The head of the powerful Senate Intelligence Committee warned Wednesday that Russia is interfering in the French election just as it did in the US presidential campaign last year.
Senator Richard Burr, who has access to some of the most highly classified US intelligence, said Moscow has shown a clear will and ability to disrupt elections in Western democracies.
“What we might assess was a very covert effort in 2016 in the United States, is a very overt effort, as well as covert, in Germany and France,” he told reporters. …

and that’s way different than the U.S. inserting itself into the Kenya elections or the Israel elections or....
Whenever I hear these stories, I have to kinda chuckle. Why?
Unless I’m mistaken, interfering in other countries’ electons is the good ol’ U.S. of A.’s MO.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Which is why I think this whole “Russian interference” thing is, in reality, the world’s biggest squirrel.
Lol.. losers blame game. The Russians are coming.. dude, have you been in the pen since the 80s?
Fake news.
Just because the rest of the world identifies Obama as “the U.S.” does not mean we have to.
Oh noze
Not a “ very” covert operation
As opposed to a covert operation
Meaning we have every agency and technical asset at our disposal and have been “’investigating” for over a year ( or more) and can’t find bupkis because those wascally wussians were “ very covert”
If only we had known less about hillary ( a lot less) we might have loved her
So if Le Pen happens to pull one off , it could never be because she can hear the people singing a song of angry men
It’s because of those wascally wussians being very covert
Didn’t we interfere in the last Israeli election? BREXIT? Etc...
These people think we are stupid. We have noticed that wherever a freedom fighter is up for election and in the lead, like Marine LePenne and like Trump, the Russians are supposedly messing with the election.
This is the NWO trying to fool us and delegitimize the people who are beating their asses off.
I don’t believe much of this and have to wonder if there is another agenda behind the scenes and this is cover to get the American people on board.
Once again. No proof. Dick Burr is the new McCain. Don’t get between him and a mic
Any election where someone opposes Islamic migration is automatically considered fault of the Russians.
Unless he can explain the mechanism by which this occurs he’s no more than a propagandist and should STFU.
So what Senator Warner is saying is we are so stupid we fall for Russian propaganda. We used to be smart but now we are too dumb to be able to tell truth from fiction
I don’t describe Obama as “we”, and nor does he. Remember that to him, we are “you folks”.
Listening to that dumbass “senator” Warner right now. From what he is saying, he has already proven everything about the Rooskis getting Trump elected. If this is true, why the hell do they need “six more months or longer” to continue with this farce. The moron says he wants to “get to the bottom of this.” It sounds to me that the moron already has already decided what HIS findings are going to be. Time to write, call or email these jugheads and tell them to knock it off. What they are doing is a waste of taxpayer dollars. They’ve made their minds up. Let’s call that good.
If interference means that the Russians release documents that prove the press and the government are colluding to lie to the people of France, then I am all for Russian interference. We used to have the press research and report bad actors. But now I guess the Russians are the new forth estate. If there is any justice in the world, Putin will get a Pulitzer this year.
Dick Burr ... That sounds worse than what a kidney stone does when passing.
The “Russian interference” thing is cover for illegal electronic surveillance of the Trump campaign and a distraction from the REAL Russian collusion/corruption story involving Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and others.
Not to mention riots, coups and assassinations.. Anyone remember Ngo Dinh Diem or how the Shah Reza Pahlavi came to power?
