It’s official. Criminal Fuhrer Trump* and Vladimir Putin [R-RU] are teaming-up in an attempt to steal the 2020 election the way they did in 2016. Republican Senators have joined the effort.
Russia is using a range of techniques to denigrate Joseph R. Biden Jr., American intelligence officials said Friday in their first public assessment that Moscow continues to try to interfere in the 2020 campaign to help President Trump.
At the same time, the officials said China preferred that Mr. Trump be defeated in November and was weighing whether to take more aggressive action in the election.
But officials briefed on the intelligence said that Russia was the far graver, and more immediate, threat. While China seeks to gain influence in American politics, its leaders have not yet decided to wade directly into the presidential contest, however much they may dislike Mr. Trump, the officials said.
The assessment, included in a statement released by William R. Evanina, the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, suggested the intelligence community was treading carefully, reflecting the political heat generated by previous findings…. [emphasis added]

Rep. Schiff on MSNBC: Trump Puts Friendship with Putin Over National Security
As long as criminal Fuhrer Trump*, aka Putin’s Piddle Pervert, fears the release of the pee-pee tapes, Daddy Vladdy [R-RU] will do all he can to keep his bitch* (apologies to female dawgs) in power.
Here’s coverage of the Senators, who are betraying America!
…Meanwhile, Senate Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are holding hearings in an attempt to substantiate this charge — or, more realistically, to insinuate it. They have produced no evidence to advance their charge. The Russians have given Republicans stolen tapes of secret conversations Biden held with Ukrainians during his tenure as vice-president, and pro-Trump media outlets have hyped up the material, but nothing they have is inconsistent with the narrative that mainstream news organizations found. Biden was working to clean up Ukraine.
Senate Republicans tried to be cagey about their activities. After pro-Russian Ukrainians said they’d passed materials on to Republican officials, a Johnson staffer told NBC News in July that it was “‘false’ the committee has received any ‘oppo,’ or opposition research, without responding directly to whether that covers any materials from foreign sources.”
The Washington Post reported that Homeland Security Committee chairman Ron Johnson received secret documents from Ukrainians. And former Giuliani associate Lev Parnas has confessed to putting Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee and perhaps Trump’s most energetic defender on all things Russia, in touch with one of the Ukrainians releasing documents in the United States.
There is hardly any secret to what they’re up to. Johnson says he plans to release his report on Biden in September. It hardly matters if the information Russia gives him actually substantiates his allegations, or even whether it is authentic. The obvious plan is to splash some headlines into news screens in the heat of the campaign that seem to connect Biden to some kind of wrongdoing.
In reality, it is not a scandal about Biden at all. It’s a scandal about Republican cooperation with a Russian propaganda campaign…. [emphasis added]

WOW! Holy moly and crapola! Scary, and so unpatriotic.
Why, oh, why are these R-Aholes allowed to do/get away with this?? Sad. Frightening, and unreal, imho…
Yeah, as Rachel said, ‘Buckle up, Eyes OPEN.
Part of the reason they are “allowed” to get away with this is that the news media is big business, and does not want to alienate these people. Reporters, as I understand it, work to develop connections with politicians for the sake of being able to call on them for interviews, so they do not ask follow-up questions, do not fact-check them, for fear of loosing access.
‘Toon: Hey, where’s that toilet bowl snake? No, don’t bother, just flush.
NYT: tRump is not going to care about any interference in the election, by anybody, if he thinks it will help him be re-elected. It’s not about loving Putin, it’s about being blackmailed, and it’s about currying favor with anyone who reminds him of the abusive father from whom he still wants approval. He is not putting Putin’s needs above those of the U.S., he is putting his personal needs there, as he always has.
Senatorial slime: These folks are doing the same thing as tRrump, knowingly screwing the country for personal gain. They need to be flushed, as well. RESIST!
Flush, sure, but you may need that snake of a plunger. Don’t rule it out.
This is a day when the news is so bad that I feel like going back to bed and pulling the covers over my head. I’ll get over it – I hope.
This news about Russia (which isn’t really news) is bad enough, but combined with the Friday Night Massacre in the USPS, it is devastating. But we cannot be paralyzed. We can only work harder.
I’m not sure I believe in the pee-pee tape any longer. Not because he wouldn’t do it – he absolutely would, and it would be caught on tape – but because releasing it at this point would not hurt him. There has to be something else. I can’t even imagine what it might be.
What in the he*l is going on with our country?? It’s despicable to see this type of sh*t going on in the open. tRump and his stinking R’s have gotten away with way too evil actions.
Agree with Mitch that we need to get rid of all of these rotten R’s. That’s starting at the top with tRump.
I also agree with Joanne that we must work even harder at accomplishing our goal of getting tRump out of office.
This is hardly surprising. A vote for tRump is a vote for Putin.
Trump has countered this already with a new evasive action: He bypassed Congress by signing executive orders to extend unemployment benefits and defer payroll taxes during the nation’s coronavirus crisis.
“This scheme is a classic Donald Trump con: play-acting at leadership while robbing people of the support they desperately need,” said Senator Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee.
