WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The United States on Friday released a U.S. intelligence assessment sent to more than 100 countries that found Moscow is using spies, social media and Russian state-run media to erode public faith in the integrity of democratic elections worldwide.
“This is a global phenomenon,” said the assessment. “Our information indicates that senior Russian government officials, including the Kremlin, see value in this type of influence operation and perceive it to be effective.”
A senior State Department official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, said that Russia was encouraged to intensify its election influence operations by its success in amplifying disinformation about the 2020 U.S. election and the COVID-19 pandemic.
To be clear, the Russia hoax wasn’t proven false. DOJ deemed it unactionable, not false.
The connections between team Trump and Russia are deep, known, and absolutely proven. Politico even set it up as a series of graphics:

Russiagate intiailly was pushed by Clinton when she lost to Trump, which was a surprise to many of the elites when she lost.
Trump having connections to Russia is not a dispute.
I am talking about the media frenzy that Russia had this big interference in our elections.
You parroting the catchphrase “russiagate” tells me all I need to know about your lack of intelligence and credibility.
Ah, okay.
Thanks for the name calling that will help me understand your view and to change my mind…
Let me know if you have any people you watch or journalists you follow on yt. I prefer video media, but will also read blogs and articles.
HRC didn’t lose. The Electoral College appointed The mango Mussolini.
