Russian meddling on behalf of Donald Trump is an intelligence version of a perpetual-motion machine. It never stops spinning, from the 2016 campaign to the 2020 race to right now, as the former president peddles his fraud claims in the post-election wilderness.
That’s the message that emerges from a report released this week by Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines about “foreign threats” to the 2020 election. Moscow brazenly used the same manipulative playbook it had developed four years earlier and continues to play on divisions Trump spawned.
“Even after the election, Russian online influence actors continued to promote narratives questioning the election results and disparaging President Biden and the Democratic Party,” the report notes.
Haines warned in a second report also released this week that “narratives of fraud in the recent general election” (which the Russians amplified) are among the factors that “will almost certainly spur some [domestic violent extremists] to try to engage in violence this year.”
Biden got up with no assistance while tRump needed Melania’s arm on that infamous escalator, two hands to drink a glass of water, and an Army Officer holding him on that slight inclined ramp at West Point.

At least Biden knows how to keep his shirt on (physically and metaphorically).
