Lawmakers were briefed that Russia is looking to help Trump
win in 2020!!!
Well folks here we go again!!!
Per Washington (CNN)
The intelligence community's top election security official delivered a briefing to lawmakers last week warning them that the intelligence community believes Russia is already taking steps to interfere in the 2020 election with the goal of helping President Donald Trump win, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.House Republicans got very upset during the briefing delivered by election security official Shelby Pierson, the source said.
The New York Times, which first reported the February 13 briefing, said that afterwards, Trump chastised outgoing acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire for allowing the briefing to take place. Trump was concerned the Democrats present would use it against him, reported the Times, citing people familiar with the exchange.

On Wednesday, he announced he was naming Richard Grenell, a staunch loyalist and current US ambassador to Germany, as acting DNI despite him not having experience in intelligence. Two administration officials told the Times the timing of the Grenell announcement and Russia intelligence report is coincidental.

The Repubs have no shame anymore. They only care about power, prestige, and money. They are frogs and toads.

I'm hearing, that trump found out about the briefing from Devin Nunes, the little rat that keeps running to trump with all the info. A traitor to this country.

Re: Lawmakers were briefed that Russia is looking to help Trump
Of course he'd be upset.....he doesn't want his base to realize Russia would interfere like they did in the last election. And while we're on the subject of elections, it would be great if someone would actually track where all the voting machines Ivanka has purchased are going.
