The Russians Are Still At It

July 25, 2019 at 7:45 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Washington Post: “You might have missed it amid the clipped one-word answers, political grandstanding and punditry. But former special counsel Robert Mueller issued a sharp warning on Wednesday regarding foreign interference in the 2020 election: ‘It wasn’t a single attempt. They’re doing it as we sit here. And they expect to do it during the next campaign.'”

“There was no topic that the halting and reluctant witness spoke more forcefully and extensively on, telling lawmakers that efforts by Moscow — and other foreign entities — to interfere in U.S. elections are ‘among the most serious’ challenges to U.S. democracy.”
