Maybe you should post a thread about what Obama did to stop Russian interference in our elections. Nunes warned him in 2014. Originally Posted by bambino

Trump's intelligence chief resigned after the White House repeatedly suppressed his warnings about Russian interference, New York Times reports

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats in recent months saw his warnings about threats posed by Russia watered down by the White House, The New York Times reported Sunday.

According to The Times, a dossier by Coats on Russian interference in the 2018 midterms was altered by the White House to contain less critical language.
Coats' resignation was announced Sunday in a tweet by President Donald Trump, who wants a loyalist, Rep. John Ratcliffe of Texas, to replace him.

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats repeatedly found his warnings about the threat posed by Russia suppressed by the White House, The New York Times reported Sunday amid his resignation from the post.

According to The Times, Coats has often found himself at odds with President Donald Trump over Russia, a situation that worsened in recent months.

Coats saw Russia as an adversary to the US, The Times wrote, and pushed for closer cooperation with European countries to counter it, but the White House did not agree. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

I want to state for the record that Russia buying ads on Facebook to influence America is just the newest propaganda effort that they have engaged in over the last 60-80 years and they will continue no matter what we do.

Now, we need to install Sr. Juan Guaido in Venezuela, since we have appointed him President of Argentina, which no one disputes is our right to do, even though the people of Argentina theoretically elected Maduro.
