Welcome to the C-SPAM Russia investigation thread.

In this thread, we will focus on the foreign subversion of American democracy, the GOP's infiltration by KGB agents, and how the Democratic Party lost 2016 because of Russian infiltration of popular platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitch and Twitter.

Generally this will be a place to discuss how owned the Republicans are going to be by daddy Mueller when he arrests and executes their political leadership for high treason.



Some terms you need to be familiar with:

Kompromat - compromising information collected for use in blackmailing, discrediting, or manipulating someone, typically for political purposes.

Dezinformatsiya - false information supplied by a government to the media with the intention of influencing the policies or opinions of those who receive it

Nomenklatura - a political class of powerful, privileged elites

Maskirovka - political or military deception, esp. as practised against Western intelligence

Dasvidanya - phrase used by Russian spies meaning "I've received my orders"



Timeline:



Likely outcomes:

-Mueller finds GOP leadership responsible for collusion with a Slavic power, the GOP top brass are arrested and arraigned in Federal court and sent to military prison, then probably executed.
-Moderate Republicans take back their party - they are wrong headed in a lot of ways, but the majority of them are well intentioned patriots like Senator John McCain.
-The Supreme Court declares Hillary Clinton to be President of The United States on account of electoral fraud and manipulation by Soviet spies.

Anyway there's tons to discuss here and it's pretty freaking epic to watch the GOP implode while Trumpists and Trumpsters meltdown over their fake president and his gay lover Vladimir Putin.

pretty much every gop politician(and some dems) have been taking russian crime bribes in some way or other

for most of them it's just another crime bribe to add to the pile though and isn't the main driving force behind their policy or whatever

you should know that concepts like 'propaganda' and 'blackmail' and 'election interference' were something invented by Stalin and Lenin in 1923. You have to use the Russian word because they coined not only the terms but they also coined the game. The game of deception
