BREAKING IN FEB: Brexit was flipped by Putin and Mueller is now investigating

Me and a dozen others screamed and hollered about US vote suppression for years and the media only caught up when Georgia Republicans stole votes AGAIN last November.....

Why does it take the media so FRIGGIN LONG to connect both Trump's stolen election and Brexit back to Putin?! Or maybe Britain is discussing this and the US media is just slow and stupid and distracted by football and other dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb shit (and while you're reading all that dumb, throw in a concussion and depressed footballers).

SEE THE GUARDIAN BELOW:

Mueller questions Cambridge Analytica director Brittany Kaiser

Second former employee of controversial data firm to be questioned by special counsel’s inquiry into Russia collusion

Carole Cadwalladr for the Guardian
Sun 17 Feb 2019

A director of the controversial data company Cambridge Analytica, who appeared with Arron Banks at the launch of the Leave.EU campaign, has been subpoenaed by the US investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

A spokesman for Brittany Kaiser, former business development director for Cambridge Analytica – which collapsed after the Observer revealed details of its misuse of Facebook data – confirmed that she had been subpoenaed by special counsel Robert Mueller, and was cooperating fully with his investigation.

Damian Collins, chairman of parliament’s inquiry into fake news, said it was “no surprise” that Kaiser was under scrutiny by Mueller because “her work connected her to WikiLeaks, Cambridge Analytica and [its parent company] SCL, the Trump campaign, Leave.EU and Arron Banks”.

He said it was now vital Britain had its own inquiry into foreign interference: “We should not be leaving this to the Americans.”

I don't remember any hard implication about Putin, but he certainly benefits if UK has trouble due to leaving the EU.

And when asked about it as he was leaving, said he couldn't remember what he went in there for.

I'm sure other DUers recall other suspicious indicators.

It also explains why Theresa May has lost those procedure votes about how to do it.

I think that people are realizing that they were fucked by Putin too and are just trying to stop it.

Remember this all happened at around the same time that the Nazi group almost won in France? Putin again.

Sort of a symbolic anointing by the brits? Very very coincidental?

of things that required the utmost in honesty and integrity bc the Americans and others didn't have the same scruples as they, by and large. That, was from the American POWs themselves.
The last sentence reminded me of it.

So I don't doubt this is true - not to mention his obvious interference in our own election.

So who will lead a new Atlantic task force against Putin and the Russian mob? This shit's so real, so interconnected... and something big and intercontinental needs to be in place BEFORE Mueller releases his report.

We need to join forces with our long time allies to investigate and rid ourselves of his influence. I don't know who would be responsible - Interpol?

She didn’t bring up Russian interence but the similarities to the orange maggot’s elevation and the yes on exit brexit were so similar it is obvious Russian was involved and Murdoch also has a connection.

Is the House getting to Putin's larger interference in Britain, France and the US?

Seems like a no-brainer.... oh, that's right, if we start conceptualizing that we're in a cyber war with Russia and a host of others, there's no time for gladiators, I mean football, and the other end-of-empire delights.
