🚨Guess who pushed FAKE Biden-in-Ukraine disinformation before Giuliani, Trump, Don Jr & the GOP propaganda machine? SPUTNIK🤬 Like giving candy to a baby, Russia feeds conspiracy theories to help Trump. Seems the Kremlin is already aboard TrumpTrain 2020. theintercept.com/2019/05/10/rum…
The Intercept notes Sputnik was an early propagator of the general Ukraine-Dems-collusion conspiracy theory. That Russian propaganda has now evolved into a more precision disinformation campaign against Biden by Trump, Giuliani, RW media. NB Sputnik planted that idea too—in 2014. 
In 2014 Russian propaganda went off-the-rails demonizing Ukraine, w/ a blizzard of fake news to justify annexing Crimea & invading Ukraine after Ukrainians rose up to oust Putin's puppet. Russia's disinformation said Ukr's democracy movement was a US coup, invoking Hunter Biden.
Biden-Ukraine-collusion conspiracy theory may be the first clear indication of Kremlin-based disinformation campaign to help Trump in 2020 election. Russians are masters at this—muddy facts just enough to sully reputations & turn off voters. Is Giuliani a knowing or useful idiot?
So Giuliani cancelled his trip b/c Ukraine rebuffed him, sparing him the embarrassment of failing to find the nonexistent. Rudy's search for the "real collusion" is like OJ seeking the "real killer"
🤔I do wonder if he registered w/ FARA for all his foreign work? @Matthew_Kupfer
