Democrats: Packets sent to Trump allies are part of foreign plot to damage Biden

Top congressional Democrats are sounding the alarm about a series of packets mailed to prominent allies of President Donald Trump — material they say is part of a foreign disinformation plot to damage former vice president Joe Biden, according to new details from a letter the lawmakers delivered to the FBI last week.

The packets, described to POLITICO by two people who have seen the classified portion of the Democrats’ letter, were sent late last year to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and then-White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

The packets were sent amid a Democratic push to impeach Trump over his effort to pressure Ukraine's president to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter, the sources said. Graham and Grassley denied having received the material in question, and Mulvaney and Nunes declined repeated requests for comment. One person familiar with the matter said the information was not turned over to the FBI. The FBI did not return a request for comment.

The letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray — authored by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the top Democrats on the House and Senate intelligence committees — also included a public request that the bureau brief all lawmakers. It came amid increasingly vocal warnings from Democrats, including from Biden’s presidential campaign, about foreign interference in the 2020 race and fear of another Kremlin-led effort to boost Trump’s re-election prospects.

1. Seriously anybody gives a shit about a made-up fake bribery allegation about a relative,

When Trump is literally killing hundreds of thousands of people with his COVID sabotage, and sending goons to kidnap and assault people on the streets?

If they think this will even register on any voter's radar, they are nuts.

No wonder Turd is losing by a wider margin every day.

Putin needs to fire his Trump campaign manager.

2. For real

Compared to the death and misery the ENTIRE Trump Crime family has imposed on us, nothing short of murder would keep me from voting for Joe. As I've noted before, Joe could shoot someone on Main Street in Newark, DE, and I'd still vote for him. Even if he shot me---unless he killed me

4. As George Will said, right now he doesn't care

about capital gains tax rates or any other of the conservatives' wet dreams. He just cares about getting rid of Trump. He has a lot of company from across the political spectrum.
