🚨Russian Hackers’ Still Helping Trump🚨 Their New Target: Vulnerable Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill in Red State Missouri. Same GRU behind 2016's DNC cyber-attack targeted @clairecmc as she began her 2018 re-election campaign. thedailybeast.com/russian-hacker…
In 2016 Russian GRU targeted swing states to tip them to Trump. In 2018 Russia's targeting key Democrat McCaskill to help Trump grow his slim Republican majority. Putin is all-in on his alliance w/ Trump. I've always said, their real enemy is democracy & Dems who want to keep it.
Putin wanted Trump b/c he'd lift sanctions, normalize Putin & kleptocracy. Win-win for autocrats—Catastrophic loss for everyone else. If they succeed, down goes democracy, rule of law, our freedoms, our kids' futures. Russia's f*kery continues b/c Trump's ok w/ it & GOP needs it.
This is the same parallelism, a kind of open pubic collusion/conspiracy, we saw in 2016. Russia's GRU hackers targeted #McCaskill campaign around the same time that Trump held a rally in Missouri calling for crowd to vote her out of office. Russia is listening & acting for Trump.
Senator #McCaskill on being targeted by GRU: “Russia continues to engage in cyber warfare against our democracy… It is outrageous that they think they can get away with this. I will not be intimidated. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, Putin is a thug and a bully."
