Olga Lautman: It's infuriating that the Senate drops a report that verifies everything that's been reported over the last 4 years in the middle of the Democratic National Convention. It verifies that Trump worked w/ the Kremlin to win the election in 2016.

Olga Lautman: If you're a Republican, this is the perfect time to drop the report because it's not getting much reporting in the news due to the DNC.

Olga Lautman:I read the 960+ page report yesterday & I personally knew everything in it already; I believe a lot of it was taken from open sources. It goes back to the whole issue that Roger Stone & Paul Manafort were central to it, & they've known Trump since 1980's

Olga Lautman: If the Kremlin had dropped a bomb in a US city, everyone would know about it, Americans would band together to fight back. Since it's a hybrid warfare, it's easier to hide attacks.

Olga Lautman: This is the same tactic Russia has used in many other countries but in the US it became a partisan issue.

Olga Lautman:Two things worry me about the report: Repubs knew this before impeachment hearings & they refused to have witnesses; also, this time, one of the attacks is going through Ukraine to attack our elections.They're working with Barr & Giuliani to harm Biden.

Olga Lautman: I know the capabilities of the Kremlin & what they can do but I never thought the GOP would work with them to maintain power.

Olga Lautman: Putin is actually worse; he seeks ultimate humiliation & destruction of the US b/c he blames us for the break-up of the USSR. He wants to reinstate the USSR & weaken the west.

Olga Lautman: I don't understand this reset. Putin has done nothing to prove the Kremlin is deserving of a reset. As we speak, Putin is interfering in Belarus.

Olga Lautman: Trump has had Russian agents living on his properties. He's worked with Russian oligarchs, & his loyalty lies with the Kremlin. He's openly working with the Kremlin to rig & steal the 2020 election.

Olga Lautman: I never thought I'd say our elections are in danger but unless Republicans wake up & partner with Democrats, we won't have free & fair elections.

Olga Lautman: Our media cleans things up & normalizes them.

Olga Lautman: Russia has been supporting far right parties in Europe to cause strain & collapse, even among leadership. They're using multiple methods, incl kompromat.
@olgaNYC1211
@olgaNYC1211
Olga Lautman: This is what the Kremlin does: They buy people. It's corruption out in the open, & then you see McConnell refuse to acknowledge this report. Putin is a murderous thug. Maybe when his regime collapses we can discuss a reset.

@olgaNYC1211
Olga Lautman: Where have you seen a President that Russia put a bounty on the heads of American soldiers & our President does nothing about it? Complete silence. I've never seen anything like it. Trump pulls troops from Germany instead.
