China is a bigger threat than Russia. They'll be working to get Joe elected. Do you care?

Since when have Trump supporters given one flying rat's ass about election interference from foreign countries?

A good effort to deflect from Trump getting destroyed right now over his military comments. But a failure.

It disconcerting that foreign governments are trying to interfere, but we need to be diligent in preventing their influence. Be it Russia, China, Iran or others. Clearly Russia is pulling for Trump, China is pushing Biden, Iran just wants chaos, which is likely Trump.

But we need to take it all seriously and make efforts to limit or eliminate the influence that foreign powers have in our elections.

The DNI reports apparently still say Russia is a bigger threat and supporting Trump. I have no doubt that others are trying to influence, but the Russians have been caught over and over again at it since 2015. And in support of Trump.

Most of the intelligent influence happens in India and Italy. On the basis of that, China is a way bigger threat than Russia. But Putin has the blackmail tape, so our administration helps the Russians in every way that they can. It sucks having global influence on our personal elections.

Why do you bear false witness? You expect to live forever? You know the smears out of your mouth are lies. You know that you will forward all the filth Russia puts out. Why?

Do you notice how your stupid bull**** is based on nothing more than you declaring something to be true without proof?

Intelligence agencies under Trump are reporting that Russia is again working to interfere on Trump's behalf. Unsurprisingly, Trump/Barr/Pompeo/etc are all parroting the Russian interference points.

Trump supporters are a special kind of stupid.





Outsiders trying to influence our elections ? Trump is an insider and requested outsiders to do just that.

Your god emperor could suck on putins pecker in the middle of fifth avenue and they will claim that is was somehow bidens doing.

Statement by NCSC Director William Evanina: Election Threat Update for the American Public

"CHINA – We assess that China prefers that President Trump – whom Beijing sees as unpredictable – does not win reelection. China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China’s interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China. Although China will continue to weigh the risks and benefits of aggressive action, its public rhetoric over the past few months has grown increasingly critical of the current Administration’s COVID-19 response, closure of China’s Houston Consulate, and actions on other issues. For example, it has harshly criticized the Administration’s statements and actions on Hong Kong, TikTok, the legal status of the South China Sea, and China’s efforts to dominate the 5G market. Beijing recognizes that all of these efforts might affect the presidential race."


So looks like China Joe has some friends in Bejing.....

Evanina released another statement that was explicit about Russia’s attempts to undermine Biden’s candidacy, and even named an individual suspected of helping in those efforts.

“We assess that Russia is using a range of measures to primarily denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia ‘establishment,’” the statement said. “For example, pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach is spreading claims about corruption — including through publicizing leaked phone calls — to undermine former Vice President Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party.”

Publicly, Senate Intelligence Chair Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Warner praised the more detailed release; privately, several of Evanina’s former colleagues expressed surprise at its specificity, noting the naming of Derkach as a particularly bold move.
