Russia Seeks to Stop Biden From Winning, FBI Chief Wray Says

Moscow views him as part of an anti-Russian American establishment, FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday.

Russia is seeking to denigrate former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, primarily by using social media and influence operations, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned Thursday.

Russia is carrying out efforts to sow discord in the U.S. — primarily to hurt Biden — because Moscow views him as part of an anti-Russian American establishment, Wray told lawmakers during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing Thursday on threats to the nation.

“Russia continues to try to influence our elections, primarily through what we call malign foreign influence,” Wray said. It’s an assessment sharply at odds with President Donald Trump, who still dismisses as a hoax the intelligence community’s finding that Russia worked to help him win the White House in 2016.

U.S. national security agencies haven’t yet seen Russia trying to break into election infrastructure as it did in 2016 when it hacked voting databases, Wray said.

8. No Kidding

I'm a bit flummoxed that he's actually saying this out loud. I guess it's THAT bad!

3. Fuck Vladimir Putin and his puppet.

4. The first part is obvious...

The last sentence, not buying that part.

5. They're not hacking election infrastructure because they are working with Senators Johnson and

Grassley to cook up dirt on Biden instead. I hope the media is ready for the propoganda they are getting ready to unleash on the American people in the form of an "investigation" that was run by Goul-iani and Putin.

7. So, what are they going to do about it?

I'm sure what they know, or are saying, is the tip of the iceberg, and much too close to the election.

9. They will attempt to change vote totals or mess with voter registration.

Will they succeed? That's the big question.
