Yes - good point. Even Thomas Friedman in the NYT, is now bringing this up.
Jane Meyer I believe is a respectable source->Jane Mayer; “How Russia Helped Swing the Election for Trump “; Annals of PoliticsOctober 1, 2018 Issue of the New Yorker; at: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/01/how-russia- helped-to-swing-the-election-for-trump I cited here a fair bit on the 'Russian connection' in 2018-> In https://mlcurrents.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/trump-finance-capital-1.pdf p.154-> "The Russian directed targeting by email and electronic social media, was revealed by various indictments from the Mueller Probe: “(In) February 2018.. the Justice Department, in connection with the Mueller probe, released a detailed indictment of thirteen Russians working at the Internet Research Agency, a troll farm in St. Petersburg. The operatives were described as having worked day and night waging “information warfare against the United States of America.” Then, in July, Mueller indicted twelve Russian intelligence officers for hacking into the computers of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. The indictment maintained that the Russian government had executed a sprawling and sustained cyberattack on at least three hundred people connected to the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign, infiltrating their computers and implanting malware that, in some instances, enabled spies to covertly monitor their keystrokes. As the Times reported, the Russians had leaked stolen files “in stages,” a tactic “that wreaked havoc on the Democratic Party throughout much of the election season.” Strikingly, the July indictment showed that Russian hackers’ first attempt to infiltrate the computer servers in Clinton’s personal offices had taken place on July 27, 2016, the same day that Trump had declared, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the thirty thousand e-mails that are missing,” adding, “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” Jane Mayer; “How Russia Helped Swing the Election for Trump “; Annals of PoliticsOctober 1, 2018 Issue of the New Yorker; at: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/01/how-russia- helped-to-swing-the-election-for-trump -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
