What the Next 87 Days Will Be: Republicans & Russians Will Knowingly Work Together Against Biden

What the next 88 days will be like:

Pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach is spreading claims about corruption" as part of Russia's efforts to manipulate the 2020 U.S. election against Joe Biden and in support of Donald Trump.

Derkach has been using Rudy Giuliani to spread his claims, along with Republican senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley.

Rachel:

What's happening in 2020 is that this is now the Republican led United States Senate accepting, and acting on, and effectively laundering and promoting dirt that the U.S. Intelligence community now publicly says is a Russian operation to mess with our election...

That's what the Republican Party in the United States Senate is willing to do to try to beat Joe Biden... they will run fake third party candidates that they think might peal off voters from Biden; they'll have their own lawyers... in WI... let's take over the post office ...

These are the terms on which they're waging this campaign: frivolous lawsuits, random fake third party candidacies, messing with the actual mechanism by which most of us will vote, and like in 2016, they've got Russia pulling alongside them ...

... the difference is that the Republican Party in the US Senate is helping the Russia effort along, explicitly... they can't plead ignorance after this public warning today from the country's top counterintelligence official... they know what they are doing.

It's not going to get better in the next 88 days ... while the rest of the country tries to stay alive in the midst of this catastrophic epidemic.

That's what this is going to be like for the next 88 days.

1. K&R!

[Thekaspervote]

2. they never learn!!

1. They got their idiot king impeached
2. It didn’t stick or hurt Biden the first time....why do they think it will work this time??!!
3. The sky has been falling per the gop if Dems take the reins now for how long?? Yet they cannot govern...period
4. Dotard and his ilk lie lie lie...hey no one believes anything you say anymore

[ancianita]

3. Right wing media and their base believe it all. All of it.

[alwaysinasnit]

4. And let's not forget that Johnson was one of several senators who spent July 4th (2018) in Russia.

Maybe his loyalties are divided???

5. Awhile back the Dallas News posted which Republicans took Leonard Blavatnik's money.

I couldn't retrieve the amounts for each, but McConnell got almost $3 million of the $7.35 MILLION ACCEPTED FROM LEONARD BLAVATNIK, PUTIN OLIGARCH

Mitch McConnell
Marco Rubio
Scott Walker
Lindsey Graham
John Kasich

[alwaysinasnit]

6. Thanks ancianita!

[ancianita]

8. Wait. I found the breakdown.

6 are here, but you can bet there are more:

Mitch McConnell $2.5 M
Marco Rubio $1.5 M
Scott Walker $1.1 M
Lindsey Graham $800,000
John Kasich $250,000
Donald Trump ???

That's how an insurgent foreign country buys its Fifth Column. All legal. With dark money, shells, and PACs.

Len Blavatnik and Oleg Deripaska (hanging out in McConnell's Kentucky as we speak) are Putin oligarchs and owners of RUSAL, biggest aluminum corp, which has settled into Moscow Mitch's Kentuckystan, with full networking use of his seven offices around the state. They probably use the same unsecured phones Trump uses, so they're all 'read in' on Boss Putin's next moves.

The Dallas News' original layout has great interactive charts with more Republicans and the exact amounts and laundering vehicles they used. It's worth a look

10. Wow. Thanks again ancianita!

[ancianita]

11. Add past money to present counterintel reports that they KNOW, and we've got

charges to file against them, using the alien and sedition act about aiding and abetting a hostile foreign power.

They're counting on media and Americans not knowing what they're up to.

[alwaysinasnit]

12. Assuming Dems regain power soon, one of the most important positions that needs to be filled by

a person of unimpeachable integrity is Attorney General, IMO. He or she is going to have his/her hands overflowing with so much work.

[ancianita]

13. House Dems could call him to testify right now to reveal his designs. This looks like grounds

to file an immediate injunction on all his activities until the Postal Service is freed to do its work.

Just my opinion. But the party needs to try something, anything that can stop him now. Otherwise there won't be an AG we can count on next year.

We need to sweat the votes stolen at the polls, mail ballots stolen by DeJoy.

[alwaysinasnit]

14. That thought has been running around my head for the last month or so. Is the Dem leadership

taking any action to neutralize Barr?

[ancianita]

17. Not that I know of. But some of this might be behind closed doors so as not to tip their hand?

I don't think party leaders know how to fight this three-front dirty insurgency. But they're smart and they'd better put their heads together and come up with something.

[alwaysinasnit]

18. +1000

[Turbineguy]

7. If they win they get

at least two years, maybe more. There's still more work to do for Putin.

[ancianita]

9. Impeachable Russian assets, all. Maybe even traitors under the Espionage Act.

[raging moderate]

15. WHY was a JULY 4TH Moscow Meeting okay for GOP?

Can you even IMAGINE the DEMOCRATS in Congress getting away with traveling to Moscow for a JULY 4TH MEETING with Putin?

[ancianita]

16. They'd have screamed through a month of news cycle over that. It's always "good" when

"good" Republicans do it. Like shooting someone on 5th Avenue.
