A Brief List Of Official Russia Claims That Proved Later To Be Bogus

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines 

Matt Tabbi: Aaugh! A Brief List Of Official Russia Claims That Proved To Be Bogus 

The Director of National Intelligence releases a report, and the press rushes to kick the football again. 

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a much-hyped, much-cited new report on “Foreign Threats to the 2020 Elections.” The key conclusion: 

We assess that Russian President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations aimed at denigrating President Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party, supporting former President Trump, [and] undermining public confidence in the electoral process… 

The report added Ukrainian legislator Andrey Derkach, described as having “ties” to “Russia’s intelligence services,” and Konstantin Kilimnik, a “Russian influence agent” (whatever that means), used “prominent U.S. persons” and “media conduits” to “launder their narratives” to American audiences. The “narratives” included “misleading or unsubstantiated allegations against President Biden” (note they didn’t use the word “false”). They added a small caveat at the end: “Judgments are not intended to imply that we have proof that shows something to be a fact.”

yes. those groups storming the Capitol are benign. Now you can point fingers at intel in the US but to dismiss the thugs who plotted to overturn an election show you are wanting in something. Journalism is not shit when you got edited for some excesses at the Intercept and would not allow for your work to be viewed and challenged.

The thugs who plotted to overthrow an election was successful. They stopped counting across the US in battleground states, threw out observers, and then voila the tide turned in the wee hours of the morning when no one was there to watch them count

Stuff it 12:54. How's the weather in Beijing?

At least he's not wanting in a grasp of reality, as you are and in broad daylight.

President Biden has no grasp of reality. He calls Kamala president.
