  1. Sen Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and other republicans on Capitol Hill, have been unmasked as Russian operatives for disseminating Russian conspiracy theories, and for aiding and abetting Putin's efforts to interfere in the 2020 election. Last month, four lawmakers who make up the Democratic half of the Gang of Eight, the group of congressional and intelligence committee leaders who are privy to top-secret intelligence, demanded a briefing for all members of Congress focused on foreign interference in the 2020 election, based on their assertions that lawmakers are being targeted by those meddling efforts. They also have urged Trump to publicly reveal additional information about the nature of the foreign-influence campaign. Intelligence officials told House lawmakers last week that the Russians are seeking to boost Trump in the 2020 campaign. The public version of the letter was vague about those threats, but the classified addendum to the letter specifically names Sen Ron Johnson’s investigation as a vehicle for “laundering”  Russian propaganda for the foreign influence campaign aimed at denigrating Biden. The addendum states that the Ukrainian lawmaker linked to the Kremlin, Andrii Derkach, sent information packets about Biden to Johnson, Grassley and other Trump stooges who have pushed similar Russian conspiracy theories, as part of Putin's disinformation campaign on America. NCSC Director William Evanina, along with other senior national security officials, briefed lawmakers in multiple classified sessions in late July and August. His statement explicitly accused the Ukrainian politician, Derkach, of undermining Biden through weaponized leaks. Derkach is known to have met late last year with Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. The packets were sent by Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian lawmaker who met with Trump’s personal lawyer Giuliani in Ukraine last December. Andrii Derkach, who was formerly aligned with Ukraine’s pro-Russia Party of Regions, is also an alumnus of Moscow’s FSB academy, formerly known as the Dzerzhinsky Higher School of the KGB.  Andrii Derkach’s father Leonid was a KGB operative who later became the head of Ukrainian intelligence, and who was fired in 2004 shortly before Ukraine’s Orange Revolution. The packets were sent late last year to Devin Nunes,  Lindsey Graham, and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and then-White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, declined to answer a colleague's question about whether he had received derogatory information about Joe Biden from Andrii Derkach. During that closed-door meeting in late July — a transcript of which was made publicly available — Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) pressed Nunes about reports indicating that he was one of several GOP lawmakers to whom packets of Russian propaganda were delivered from Derkach in December 2019 that contained allegations about Joe Biden. Derkach has confirmed he sent the packages to Nunes, as well as GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham. Nunes refused to answer the question. Maloney responded by suggesting that Nunes's refusal to answer "speaks volumes" and indicated that committee staffers are "in possession of evidence that a package was received" by Nunes. 😲 That evidence, according to committee officials, is in the form of a DHL shipping receipt that was sent to the Intelligence Committee’s majority office shortly after the package was sent to Nunes. "If any public official or member of any campaign is contacted by any nation-state, or anybody acting on behalf of a nation-state, about influencing or interfering with an election then that's something the FBI would want to know about,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said on June 12, 2019 — a day before Trump rebuked him and said he would probably accept such help.

  2. Konstantin Rykov is a propagandist for the Putin government machine. “Rykov is considered to be one of the leading pro-Kremlin bloggers in Russia,” said Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia . Konstantin Rykov is the Russian who created Putin's troll farm, and has boasted online that he helped get Trump elected. His claims of involvement with the Trump team can't be dismissed for 2 reasons: first, he is very close to Putin, and had a long history of involvement with top levels of the Russian government; and, second, his description of how Trump’s campaign put together an effective internet strategy for information warfare is very close to the evidence revealed in the Mueller Report. At about 11:14pm on November 6th, 2012, enough states were called for President Obama that he was declared the winner of the election. At 11:29pm, Trump blasted out the following defiant tweet: Trump: "We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!" 11:29 PM - Nov 6, 2012 Konstantin Rykov saw Trump’s tweet pop up in his Twitter feed. Almost exactly four years later, on November 12th, 2016, Konstantin Rykov tells what happened next in a pair of Facebook posts. In the first post, Rykov explained how he first made contact with Trump: "Without a moment’s thought, I wrote him a reply, “I’m ready. What should I do?” Trump replied with a picture. In the picture he was sitting in the armchair of his jet, smiling cheerfully giving the thumbs-up sign. Rykov explaines how things went from there: "For four years and two days .. it was necessary to get to everyone in the brain and grab all possible means of mass perception of reality. Ensure the victory of Donald in the election of the US President. Then create a political alliance between the US, France, Russia (and a number of other states) and establish a new world order. Our idea was insane, but realizable. In order to understand everything for the beginning, it was necessary to “digitize” all possible types of modern man. Donald decided to invite for this task — the special scientific department of the “Cambridge University.” British scientists from Cambridge Analytica suggested making 5,000 existing human psychotypes — the “ideal image” of a possible Trump supporter. Then .. put this image back on all psychotypes and thus pick up a universal key to anyone and everyone. Then it was only necessary to upload this data to information flows and social networks. And we began to look for those who would have coped with this task better than others. At the very beginning there was not very much. A pair of hacker groups, civil journalists from WikiLeaks and political strategist Mikhail Kovalev. The next step was to develop a system for transferring tasks and information, so that no intelligence and NSA could burn it. Keep in mind, Konstantin Rykov revealed all of this on Facebook just four days after Trump was elected. It was before people started asking questions about Cambridge Analytica or targeted social media ads. Rykov might have been boasting as he spiked the football in the end zone. What he didn’t think at that point, however, is that he had any reason to hide what he’d done. His comments were also made well before details of Russian meddling in the presidential election were reported in the mainstream media. If Rykov wasn’t involved, then how on earth would he know as much as he confessed?
