US intel: Russia acting against Biden; China opposes Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials believe that Russia is using a variety of measures to denigrate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden ahead of the November election and that individuals linked to the Kremlin are boosting President Donald Trump’s reelection bid, the country’s counterintelligence chief said Friday in the most specific warning to date about the threat of foreign interference.

U.S. officials also believe that China does not want Trump to win a second term and has accelerated its criticism of the White House, expanding its efforts to shape public policy in America and to pressure political figures seen as opposed to Beijing’s interests.

The statement from William Evanina is believed to be the most pointed declaration by the U.S. intelligence community linking the Kremlin to efforts to get Trump reelected — a sensitive subject for a president who has rejected intelligence agency assessments that Russia tried to help him in 2016.

On Iran, the assessment said Tehran seeks to undermine U.S. democratic institutions as well as Trump and divide America before the election.

“Iran’s efforts along these lines probably will focus on online influence, such as spreading disinformation on social media and recirculating anti-U.S. content,” Evanina wrote. “Tehran’s motivation to conduct such activities is, in part, driven by a perception that President Trump’s re-election would result in a continuation of U.S. pressure on Iran in an effort to foment regime change.”

During a panel discussion later Friday at the DEF CON hacker convention, federal cybersecurity officials were asked which foreign threat they considered most serious. “I don’t think I would say one is scarier than the other per se. Certainly some of these adversaries are at little bit more experienced,” said the National Security Agency’s election lead, David Imbordino.

I wonder what the governments of Andorra and Liechtenstein are supporting in the election.

It's not surprising given the favoritism Trump has shown to Putin and the antipathy to China.

It gets worse as not only Russia boosting Trump election, the info gained is to be used by our own US Republican Senate during in investigation into Biden they will hold before the election.

And why is it that Trump cannot bring himself to confront Putin whereas we know Russian money was being paid to the Taliban to assassinate American soldiers? Imagine what the Pub reaction would have been if Obama had done this?

Putin appears to likely have something on Trump whereas the latter has become his lap-dog. On top of that, Trump's refusal to say he wouldn't use foreign help is basically traitorous, imo, and his courting of Russian help in 2016 was mind-blowing because the other Pubs just sat on their thumbs without even a pip of a complaint.

IMO, not only must Trump be voted out but also the congressional Pubs as well as their compliance with Russian interference is simply traitorous. Biden has denounced such interference even if it were to help him, so why not Trump? Whatever happened to flag-waving Republican patriotism?

My parents, who were staunch Republicans, must be turning over in their grave, and with them also must be the many men and women who were wiling to give up their lives so we could be free. Sad.
