This hasn& #39;t gotten enough attention, but you need to know. Everybody needs to know.

1/ It& #39;s about the massive coverup campaign underway to disguise the octopus-like Russian election interference operation being run on Trump& #39;s behalf.

Please read this whole thing.
2/ Earlier this year, reports start coming into Congress about a giant, multi-layer Russian effort to help Trump in 2020. Bigger than what they did in 2016. Looks like Russians are trying to get U.S. persons - especially those close to Trump - to help.
3/ On July 13, Dem leadership writes a letter to FBI Director Wray, asking for an all-Congress briefing, especially because the reports we& #39;re reading suggest Russian agents are trying to find Members of Congress to assist their interference operation. https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/72020-2">https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/...
4/ On 7/24, Bill Evanina, Trump& #39;s counter-intel chief, releases a super vague statement. 72 words on Chinese/Iranian interference, and 54 words on Russia.

Very puzzling. Congress has never been briefed on any meaningful Chinese/Iranian interference plans.

5/ On 8/7, an update. This one has 219 words on China/Iran, 105 on Russia.

But read it closely - though China gets the lead and the most attention, Evanina just says they are "weigh[ing] the risks" of election interference - NOT that they are doing it.

8/ No press conference from Intel or the FBI or DHS that they& #39;ve caught a Russian agent who has been in regular contact with the President& #39;s inner circle.

Nope. Just buried in a sanctions announcement. Likely because so many people knew the intel, they knew it would come out.
9/ What& #39;s happening is clear. American intel agencies, that are supposed to be totally apolitical, have been folded into Trump& #39;s campaign.

They are keeping info about Russian interference hidden, and overhyping info about China and Iran helping Biden.
10/ It& #39;s why Trump& #39;s former National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster, said something today that is as shocking as it unsurprising.

He said Trump is "aiding and abetting" Putin& #39;s interference campaign.

Wow.

But of course he is. And now you know the details.
