I still don’t see what all the ‘fuss’ is about.
Didn’t J E Carter make a ‘career’ of interferring in elections overseas...
We have been ‘monitoring’ elections around the world for years.
I guess when ‘we’ do it it is for the good of mankind.
I often wondered what the reaction would be if say Burma sent monitors to OUR elections.
The establishment launched two investigations based on the notion that Trump was colluding with Russia, and that Russian influence is the reason he was elected.
Why? To undermine his legitimacy as President and place an asterisk next to everything he does.
As for ‘fuss,’ We just found out from an ex-Podesta Group exec that Paul Manafort and Tony Podesta were peddling Russians up and down the hill, and Tony Podesta recommended Hillary’s chief advisor at the State Dept. for the Podesta Group - giving them a direct liason. Moreover, all those Facebook ads Russia bought to influence the election were actually meant to help Hillary (BLM activism, etc.) - and sought to *undermine* Trump after he won!
So - the ‘fuss’ is about the left accusing Trump of the exact “Russian collusion” that they themselves have been participating in for years at the highest levels.
Let’s not forget Bill Clinton was at Vladimir Putin’s HOUSE the same day he collected $500k for a speech to a Kremlin-tied investment bank which upgraded Uranium One, and that Tony Podesta was paid $180K to lobby for Uranium One *AFTER* they were wholly owned by Russia.
There were some European election monitors that came here in 2012. They ran home screaming when they found out most states didn’t have voter ID. Needless to say, the story was not widely reported.
Hey, Obama was at the same time sending his political crew to interfere with the elections of allies such as Israel.
