[Blue_Tires]

That Russia is directly interfering and trying to influence the outcome of this election.....

Another story you'll never find on the front page of the Intercept...

Shame on anyone taking this hardcore ratfuckery at face value...

3. Trump would have preferred a Trump - Putin ticket, I think....

And Putin would have loved it too--he knows how to to move inconvenient people out of the way so that he can slide into first place.

4. Back on June 15th both the Russians and the hacker, Guccifer 2.0 debunked that claim:

When Russia faces uncomfortable accusations from abroad, the Kremlin normally lashes back with official declarations and scornful comments on state television.

But when the Democratic National Committee and cybersecurity experts told The Washington Post that Russian government hackers had stolen an entire database of opposition research on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, officials here met the accusations with little more than a simple denial and a shrug.

“Usually these kinds of leaks take place not because hackers broke in, but, as any professional will tell you, because someone simply forgot the password or set the simple password 123456,” German Klimenko, Putin’s top Internet adviser, said in remarks carried by the RIA Novosti state news agency. “Well, it’s always simpler to explain this away as the intrigues of enemies, rather than one’s own incompetence.”

Nice shade, though...

I'm old enough to remember when Snowflake at least tried to pretend he wasn't working for Putin...

Greenwald/Snowden/Assange do not and haven't ever given a shit about "privacy rights"...
