What the Next 87 Days Will Be: Republicans & Russians Will Knowingly Work Together Against Biden [View all]
With a big thank you to FM123 for the MSNBC video! 
This YouTube version is posted for visibility.
What the next 88 days will be like:
Pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach is spreading claims about corruption" as part of Russia's efforts to manipulate the 2020 U.S. election against Joe Biden and in support of Donald Trump.
Derkach has been using Rudy Giuliani to spread his claims, along with Republican senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley.
Rachel:
What's happening in 2020 is that this is now the Republican led United States Senate accepting, and acting on, and effectively laundering and promoting dirt that the U.S. Intelligence community now publicly says is a Russian operation to mess with our election...
That's what the Republican Party in the United States Senate is willing to do to try to beat Joe Biden... they will run fake third party candidates that they think might peal off voters from Biden; they'll have their own lawyers... in WI... let's take over the post office ...
These are the terms on which they're waging this campaign: frivolous lawsuits, random fake third party candidacies, messing with the actual mechanism by which most of us will vote, and like in 2016, they've got Russia pulling alongside them ...
... the difference is that the Republican Party in the US Senate is helping the Russia effort along, explicitly... they can't plead ignorance after this public warning today from the country's top counterintelligence official... they know what they are doing.
It's not going to get better in the next 88 days ... while the rest of the country tries to stay alive in the midst of this catastrophic epidemic.
That's what this is going to be like for the next 88 days.
