How much do we think russia is involved in our primaries?

[Jakes Progress]

Why would we think that the 2016 general election was the only place they would try to influence? Or that they have decided to let Democracy reign just for a while?

1. Another lazy conspiracy theory...

[Snarkoleptic]

3. Some folks with access to highly sensitive intel, seem to thinks Russia is still hosing us.

July 2019 story

As former special counsel Robert Mueller answered or parried questions from lawmakers on Wednesday about his two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, he included some stark warnings about what could happen during the 2020 race.

Speaking of Russia’s purported attack on U.S. democracy, Mueller said that the 2016 effort “wasn’t a single attempt.”

“They’re doing it as we sit here,” he told the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday afternoon. “And they expect to do it during the next campaign.”

Mueller said earlier in his Wednesday testimony that he feared the Russian interference portion of his 448-page report had been “underplayed,” but that it’s the one that “has and would have long-term damage to the United States that we need to move quickly to address.”

4. What's the evidence of anything happening in Iowa...

...a State that people here have endlessly said is unrepresentative and inconsequential?

6. I think that if a candidate ignores

russian influence just because it benefits them, they do not show themselves to be president material.

If Pete wins Iowa will you be saying that that win is inconsequential?

I'm fully aware that putin and trump would love to run against my candidate.

7. Another case of willful ignorance...

8. Yes. Pay no attention to the oligarch behind the curtain.

He's not there.

5. I suspect the Russians will continue to support the Sanders campaign.

Just like they did in 2016. Trump and the Republicans are also cheering him along publicly. Who knows what else they’re doing behind the scenes.

10. Not at all.

[Jakes Progress]

13. Sure. Ask trump to check with putin.

They will say "not at all".

Those aided by the "help" have a tendency to not see it. Hmmmmm.

14. Hmmmmm. I do have a Winter white dwarf hamster. Maybe that proves I'm a Russian.

[Jakes Progress]

15. No that doesn't prove russian collusion.

I find it interesting how you took a thread about russian influence on our election and turned it aside. Just what candidate do you think the russians and trump would like to win?

[Autumn]

16. The one the Russians want to win is Donald Fucking Trump. Not Bernie. Not Tulsi. Not any Dem.

When they meddle it will be in the GE, not the primary. I said not at all. YOU responded to me with this .

Hmmmmm. I know exactly what you meant.

Sorry I don't see any Russians under my bed or in my party.
