We’re in a time of Trumpian active measures, spinning the Barr letter as a proxy for the actual Mueller Report.
The White House continues to manipulate the media frame making outrageous claims against the press and trying to foment discord like trying to eradicate the ACA. Despite a deadline of April 2 specified for receipt by Congressional committees, there’s word the WH will delay by weeks to “make a version”.
Piecemeal releases and national security exemptions could occur as we wonder when the “gang of eight” will see the whole document or get a Barr-like “briefing”.
Trumpian shitposting includes not only trump tweets but the signals to troll-bots to amplify the messages and memes.
We’ve now been bombarded with demands for apologies, plus logical fallacies to try to poison the entire history of #TrumpRussia, all before the actual document appears.
These disinformation active measures are meant to divert attention from what will be the continuing flow of information in the sixteen continuing Trump-related investigations. More months of distracting nonsense ahead. But we will be reminded that corrupt intent and ignorance has been around for decades in Trump-related activity. It’s a feature, as we are reminded that there can be non-criminal collusion.
