    Not to mention the very strong timeline that shows clear election interference by Russia and United Kingdom in the US 2018 election (Mueller's investigation knew well before the 2018 election it seems).

    Basically it turned out the Democrats and their spokespeople in the US press were the same tools of Putin so many of them accused Trump of being.

    It supports exactly what Tucker often report: the Democrats are consistently doing the exact thing that they accuse the GOP of doing. Just another example that he's right.

    I mean it's not like she literally said "about half of them"

    So 23% or so of those who voted, or less than 12% of those eligible to - which seems just about right.

    Yeah, Putin and his toadies are laughing their asses off. :garamet:

    FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday that foreign disinformation efforts against the U.S. "never stopped" after Russian actors used them on social media platforms during the 2016 elections.

    The FBI chief also told lawmakers during a House Judiciary Committee hearing that malicious foreign influence campaigns are now targeting more than just elections.

    "That is in some ways an even more challenging area, not the least because it never stopped. It happened in 2016 and it's been continuing ever since then. It may have an uptick during an election cycle, but it's a 24/7, 365-days-a-year threat," Wray said of disinformation campaigns.

    A report compiled by former special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that the Russian Internet Research Agency carried out a social media campaign designed to benefit President Trump and hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016, with the goal of ultimately "sowing discord in the U.S. political system."

    Mueller, along with intelligence agencies and the Senate Intelligence Committee, also concluded that the Russians had attempted to hack into voting infrastructure across the U.S.

    As part of his investigation, Mueller indicted 12 Russian agents in 2018 for successfully hacking into email accounts belonging to Clinton campaign staffers and Democratic National Committee networks.

    On Wednesday, when asked if he had seen any efforts by the Russians to interfere again in U.S. elections, Wray said that Russian disinformation efforts remain a key threat.

    "While I don't think we've seen any ongoing efforts to target election infrastructure like we did in 2016, we certainly are seeing and have never stopped seeing, really, since 2016 efforts to engage in malign foreign influence by the Russians," Wray said, pointing to evidence that Russians are using "false personas [and] fake media accounts" online.

    Amid questioning from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), Wray argued that fighting disinformation online is a difficult issue for the FBI because it sometimes could impact First Amendment rights. The director maintained that the FBI "is not going to be in the business of being the truth police."

    Wray emphasized that disinformation efforts by foreign countries against the U.S. are "not just an election cycle issue," and that countries like China are actively using disinformation campaigns to promote pro-China issues.

    "Other countries, like China for example, have very active foreign malign influence efforts in this country," Wray told lawmakers. "In their instance it's more geared towards trying to shift our policy and our public opinion to be pro-China on a variety of issues."

    He emphasized, though, that other "adversary nations" were looking at Russian interference efforts in 2016 and "giving active consideration to whether that is a playbook they should adopt."

    Wray testified Wednesday in the same committee room in which Mueller testified last year that he expected the Russians to attempt to interfere in the 2020 elections, warning that the Russians were trying to interfere "as we sit here."

    Prosecutors want Stone to serve 7 to 9 years.
    I know we've all laughed at Stone's Nixon tattoo on his back, but now that I think about it, that might have been pretty clever of him to get it. I mean, could you fuck somebody up the ass if Nixon's face was staring at you while you did it? He might have to worry about getting his cherry popped in the shower, after all.

    7 to 9 years?

    Meanwhile others in similar situations got weeks. A few months.

    This is another instance of punishing someone for knowing Trump and not for what they are actually guilty of.

    Plus it appears these prosecutors lied to the Department of Justice. Never a good idea.

    This guy was sleeping with that lady. A reporter who he was also leaking classified stuff too.

    His sentence? Two months.

    Lucky for him he’s an anti-Trump guy.

    Obstruction, lying to congress, and witness tampering. Who has been convicted of those and got a few weeks?

    No that I know of.

    But it’s a general fact that people who aren’t Trump fans get slaps on the wrist while Muellers dogs attempt to destroy people with outrageous sentences because they know Trump.

    It’s the same with Flynn. Not that you care of course.

    And if what CBS posted is accurate than the prosecutors told the DOJ one thing and then did another in court.

    7-9 years? For what he was convicted of? A non-violent crime? A process crime?
    Give him a couple years.

    What was Flynn's sentence? Last I heard, Muellers dogs asked for no prison time, but the prosecutors were asking for six months.

    Didn't CBS report that someone under Barr claimed without evidence that the prosecutors told the DOJ one thing and did another? If it's true, then that seems problematic, but I don't know how that stuff usually works.

    They went according to Federal sentencing guidelines. :shrug:

    It was obvious this was going to happen after the blatant cover-up by the senate in Trump's impeachment trial. He is now convinced (and probably rightly so, as long as the "Republican" party -- which no longer believes in the governing principles of a republic -- has a grip on power) that he can do whatever he wants, without there being any consequences to himself. His whims are now the law of the land.
