    FBI warns disinformation campaigns may target 2020 election results
    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...gns-may-target-2020-election-results-n1240781

    "State and local officials typically require several days to weeks to certify elections’ final results in order to ensure every legally cast vote is accurately counted. The increased use of mail-in ballots due to COVID-19 protocols could leave officials with incomplete results on election night. Foreign actors and cybercriminals could exploit the time required to certify and announce elections’ results by disseminating disinformation that includes reports of voter suppression, cyberattacks targeting election infrastructure, voter or ballot fraud, and other problems intended to convince the public of the elections’ illegitimacy."
    https://www.ic3.gov/media/2020/200922.aspx

    I think the line in the warning that begins "Foreign actors and cybercriminals could exploit the time required," is where the typo occurs. It should read, "Domestic actors and members of the Trump administration could exploit the time required to certify and announce elections’........"

    For the sake of discussion let's ignore the purposeful, treasonous negligence of this admin in fighting more Russian election interference. Instead, focus on Comrade Trump's efforts to damage the integrity of the election's outcome. By both sabotaging the process by which mail-in ballots are collected and undermining confidence in that process with baseless innuendo.

    The admin is already suggesting the election result must be available on election night. A suggestion meant to discredit the eventual result which, due to the anticipated increase in mail-in ballots, may be delayed for an unknown period of time.

    Just as he did in the lead-up to the 2016 election with unfounded claims it was rigged against him the Conman-in-Chief is trying to sow doubt about the outcome of the 2020 election. The FBI is warning Russia is poised to help him in that endeavor. Because......of course they are. Putin's goal is to weaken America and the best way to achieve that end is to weaken it from within. Like getting a useful idiot re-elected.

    the dems, biden campaign and their handlers in China and Iran are already pushing the false narrative of voter suppression.

    fear mongering is a favorite tool of Xi’s puppets

    WTF are you talking about?

    "My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There's only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is @JoeBiden," she said in a series of tweets.

    With Bogus Claim Of ‘Millions’ Of Fraudulent Votes, Don Jr. Recruits ‘Army For Trump’

    "Appearing haggard and hoarse, Donald Trump Jr. stared down the camera and began recruiting soldiers.

    “We need every able-bodied man and woman to join Army for Trump’s election security operation,” he said, the words “ENLIST NOW!” plastered next to his face.

    “We need you to help us watch them.”

    Trump Jr. wasn’t talking about an armed security force, at least not yet: No, he was recruiting volunteers for Trump’s Election Day Operations team, according to a website he boosted in the video."

    They just keep repeating the same lie over and over.

    Who cares what Cindy McCain tweets? Her husband turned his back on the nation when he voted with the left to kill healthcare reform....why? Because he was still bitter that Trump won the Oval and he never did.

    Let's take a look at what biden's former boss really thought of him: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...used-endorse-Joe-Biden-revealed-new-book.html

    I ask again what's the lie? Out intel community has said that China is the greatest national security threat to our nation....and they have also highlighted that Iran is the leading state sponsor of terror....so we have to ask ourselves if these terrorist and national security threats are backing Biden and the Dems....what does that logically conclude the Biden and the Dems are? A threat to our nation.

    um the intel community has reported they are...
    https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsr...lection-threat-update-for-the-american-public

    CHINA – We assess that China prefers that President Trump – whom Beijing sees as unpredictable – does not win reelection. China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China’s interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China. Although China will continue to weigh the risks and benefits of aggressive action, its public rhetoric over the past few months has grown increasingly critical of the current Administration’s COVID-19 response, closure of China’s Houston Consulate, and actions on other issues. For example, it has harshly criticized the Administration’s statements and actions on Hong Kong, TikTok, the legal status of the South China Sea, and China’s efforts to dominate the 5G market. Beijing recognizes that all of these efforts might affect the presidential race.
    • IRAN – We assess that Iran seeks to undermine U.S. democratic institutions, President Trump, and to divide the country in advace of the 2020 elections. Iran’s efforts along these lines probably will focus on on-line influence, such as spreading disinformation on social media and recirculating anti-U.S. content. Tehran’s motivation to conduct such activities is, in part, driven by a perception that President Trump’s reelection would result in a continuation of U.S. pressure on Iran in an effort to foment regime change.

    And due to the leadership and warnings by the Trump admin...Microsoft has caught them in the act:

    Can you appreciate the difference between various countries not wanting to see Trump re-elected and Russia actively meddling in the election? If not, I can't help you.
    Not to mention that your assertion Biden is being "handled" by China and Iran is in no way supported by what you posted because he isn't.

    CIA clamps down on flow of Russia intelligence to White House

    The CIA has made it harder for intelligence about Russia to reach the White House, stoking fears among current and former officials that information is being suppressed to please a president known to erupt in anger whenever he is confronted with bad news about Moscow.
    https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/23/cia-russia-intelligence-white-house-420351

    A story like this, the POTUS not wanting to hear about Russian interference (because he knows who they are interfering for) would normally be the end of that POTUS' candidacy.

    Trumpleton's do...........not..............care.

    Care about what? Not every piece of information needs to be on the President's desk...there are far more concerns. Only the important stuff needs to get there...

    I don't think the President needs to know what Putin had for breakfast...he needs to know if they are attempting to hack....and what we are doing about it....same with Iran and China....and that intel has lead to them being caught

    He does need to know that there was some troops injuried in Syria...and the Russia were involved so he can send more troops and armored vechiles to deter more russian agression

    Agreed. Election interference by a foreign adversary should be on top of the pile.

    agreed...and it is....Iran, China and Russia....and with Trump on top of things...we have been cathching them in the act.

    Sadly, the more flexible with Russia policies of Obama/Biden for their help in the 2012 election resulted in a less then stellar protection
