"SNIP......
Joe Biden, citing intelligence briefings that he is now receiving, warned Friday night that Russia and China were both actively engaged in trying to sow doubt in the American electoral system, the Washington Post reports.
Said Biden: We know from before and I guarantee you I know now because now I get briefings again. The Russians are still engaged in trying to delegitimize our electoral process. Fact.
He added: China and others are engaged as well in activities that are designed for us to lose confidence in the outcome.

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)He's probably subject to the usual prohibitions against revealing classified information, but since Biden has governmental experience, he knows what he can say and what he can't say. And how not to compromise the security of the Oval Office by meeting with Russian spies without an interpreter present. Unlike some people running for president in 2020.

(32,681 posts)Russia is all in with trump. I hate to say this, but if nothing will be done to stop the interference, I hope that China is leaning towards Biden.

(3,860 posts)He's alienated all our allies and undermined our diplomatic and security standing in East Asia, as well as giving them a free pass for human rights abuses and subjugating Hong Kong.

(86,534 posts)Since he's the obvious nominee, I guess it's doable. And I can imagine that the people preparing them are quite relieved about it.

(34,661 posts)concerned. Like everyone else,the usual briefs do not begin until the Official Nomination. Some thing is up that they feel Biden needs to be brought into the Loop.
This is a Game Changer. Almost a Checkmate of Trump by his own Security Department.

(34,661 posts)the new Trump Ad that is being used by Sinclair,Heartland and Scrppits media was intended to be a push back. Accusing Biden of Defunded the Cops and a stoog of China.
Loving it,a new can of Worms being opened. Wonder if Lady G will issue a comment this week end.
