I remembe being certain that the CIA was backing anti-Putin events in Russia. “Pussy Riot” events come to mind.
Also pro-homosexuality propaganda.
If you go back to November 2011....legislative election came up in Russia, and oddly....suddenly Facebook, Google, and Twitter came out of thin air and became this vast anti-Putin tool. Three months go by and same dilemma for March 2012 Russian Presidential election? Same exact thing. Around this time period....Hillary goes and makes a couple of speeches which hint of the coming changes to Russia.
When all this smoke cleared....Putin and company were furious at the involvement of the US political machine. So in 2014 (if you follow the timeline by Mueller)...Putin and company sent a couple of guys to the US to collect intelligence.
Oddly, they aren’t looking at tanks, aircraft or missile silos. They are in the US to collect info on social media, how the US reacts to it, and how to use it. By 2015, they had their master plan.
I suspect if Mueller drags these 13-odd Russian guys in for meddling in the US election....the KGB will actually to the US and defend their guys, by laying out what happened in the two Russian elections and the Obama social media manipulation in Russia. If you were on the jury...how would you react? Would you be able to convict the Russians when you know that the US started this whole meddling process?
