We Must Vote ALL Republicans out for once again playing along with Russian...
...disinformation efforts. In 2016, Republicans hacked Democratic emails and helped pushed disinformation that Republicans and US media companies happily spread. In 2020, while media companies are making an effort to flag such stories, Republicans are doubling down in their efforts to spread Russian disinformation.
It is not enough to beat Trump. We must work hard to vote out all complicit Republicans.

Inside story: How Russians hacked the Democrats emails
An Associated Press investigation into the digital break-ins that disrupted the U.S. presidential contest has sketched out an anatomy of the hack that led to months of damaging disclosures about the Democratic Partys nominee. It wasnt just a few aides that the hackers went after; it was an all-out blitz across the Democratic Party. They tried to compromise Clintons inner circle and more than 130 party employees, supporters and contractors.
While U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia was behind the email thefts, the AP drew on forensic data to report Thursday that the hackers known as Fancy Bear were closely aligned with the interests of the Russian government.
The APs reconstruction based on a database of 19,000 malicious links recently shared by cybersecurity firm Secureworks shows how the hackers worked their way around the Clinton campaigns top-of-the-line digital security to steal chairman John Podestas emails in March 2016.
It also helps explain how a Russian-linked intermediary could boast to a Trump policy adviser, a month later, that the Kremlin had thousands of emails worth of dirt on Clinton.
