media largely suppressed that President Trump met in closed door discussions with senior Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov yesterday in the White House on Dec 10th for the second time since elected.

All this happened on the same day that charges of impeachment were read out against President Trump.

The last time Lavrov visited the White House in May 2017, President trump was reported to have disclosed highly classified information to him about US intelligence sharing arrangements. The US Intelligence community was so concerned that they had to extricate their best human intelligence asset inside the Kremlin over fears for that person's safety. That individual was so well placed that he was able to take pictures of documents on Putin's desk.

Just the previous day, Lavrov met Ukrainian Prime Minister Zelensky in Paris to discuss peace talks and agree to a ceasefire between the two countries with Russian President Putin in attendance. Zelensky, a former comedian with little international experience, had to negotiate his countries future unsure if the USA had his back. No senior US representative attended the meeting.

Unfortunately, the only back trump has is his own. He has proven over and over that he is loyal only to himself. As soon as a person has no more usefulness or they say something that trump deems derogatory he disposes of them. Yet there are still many in line eager to climb onto that bus. It is confusing.

You make it sound like the "Right wing media" tried to bury this and not report on it for some reason....? Why it "looks" like "right wing media" didn't report on this is because when you search it on google, CNN is almost the WHOLE first page!! But if you keep on scrolling, you'll find the "Righties" out there.
And besides, with the left wing media BLASTING it everywhere like it's a crime that they (POTUS and Russian) are visiting, they've already got the story "covered" and out there, so the Right wing media can then focus on more important stories.

And as for the "agent" that had to be removed, our own media is partly to blame for spewing the rhetoric and creating the un-easy feeling. They have a habit of doing that.

Re: How Russia hacked the Democrats email

On the day of and the day after, I carefully searched Fox News, there was no mention of the meeting. If the meeting was on their webpage somewhere it was very hard to find. On Fox News night time talk shows there was definitely no talk of the meeting.

I like reading Fox news because it often has different non political content than CNN/ CNBC / CBS/ PBS/ CBC or BBC.

Speaking of the meeting, in the White House press conference afterwards, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov publicly denied Russian interference in the US election and suggested that the Ukraine was the villian. 100% of the US Intelligence community has concluded that Russian interfered in the US election.

Essentially Russia just shit on the US in the White House!

If this happened during the Obama administration Republican minds would have blown in technicolour!

Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, was standing right next to Lavrov and made very mild comments about election interference.

The Kemlins effort to politically undermine and weaken the USA has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams!

This is why President Trump is such a clear and present danger to the US constitution and why he is being impeached.

Yes, the US economy and jobs numbers are great but the debt grows out of control every day, public institutions are being attacked every day and the country has never been more internally conflicted. Plus it is not as if a Democratic President would not have created great economic numbers based on the strong economy that President Obama built.

History will not remember President Trump kindly.

Putin responds that he was unaware that President Trump was in Moscow but that contradicts what President Trump told Fox News on Feb 10 2014. At the end Putin says, "please just disregard this issue".

Trump quickly says a few words, tries to change the topic, attacks a FBI agent and ends the press event.

Russia's Talking Points Sound so familiar I wonder WHO!

Putin Hints at Holding Power Past 2024, and Defends Trump on Impeachment


Russia’s president mused about repealing the term limit he faces, and echoed Republican talking points saying that impeachment was a baseless bid to reverse the 2016 election.


Just hours after President Trump became only the third American leader to be impeached, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Thursday mocked what he described as an attempt by Democrats to reverse the 2016 election, and hinted that he could, himself, stay in power for many more years.


Taking questions for more than four hours at his annual end-of-year news conference, the Russian president embraced Republican talking points, deriding the impeachment process in Washington as baseless and destined to fail.


“This is nothing but a continuation of an internal political struggle, with the party that lost the election, the Democratic Party, trying to reach its goal by different means,” Mr. Putin said during the 15th edition of the news conference, a well-worn ritual that the president uses to parade his mastery of domestic policy detail and take swipes at political tumult overseas.


Mr. Putin was far less emphatic in his take on Russia’s own political affairs, particularly its next presidential election in 2024. He sidestepped a direct question about his future plans, while raising the possibility that Russia’s Constitution, which bars him from seeking another term, might be changed.

Moscow has been abuzz for months with speculation about whether Mr. Putin, who has been in power for 20 years, will step down at the end of his current and supposedly final term in 2024.

Re: How Russia hacked the Democrats email

With the USA Presidential election only nine months away, Russia is rolling out new tools designed to fool the American public into whom they should vote for.

Artificial intelligence is considered to be one of the prized technological innovations of the 2020s.

This brings the arrival of very sophisticated "Deep Fakes".

It has become really obvious in the last few years that information is being weaponized.

On other Rant threads on CTN, a few members often relay information from very extreme right wing websites that you really have to seek out to find. You have to wonder who is really behind some of these strongly biased websites.

We are on the verge of what is known as "Synthetic content" where very real looking people or very close copies of actual people seem to move and speak naturally but with the message of a third person. Potentially a cleverly disguised message from Russia's intelligence disinformation Dept.

Bernie Sanders "Bernie Bros" have recently been accused of very pointed attacks on Republican political figures. Bernie disavows and denounces all ties to this very small fraction of his supporters and suggests that they could possibly be in reality Russian disinformation trolls seeking to discredit his Presidential campaign.

Russia Backs Trump’s
Re-election, and He Fears Democrats Will Exploit Its Support
Intelligence officials warned House lawmakers last week that Russia was interfering in the 2020 campaign to try to get President Trump re-elected, five people familiar with the matter said, a disclosure to Congress that angered Mr. Trump, who complained that Democrats would use it against him.


The day after the Feb. 13 briefing to lawmakers, Mr. Trump berated Joseph Maguire, the outgoing acting director of national intelligence, for allowing it to take place, people familiar with the exchange said. Mr. Trump cited the presence in the briefing of Representative Adam B. Schiff, the California Democrat who led the impeachment proceedings against him, as a particular irritant.


During the briefing to the House Intelligence Committee, Mr. Trump’s allies challenged the conclusions, arguing that he has been tough on Russia and strengthened European security. Some intelligence officials viewed the briefing as a tactical error, saying that had the official who delivered the conclusion spoken less pointedly or left it out, they would have avoided angering the Republicans.


That intelligence official, Shelby Pierson, is an aide to Mr. Maguire who has a reputation of delivering intelligence in somewhat blunt terms. The president announced on Wednesday that he was replacing Mr. Maguire with Richard Grenell, the ambassador to Germany and long an aggressively vocal Trump supporter.


Though some current and former officials speculated that the briefing may have played a role in the removal of Mr. Maguire, who had told people in recent days that he believed he would remain in the job, two administration officials said the timing was coincidental. Mr. Grenell had been in discussions with the administration about taking on new roles, they said, and Mr. Trump had never felt a kinship with Mr. Maguire.


Spokeswomen for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and its election security office declined to comment. A White House spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Re: How Russia hacked the Democrats email

The new Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell is the current Ambassador to Germany. He plans to remain in that post and make the DNI his side gig. He is thought of as a ridiculous incompetent stooge of Donald Trump

Helping him will be Cash Patell, one of Devin Nunes top level assistants. Another extreme Trump loyalist.

Both men have zero National Intelligence experience.

At this moment, Fox News is suppressing this story line.

The Director serves as the head of the seventeen member National Intelligence Community. This includes the CIA, Office of Naval Intelligence, the Marine Core Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Agency and 13 other agencies.

United States Intelligence Community - Wikipedia

It is clear now that anyone in gov't who opposes Donald Trump cannot speak truth to power if they want to keep their job. Speaking truth to power is a cornerstone of the US Republic and that core value is under attack.

There is clear concern that President Trump is an intelligence risk.

Vladimir Putin is now President Trump's 2020 running mate.

Re: How Russia hacked the Democrats email

Due to the explosion of outrage on the left and very strong concerns from the Intelligence community, the Ambassador to Germany Richard Grennell will not get the job as acting Director of National Intelligence. A person is to be named shortly by the White House.

The current Director was scheduled to leave this post on March 12 2020. He was expected to stay on as permanent Director.

Imagine yourself as a complete rookie sitting across from a Marine 4 Star General and 13 other generals talking about deeply secret state intelligence matters. I expect they would size you up pretty quick.

Fox News is still suppressing the story.

It now appears that the new acting DNI, Richard Grennell, a gay man, will stay on in his post for at least 90 days.

He has a very caustic style and did little to advance US interests in Germany. Many senior German leaders refused to meet with him.

On his 1st day on the job, he unceremoniously fired the #2 senior official in his Dept. seriously reducing the talent pool in this key US gov't organization.
