Trump apparently takes pride in Russian affiliations!

Redacted portion of the Mueller Report that applies to election interference in all 50 states, by Russia.



Russia targeted elections in all 50 states, report finds
Moscow’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 elections were more widespread than previously acknowledged and went largely undetected by state and federal officials at the time, according to a report released on Thursday by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

The bipartisan report warned that voting remains vulnerable, but its findings, including key recommendations for 2020, were heavily redacted.

Related: Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, moved again on Thursday to block election security legislation put forward by Democrats. He has long opposed giving the federal government more control over a process typically run by the states.

Another angle: The report came a day after Robert Mueller, the former special counsel, warned that Russia was interfering “as we sit here.” His testimony has deepened Democrats’ divisions over whether to pursue impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

As the President took the stage Tuesday morning before a sea of 1,500 teenage cell phones, a screen behind him showed a fake presidential seal featuring a two-headed eagle -- which bore similarity to the State seal of the Russian Federation -- clutching a set of golf clubs in its talons. The seal was visible for a short time behind Trump, who stood behind a podium affixed with the official (and un-doctored) presidential seal for the duration of his speech.

While no comments that condemn use of the Russian Icon are attributed to Trump, at this time, the Washington Post reports:
A two-headed eagle also appears at the bottom of the logo for Turnberry, Trump’s luxury resort and golf course in Scotland. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/25/how-did-trump-end-up-front-presidential-seal-doctored-include-ru/ssian-symbol/?utm_term=.d236f37b02d5



With a long history, in Russia, the two-headed eagle - called the Russian Republican Emblem in this actual replica - resembles the Crest of the Romanov Family, which was overthrown in 1917, during the Revolution.

1. Can we all now stop saying how "Trump won the election."

They are now admitting that Putin was in all 50 states looking @ the hardware and software of the
voting machines and central tabulators and data mining voter rolls so that “Russian cyberactors were
in a position to delete or change voter data” but Putin/Russia never did anything?

2. Maybe they did a little more than 'look'..

[Botany]

3. "Maybe they did a little more than 'look'.."

Of course they did because how many states had Hillary wining the exit polls.

4. Maybe? Republican Senators, including McCain of the Armed Services Committee, said this:

John McCain Calls Trump's Press Conference With Putin 'One of the Most Disgraceful Performances by an American President'

Arizona Sen. John McCain condemned President Donald Trump’s remarks at a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday, calling it “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.”

“The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake,” McCain said in a statement. “President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world.”

5. How many states had HRC winning in the exit polls

Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida all had
HRC winning in the exit polls. (I think that is right)

And also their was a massive voter suppression/purge before the 2016 election.
https://thinkprogress.org/states-purged-16-million-voters-from-the-rolls-before-the-2016-election-1c5688dcaad7/

States purged 16 million voters from the rolls before the 2016 election
Voter purges disproportionately affect low-income and minority voters.

BTW the Russians needed inside help in order to help carry out the installing of Trump in the
White House and the rat fucking of other races too. (Russ Feingold was @ >90% chance of winning
back his senate seat.)

6. And I suspect that they will receive even more "inside help" in 2020

Teflon Don will hire his own hacker teams. Then, Barr will again obstruct justice to cover for the crimes.
