WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.
“This is a global phenomenon,” said the assessment. “Our information indicates that senior Russian government officials, including the Kremlin, see value in this type of influence operation and perceive it to be effective.”
A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Russia was encouraged to intensify its election influence operations by its success in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 U.S. election and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Russiagate intiailly was pushed by Clinton when she lost to Trump, which was a surprise to many of the elites when she lost.
Trump having connections to Russia is not a dispute.
I am talking about the media frenzy that Russia had this big interference in our elections.
Again, proven interference, and not just in our elections. Russia has an interest in destabilizing many countries:

edit: before twitter files and after
Ah, I think I understand your point. The article is pointing to proven Russian interference.
I was just off topic then, I was going more for point out what Matt Taibbi was saying before Twitter files and after.
Which makes it hard to believe when articles like the one posted shows up.

Remember when Kushner tried to set up a back-channel with Russia?
Yes, clumsy or just illegal way of doing things, not sure why they pay their lawyers and personnel, why not ask the experts for the legal way of communicating with foreign countries.
Trump and his people are not the most trusting when it comes to gov’t alphabet orgs.
Many on the left used to also share that view, a distrust of the gov’t, JFK/MLK/MalcomX conspiracies.
You parroting the catchphrase “russiagate” tells me all I need to know about your lack of intelligence and credibility.
Ah, okay.
Thanks for the name calling that will help me understand your view and to change my mind…
Let me know if you have any people you watch or journalists you follow on yt. I prefer video media, but will also read blogs and articles.
The deprogram might be a good start
Ah, reminds me of JRE or similar kind of show.
People just shooting the shit and talking about topics.
Thanks!
HRC didn’t lose. The Electoral College appointed The mango Mussolini.
I’m gonna ask for a source.
From what I remember learning about this, ex-MSM journalists were the ones pushing back on this.
Twitter files were also a big deal on the censorship front.
Matt Taibi/Aaron Mate and others like Glenn Greenwald that pushed back on the main stream media narritive of Russia Gate.
