A big deal has been made of an intelligence report that said two things:
1 – The intelligence community is not certain about Russians paying bounties to kill American troops,
2 – Konstantin Kilimnik a Russian agent took internal polling data from Paul Manafort, then Trump’s campaign manager, in 2016 and gave it to the Russian Spy agency. Kilimnik also tried to disrupt the 2020 Presidential campaign, like he did in 2016.
I don’t know what was so earth shattering about the Kilimnik stuff. I guess the fact that the intelligence community came right out and said it as opposed to earlier stuff that left it to us to put two and two together.
The question in my mind is the same one that was asked back when the head of the research firm was hired by Republicans to get opposition research on Trump, “What was Trump doing in Russia?”
This question resulted in the Steele Dossier, most of which has been shown to be true and none flat out false.
We have all sorts of characters near Trump who have worked with Russians or their patsies. The Russian disinformation is a staple not only of right wing media but of most, if not all, of the elected Republicans elected to Congress. It’s not like they disavow it once it is pointed out to them. Oh no, they ignore the obvious and double down.
My question is only are they fools and unknowing traitors, or are they knowing traitors?
PS Wet n Wild – what I need: gym ready beauty products to keep up with me.
“Trump promises ‘wild’ protest in Washington DC on Jan. 6, claims it’s ‘impossible’ he lost”. Fox News.
Don’t tell me Trump is innocent.
“Knowing traitors.”
Even more disconcerting is the fact that he has a whole cadre of Republicans who will follow this traitor anywhere. Here in Washington state we have the whole East side of the state falling in lockstep behind herr fuhrer.
I don’t know why the Kilimnik stuff is surprising either. It’s been right there all along. I’m so f-ing tired of all this shit getting brushed off. Just cracked my first Oberon (a very awesome Michigan craft beer that signals the beginning of spring) and that’s about all I can deal with today.
