It is hard to think of a more powerful, viral in-kind contribution that Rudy could have given Biden.
Can’t overstate how turned off casual voters were by Trump humiliating Biden about his son in first debate. Have heard it repeatedly from non political types.

Imagine sharing this as some indication of Biden’s purported deficiencies.

A staple technique of Russian disinformation is to sandwich the garbage between something real that other people, decent people *want* to believe (in this case, a father's real love for his son). This conditions the target to believe the NEXT drop: a lie. Please be careful.

is, do we think there something still out there- something outrageously explosive- that would seriously damage Biden that we don't already know about?
