regarding unusual number of Russians with technical capabilities applying for entry to the US
prior to the election? She mentioned that (paraphrasing) the FBI was concerned about attacks on the voting process.
Raised concerns.

(7,143 posts)Remember that she rewarded Ukrainian assassins with cookies, and that's why Putin had to invade. (Which he really didn't do anyway.)
It's true. I read it all over the Dee Yoo at the time.

(7,142 posts)when our intelligence said it had no evidence that any of our votes were flipped, they were telling the truth. The problem is, voting is left to the states to administer, how can there be any proof of voter machine rigging when no voter machines are independently audited? The machines are owned by Republicans who claim proprietary rights for not allowing them to be audited.
Until we go to paper ballots I will consider none of our elections fair and honest. Why is it that exit polling used to be a reliable indicator of who won but since the advent of electronic voting machines exit polling is no longer reliable? You figure it out.

(4,642 posts)so I'm thinking she may have misspoken, Russia's economy is still in the shitter but I don't believe for one minute that Putin isn't uber rich. I wish Rachel would have caught that and had her expand on that comment.
