Smart foreign policy expert sent me a note in September that said if Russia's objective in its election interference, which many believe is ongoing, is to undermine our democracy, then it stands to reason that one of the best ways to do this would be to ... 1/
promote a divided government as an outcome of the midterms. Since Republicans control the Congress, that would inherently require helping the Democrats. The person wondered noted no journalists and pundits were even asking about this. 2/
great example of Democrat privilege built into media coverage (when they win, it's just that they win. When Republicans win, it's literally Russia!), the role that Democrats' paid info operations play in driving news coverage, the overhyping of Russia's 2016 operations, etc.
Correspondent notes that there was this July article, fwiw: politico.eu/article/donald…
