Russia uses FBI Trump raid to 'foment discord' and 'amplify tensions' in US, expert says
Fox News ^ | August 14, 2022 | Michael Lee

Russian state media outlets have been offering words of support for Former President Donald Trump amid the FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida in an attempt to sow discord in the U.S.

"The Russians understand that Donald Trump is a hot button in America and they use their narratives to foment discord and amplify tensions in our country," Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer and the author of "Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America," told Fox News.

The comments come after multiple Russian media outlets have expressed support for Trump in the days since the FBI raid on his home, with both Izvestia and RenTV arguing over the weekend that the raid was designed to prevent Trump from running for president in 2024.

Koffler argued that the Russian outlets have seized on the raid at the direction of the Kremlin.

A new variation on the “Republicans pounce” theme where it’s not what the rats do, it’s the reaction to it that’s the story. Now it’s “Russians pounce.”

Fox News fabricates nonsense to generate clicks.

Film at eleven.

Poor FBI! Always the victims. I guess that’s why they had to brandish guns while “serving a lawful search warrant” to Trump’s house when they knew he wasn’t even there! 🤬

This is a Russian ruse. Everyone knows the Rats are the party of Russia. They cut US oil production, supposedly to save the environment, to pay their Russian buddies back for supporting BLM.

Russia hasn’t made me mad, or anyone I’ve heard talking about it. The FBI and DOJ have made us mad. Russia doesn’t even enter into the equation.

It is not the Russians trying to "foment discord" or "amplify tensions".

Trump did not turn the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and as many three-letter-agencies as he could into his private secret police service.

That was Obama, the Democrats, and a complacent Republican party long before Trump was in office.

“Russia hasn’t made me mad, or anyone I’ve heard talking about it. The FBI and DOJ have made us mad.”

Precisely. Any real American was angry the moment they heard about the raid. In fact they were angry before that at the multiple and legion abuses by the FBI and intelligence agencies — both in refusing to see crimes by deep state lackeys and finding crimes that aren’t there by regular citizens. School board moms indeed, Mr. Garland.

If true, Russia is no doubt just seizing a opportunity. They don’t give a damn about Trump.

Russia has nothing to do with the crap the FBI and this administration is pulling. They are being communists on their own

More far left nonsense from FAUX Snooze. The bastards had to throw the Russkis back into the upcoming election. Russki bogeymen are all they have. Morons. The start of another 2020 steal.

If we aren’t careful, Trump will sell the plans for a warp deive to the Russians and the Starship Enterprise will be Russian when they kill Klingons

Don’t tell me. The former perts are far lefties trying to throw the Russkis back in the mix. Personally, I think the Russkis have bitten off more than they can chew in the UKE to be farting around with American politics. Wake up America. The liberal media has lulled you to sleep again.
