    For "US Intelligence" ( now there is an interesting contradiction in terms) read "CIA", an organisation than is about the biggest bunch of scheming LIARS and crooks on this planet!

    So, whether what they say is true or not, I think it is a bit like the "pot calling the kettle black!"

    The CIA have interfered in elections around the world for years!

    I have no doubt that Putin tried to interfere because that is what that odious creature does!

    He destabilises whatever he can and putting a demented halfwit like Trump into office would most certainly suit his purposes.

    Was Trump aware of this happening?

    You can bet your life he was!

    Did the CIA know about it?

    Possibly, but I can't really see how they would profit from a rigged election on their home ground.

    Whatever, thankfully, Trump is history now!

    Funny thing about any "Propaganda" when used in a "Polarized Arena" both sides are ready willing and able to jump on it the moment either thinks they can run a mile or two down the road on it...

    "Russia tried to influence the 2020 US presidential election", this theory comes from the democrats imagination.

    The democrats could not accept Hillary's loss in 2020.

    They believed that Trump was not their president unless they accepted him.

    If the democrats really wanted to stop Trump from becoming president they would not have nominated her, they would get someone who the majority of voters would chose.

    Trump had never won an election, the only person who lost to Trump was Hillary.

    Was Trump involved in this (if any) Slander ? (Unfortunately lying is not a crime. Unless you're under oath, and nobody wanst to go under oath?....)

    When Wiki Leaks put out Emails form Politicians showing their Corruption show that FACTUAL information be suppressed because the Criminals don't want the People to know that they are Criminals ???....

     If Russia Hacked the DNC and put out the information and 90% other them were jailed that would be GREAT FOR AMERICA !!!!. If China did the Same to the RNC that too would be Great !

    If US Cyber Security Employees found that China and Iran changed the Votes of the American Voters and the losing Presidential Candidate won, then WE SHOULD correct that Crime ! ...

    hear  US cybersecurity expert Colonel Phil Waldron

    Present if Evidence & Data showing how these Machine were connected to the Internet and how Iran, China , and other Countries changed the Data of the American People !!!!..

    Our own political parties have been proliferating "misleading or unsubstantiated allegations" since their invention in the late 1700s. The digital age has only made it easer for foreign voices to get in on the muckraking. Instead of bemoaning Facebook ads from abroad we should be examining why Americans are dumb enough to fall for any of it. We stopped encouraging critical thinking and now we're just sitting ducks for this stuff. Every nation tries to interfere with every other nation's elections. The US is just easier to manipulate because we don't arm ourselves with basic internet literacy skills it would take to just ignore obvious BS online. People should be wise enough to see through campaign rhetoric from our candidates and we should be smart enough to recognize straight up nonsense when we see it.

    This is fake news. The same US intelligence agencies tried to undermine President Trump even before he was elected. They are still doing it to Him today! 

    I don't see anyone calling for investigations into the connections between the CCP and AntiPOTUS Biden and the Democrats.

    There are agencies w/ position and power to make determinations like that. But I saw trump's buddy behavior toward Putin so it makes sense/is believable to me.

    Russia's unacceptable behaviour has, somehow, become acceptable in the west .

    They glibly kill people they don't like , on western soil , they use malware to attack our critical systems ,and  interfere in our national elections .And this got worse on Trump's watch -- so the world today , is a far more dangerous place than it was .
