Transparent Bozos -- Digby

https://digbysblog.net/2026/07/18/transparent-bozos/



My favorite "revelation" from Trump's classified election documents dump. If they had any self-awareness, their heads would explode:

Trump has spent years criticizing the intelligence community's assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election to help him win. But the documents shed new light on the country's ongoing efforts.

One declassified document from 2020 portrays Russia as the country that has tried the most to penetrate American election systems -- but in an effort to defeat Joe Biden. It notes how Russia worked to amplify claims that Biden, while serving as vice president, engaged in inappropriate behavior involving Burisma, the Ukrainian energy firm that employed his son Hunter, a charge frequently repeated by Trump and Republicans.

"Their aim is to defeat the former Vice President and ensure the President's victory," reads the document from the National Intelligence Council.

The document went on to state that both China and Iran wanted Trump to lose. But it included a chart documenting each country's known efforts. Only Russia was marked as having been known to have engaged in "targeting, accessing, or manipulating election processes or election-related systems."


Can you believe it? He just has no idea how much he gives himself away.
