Three Campaigns directly and indirectly have been compromised by Russian involvement into a successful defeating of Hillary Clinton. We are finding more and more very disturbing news about the Trump election but how else have the different election campaigns been compromised by the Russians?
Jill Stein and her Russian connection.
Little has been investigated regarding Jill Stein and her solid Russian connection. This is another glaring anomaly that seriously undermines the legitimacy of this putatively Illegal election that deserves intense scrutiny in its own right.
It is hard, if not impossible to argue that Jill Stein took many of the votes cast for her from the Clinton campaign. Bernie Sanders, who in the primaries used a cornerstone of his campaign the premise that Hilary was in the pocket of Wall Street, the truth none withstanding. There is data suggesting that eventually many supporters of his were swayed to vote for the Green party candidate as their hate for Hilary was so profound. These votes were probably enough to give Trump the presidency.
Knowing what we know now about the Russian involvement with the elections it is time to shed some light on Jill Stein. She has been to Russia many times and spent time with Putin.
She is far from an innocent candidate.
This story from Raw Story is worth a read.
"Jill Stein ran to the left of Hillary Clinton, but her views frequently line up with Vladimir Putin — whose policies contradict many of the left-wing values she champions.”
Journalist Casey Michel reported for The Daily Beast on Stein’s political ties to Putin, who considers Clinton his arch enemy, and how the Kremlin-sponsored media outlets promote anti-American views aimed at both the far-right and far-left in the U.S.
“Stein presents herself as a champion of the underclass and the environment, and an opponent of the surveillance state and corporate media, and yet she seemed to take pleasure in her marriage of true minds with a kleptocratic intelligence officer who levels forests and arrests or kills critical journalists and invades foreign countries,” Michel wrote. “Their true commonality, of course, is that both Putin and Stein are dogged opponents of U.S. foreign policy.”
Intelligence officials quoted in this NBC news article explained to both Donald Trump and President Barack Obama last week how Russia uses media outlets such as RT, formerly known as Russia Today, to undermine domestic trust in American democratic institutions. According to intelligence officials, RT also actively collaborated with WikiLeaks to peel away American leftists from Clinton, who Putin despises for challenging the fairness of Russian elections. As this story from RawStory explains, Report Advertisement Stein, the Green Party candidate for president, was heavily promoted by RT during the election campaign and was invited to Moscow last year for the network’s 10-year anniversary."
Bernie Sanders Campaign.
The Sanders campaign was compromised by Wiki leak emails, that now we know were doctored by the Russians. That was not known by anyone at the time except for the Hillary campaign.
Obviously, the Sanders campaign was influenced by the hacked emails. Just think without all the hacking led by the Russians in the Sanders campaign, would the campaign have been as successful? We will never know. Also, the break in of the DNC was a factor. Who knows what was doctored from the emails there? Certainly, DNC chair Wasserman Schultz resigned because of it.
From <mediamatters.org/...>
As organizations, such as WikiLeaks and DCLeaks continue to release emails that appear to originate from individuals close to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her campaign, a group of former top national security officials and outside experts are warning “members of the media to stay engaged and to think critically about the facts they consume and disseminate.” The group notes that “what is taking place” in terms of the leaking of private emails “follows a well-known Russian playbook,” and “it is imperative that we focus on the broad disinformation campaign that is already underway.”
In multiple email dumps, WikiLeaks published a trove of what appear to be hacked emails from Clinton campaign manager John Podesta.
Three campaigns have been influenced by Russian involvement against Clinton, directly and indirectly.
Impeachment of President Trump is not enough, it requires either a new election or Hillary Clinton becoming president.
When will there be enough data to call this a very illegal presidency, as more data of Russian involvement and corruption is flooding in by the hour?
With Citizens United, how much money was sent from other countries especially Russia? This we will never know.
Will there ever be enough dissent to make it be heard by the Supreme court?
Will it be enough for the Supreme Court to be Fair and Balanced (and not in the Fox news way.)?
