NCSC Director William Evanina, who recently came under fire for a milquetoast statement on Russian interference, is back with a new statement equating Russian disinformation campaigns with ... the Chinese government doing normal government things dni.gov/index.php/news…
Of value is the acknowledgement that pro-Kremlin Ukranian MP Andriy Derkach is "spreading claims about corruption – including through publicizing leaked phone calls – to undermine former Vice President Biden’s candidacy." Guess who met with Derkach? Rudy. washingtonpost.com/world/europe/u…
Derkach is the Ukranian who sent "packets of information" intended to malign Joe Biden to Devin Nunes, Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham. They, along with Senator Ron Johnson, have yet to answer questions about their #CongressionalLaunderingpolitico.com/news/2020/07/3…

Hard to imagine a more brazen abuse of power than letting off your own accomplice for deceiving investigators about your collusion with a hostile foreign power’s attack on American democracy. politico.com/news/2020/07/1…
We’re not the only ones saying it: Here’s Bill Barr in his confirmation hearing telling the Senate that even *he* thinks exchanging clemency for obstruction of justice is probably illegal. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/ba…
