Teaser:

Russia govnt falsified an email. Then Trump recited the falsified email at a rally. Only those two knew it. How?

The Trump tapes are horrible. But that Trump obtained Russian disinformation and recited it as fact is terrifying.

I like my Russian propaganda the old-fashioned way - uttered by Moscow, not by the GOP nominee for President

Finished showing the links between Russian disinformation op & Trump, so now Im gonna go watch Manchurian Candidate.

Russian gov manipulates email to @johnpodesta. Publishes disinformation. Takes it down. Trump recites false info.

A bit more:

This false story was only reported by the Russian controlled agency (a reference appeared in a Turkish publication, but it was nothing but a link to the Sputnik article). So how did Donald Trump end up advancing the same falsehood put out by Putin’s mouthpiece?

At a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke while holding a document in his hand. He told the assembled crowd that it was an email from Blumenthal, whom he called “sleazy Sidney.”

“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my article.

Read it then take a few moments to digest what this implies.

1. So Trump is now disseminating pure Kremlin propaganda as soon as it's released.

and claiming it's real.
A Moscow mouthpiece wants to be the President of America.

Not a surprise but -- damn.

I think anyone who votes for Trump should be run out of the country because a vote for Trump is treason.

4. I thought all this stuff about him being a "Putin stooge" was hyperbole

nope

He THINKS he's getting insider information from the Kremlin that feeds his ravenous taste for KOOKY conspiracy theories. He feels so smart to have access to info before everyone else that he will broadcast lies with no confirmation.

The rest of his truthiness nonsense seems to come from his very, very close relationship with Alex Jones. He has been on Alex Jones' show dozens of times over the years.

6. Putin chose very poorly

Moscow couldn't vet a Manchurian Candidate any better than the deplorables.

7. I guess we can assume that Trump is sharing his security briefings with Moscow in return

That, and Russia will forgive him his debts.

He still thinks he's "winning"
