From what I gather the criticism from him and those like-minded individuals is that she's trying to shoehorn russiagate into this moment to divert the energy and bring it back to an issue that is over and that he was summarily right about. It all seems fairly vague. We know that foreign governments have always been interested in black, or left-wing "insurgent" movements, but so are the cops and The Feds for that matter.

I know he's anti-Russiagate, but I'm not sure of his specific position on Russian influence operations in the US Black community.

It seems that he's classifying this as a just another "Russians ate my homework" argument. However, I suspect he's basing that assessment on his disdain of Susan Rice and establishment Dems as a whole, because he can't dismiss Rice's counterintelligence knowledge and experience.

That seems to be the long and short of it.

The distrust of the info seems squarely because of who's saying it. I don't trust her particularly either, but these things have to be judged on a case by case basis and she certainly has more bona fides than some of the newly minted types who've come up off of these most recent allegations surrounding Russian clandestine ops.

No, the Intercept is largely good. I said their names because I wanted to be specific.

Barr's memo/letter, which we now know as wildly inaccurate, is what I'm talking about.

From what I remember they jumped the gun most likely because it validated their positions. No one knew how inaccurate the memo was to the actual report came out.
I saw that more as a defense of their journalism cred (a victory lap, I told you so) more so than any kind of left cover for the Trump team.

Agreed.

On a side note: I hope our exchange here will show that I match the energy of who I'm responding to.

You came at me respectfully, without being disingenuous. Therefore, I have no problem responding in kind, even if we don't agree 100%.

My same issue with Joy Reid pushing the idea that #ADOS is Russian Bots just because it's not towing the DNC/Liberal line about the needs of black voters.

It's not all Russian bots. But the signal was at some point boosted by Russian bots. Which is how influence campaigns work.

Hamilton 2.0 Dashboard

I hate with what they did with version 2.0 of that dashboard but last year it was super obvious that Russia was involved in a ADOS and BLEXIT campaign. I'm not implying that those two things are related but Russia was propping up both.

Damn shame there's mods that are encouraging this shyt. Shoutout to the few that tried to fight the good fight but they don't seem to have the power to keep the agents from taking over

@Barnett114 @TEKBEATZ @Lord Scarf @hex y'all not the mods co-signing the agents...I know y'all wish you could do more but the takeover is underway. It's a wrap.
