    Another Media On Trump-Russia Turned Out To Be B.S.

    The UK government has ended an investigation into the consulting firm Cambridge Analytica and its affiliate SCL Group, finding scant evidence suggesting either worked illicitly with Russia to influence British and US elections.

    The findings also debunked assertions that Russian interference skewed the results of the British referendum to leave the European Union.ICO found Cambridge Analytica obtained most Facebook data through commercial means.

      Re: Let the truth be known



      The Committee found that the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
      Parts of this effort are outlined in the Committee's earlier volumes on election security, social
      media, the Obama Administration's response to the threat, and the January 2017 Intelligence
      Community Assessment (ICA).
      (U) The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide
      range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election. In this volume
      the Committee lays out its findings in detail by looking at many aspects of the
      counterintelligence threat posed by the Russian influence operation. For example, the
      Committee examined Paul Manafort' s connections to Russian influence actors and the FBI' s
      treatment of reporting produced by Christopher Steele. While the Committee does not describe
      the final result as a complete picture, this volume provides the most comprehensive description
      to date of Russia's activities and the threat they posed. This volume presents this information in
      topical sections in order to address coherently and in detail the wide variety of Russian actions.
      The events explained in these sections in many cases overlap, and references in each section will
      direct the reader to those overlapping parts of the volume. Immediately below is a summary of
      key findings from several sections.

        Paul Manafort ,
        (U) Paul Manafort's connections to Russia and Ukraine began in approximately late
        2004 with the start of his work for Oleg Deripaska and other Russia-aligned oligarchs in
        Ukraine. The Committee found that Deripaska conducts influence operations, frequently in
        countries where he has a significant economic interest. The Russian government coordinates
        with and directs Deripaska on many of his influence operations.
        (U) From approximately 2004 to 2009, Manafort implemented these influence operations
        on behalf ofDeripaska, including a broad, multi-million dollar political influence campaign
        directed at numerous countries of interest to Deripaska and the Russian government. ProRussian Ukrainian oligarchs with deep economic ties to Russia also paid Manafort tens of
        millions of dollars and formed strong ties with Manafort independent of Deripaska.
        (U) Manafort hired and worked increasingly closely with a Russian national, Konstantin
        Kilimnik. Kilimnik is a Russian intelligence officer. Kilimnik became an integral part of
        Manafort's operations in Ukraine and Russia, serving as Manafort's primary liaison to Deripaska
        and eventually managing Manafort's office in Kyiv. Kilimnik and Manafort formed a close and
        lasting relationship that endured to the 2016 U.S. elections. and beyond.
        (U) Prior to joining the Trump Campaign in March 2016 and continuing throughout his
        time 6n the Campaign, Manafort directly and indirectly communicated with Kilimnik, Deripaska,
        and the pro-Russian oligarchs in Ukraine. On numerous occasions, Manafort sought to secretly
        share internal Campaign information with Kilimnik. The Committee was unable to reliably
        determine why Manafort shared sensitive internal polling data or Campaign strategy with
        Kilimnik or with whom Kilimnik further shared that information. The Committee had limited
        insight into Kilimnik's communications with Manafort and into Kilimnik's communications with
        other individuals connected to Russian influence operations, all of whom used communications
        security practices. The Committee obtained some information suggesting Kilimnik may have
        been connected to the GRU's hack and leak operation targeting the 2016 U.S. election.
        until
        Beginning while he was Campaign chairman and continuing
        sed with Kilimnik a eace lan for eastern Ukraine that
        After the election, Manafort continued to coordinate with
        Russian persons, particularly Kilimnik and other individuals close to Deripaska, in an effort to
        undertake activities on their behalf. Manafort worked with Kilimnik starting in 2016 on
        narratives that sou ht to undermine evidence that Russia interfered in .the 2016 U.S.
        election.
        vi
        COMMITTEE SENSITIVE-RUSSIA INVESTIGATION ONLY
        COMMITTEE SENSITIVE - RUSSIA INVESTIGATION ONLY
        (U) The Committee found that Manafort's presence on the Campaign at;td proximity to
        Trump created opportunities for Russian intelligence services to exert influence over, and
        acquire confidential information on, the Trump Campaign. Taken as a whole, Manafort's highlevel access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the
        Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik and associates of Oleg Deripaska,
        represented a grave counterintelligence threat.

          Re: Let the truth be known

          The Committee found that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian
          effort to hack computer networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak
          information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president. Moscow's intent was
          to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the
          Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the
          U.S. democratic process.
          -WikiLeaks actively sought, and played, a key role in the Russian
          influen~ery likely knew it was assistin a Russian intelli ence influence
          effort. The Committee found si nificant indications tha
          At the time of the
          first WikiLeaks releases, the U.S. Government had not yet declared WikiLeaks a hostile
          organization and many treated itas a journalistic entity.
          (U) While the GRU and WikiLeaks were releasing hacked documents, the Trump
          Campaign sought to maximize the impact of those leaks to aid Trump's electoral
          prospects. Staff on the Trump Campaign sought advance notice about WikiLeaks releases,
          created messaging strategies to promote and share the materials in anticipation of and following
          thdr release, and encouraged further leaks. The Trump Campaign publicly undermined the
          attribution of the hack-and-leak campaign to Russia and was indifferent to whether it and
          WikiLeaks were furthering a Russian election interference effort. The Committee found no
          evidence that Campaign officials received an authoritative government notification that the hack
          was perpetrated by the Russian government before October 7, 2016, when the ODNI and DHS
          issued a joint statement to that effect. However, the Campaign was aware of the extensive media
          reporting and other private sector attribution of the hack to Russian actors prior to that point.
          (U) Trump and senior Campaign offici.als sought to obtain advance information about
          WikiLeaks's planned releases through Roger Stone. At their direction, Stone took action to gain
          vii
          COMMITTEE SENSITIVE~ RUSSIA INVESTIGATION ONLY
          inside knowledge for the Campaign and shared his purported knowledge directly with Trump
          and senior Campaign offictals on multiple occasions. Trump and the Campaign believed that
          Stone had inside information and expressed satisfaction that Stone's information suggested more
          releases would be forthcoming. The Committee could not reliably determine the extent.of
          authentic, non-public knowledge about WikiLeaks that Stone obtained and shared with the
          Campaign.

                Biden: Voters 'Don't Deserve' To Know Stance on Court Packing Before Election

                Donald Trump.

                Groups like Demand Justice, which was founded by a former press secretary for Hillary Clinton and Sen. Chuck Schumer, began calling for Supreme Court expansion during the Democratic primaries.

                Biden has accused Trump of using the court packing question to distract from the Republican effort to vote on Amy Coney BarrettSo no comment on 'court packing'.. Harris Lied about Abe Lincoln nominating a Justice .. what else are they lying about?

Clearly Biden being his VP KNEW that it was all a scam, heads should roll.

                      Biden Campaign Rejects Trump Campaign's Proposal To Salvage Remaining Debates

                      coronavirusFox BusinessFox News.
                      The Trump campaign then proposed keeping two debates but changing the dates instead of the format, with one debate held Oct. 22 and the other Oct. 29. That was vetoed by the Biden campaign on the grounds that the Trump campaign cannot dictate when debates are held.

                      The Trump campaign said the unilateral decision
                      With the indictment on the Bidens, who knows IF Biden won't be in prison shortly after the election.

                            A debate is when 2 or more candidates are on the same stage and are able to ask questions directly of the other candidate(s). It is No Show Biden who wants a Zoom session. If Creepy Joe is afraid of SARS-CoV-2 then he can insist on the plexiglass partitions like they used for VP debate and maintain at least ten feet between individuals. Oh and 2 moderators, 1 chosen by each candidate. A candidate's microphone can only be muted if both moderators agree. Actually I think the debate that would go on between the 2 moderators would be very entertaining.

                              PS. The first debate was just trump talking over everyone with nothing actually being said.
                              The VP debate was a boring nothing burger without a winner. All it proved was pence is a good little parrot harris is kinda condescending.

                                The fact that debate dodging donny doesn't care if he infects people with this potentially deadly virus is reason enough not to want to be anywhere close to this selfish idiot.
