“Moscow has run a yearslong operation to blame #Ukraine for its own 2016 election interference. #Republicans have used **similar talking points** to defend @realDonaldTrump in #impeachment proceedings.”
The @GOP is doing #Putin’s bidding. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/22/us/politics/ukraine-russia-interference.html

“ #Russianintelligence officers conveyed the information to prominent Russians and Ukrainians who then used a range of intermediaries (oligarchs, businessmen and associates) to pass the material to American political figures and even some journalists.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/22/us/politics/ukraine-russia-interference.html
US intelligence officials warn: “ #Russia’soperation to blame #Ukraine has become more relevant as #Republicans have tried to focus public debate during the #impeachment inquiry on any Ukrainian role in the 2016 campaign.”

US officials say that the Kremlin relied on #Russianmobligarch Oleg Deripaska (Manafort’s boss) to spread disinformation about Ukrainian interference. After his ouster from the campaign, Manafort told Rick Gates in 2016 that #Ukraine—not #Russia—stole Democratic emails.
Despite repeated warnings from US intel officials, the @GOP keeps pushing the FALSE Kremlin narrative that #Ukraine—not #Russia—interfered in the 2016 elections.
Putting party over country—by spinning a #Russianconspiracy theory—is how the @GOP chooses to defend Trump. https://twitter.com/DrDenaGrayson/status/1197961833728167939
