I bet he does nothing to stop it. Russia should be thrilled by how much Trump has done to help them. Sad!

We are all suffering from scandal fatigue, but this scandal cannot be ignored: Trump does not want the intelligence community to expose Russian attacks because he is their beneficiary.

Lets' be 100% clear – there is one nation that has BOTH the capability and intention to significantly disrupt the 2020 American election.

It's not Iran. It's not North Korea. It's not China.
It's Russia.

Maybe they know that Russia wants to help Trump and they are comfortable with that. Remember, they didn't want campaigns to be required to report foreign assistance. https://t.co/QfT662HF3Q

▶️The US says Russia is actively trying to hurt Biden. They are doing this because Biden was tough on Russia as VP.
▶️The US says Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach is part of this effort. He has worked with Giuliani to smear Biden.https://t.co/f5amdoZ9wr pic.twitter.com/b6pHc99auM
As DNI formally cites the Biden tapes leaked by Derkach as part of a Russian effort, it's worth remembering that Giuliani met with Derkach in December and hosted him on his podcast in February. Derkach “doesn’t seem pro-Russian to me," he told @jdawsey1 https://t.co/jGBRJjMSnA

Pelosi/Schiff on DNI statement on election security praises IC for providing new info about Russian efforts to damage Biden but adds: "Unfortunately, today’s statement still treats three actors of differing intent and capability as equal threats to our democratic elections."

China and Iran are saying mean things about Trump.

Russia is funneling dirt on Biden to Republicans, who are eagerly exploiting it.
Not the same thing. https://t.co/U1hGh7dIZf

“The softening of Key Judgment 2”—that Russia wanted Trump to win in 2020—“signified a sobering new development of the Trump era: the intel community’s willingness to change what it would otherwise say straightforwardly so as not to upset the president.” https://t.co/DkF7TfwB8k

.@maddow: "What's happening in 2020, this is now the Republican led US Senate accepting and acting on, effectively laundering and promoting dirt that the US intelligence community now publicly says is a Russian operation to mess with our election."https://t.co/i6jPwnuGMy
