Roger Stone and Steve Bannon have been in full disinformation mode. Stone has appeared on the show of far-right radio commentator Alex Jones to trumpet groundless claims that Biden is trying to steal the election.
cnn.com/2020/11/13/bus…
Bannon is echoing similar conspiracy theories on his podcast, calling the election "a mass fraud."

cnn.com/2020/11/13/bus…
"Stop the Steal is a highly coordinated partisan political operation intent on bringing together conspiracy theorists, militias, hate groups & Trump supporters to attack the integrity of our election."

cnn.com/2020/11/13/bus…
Some of the violent rhetoric associated with the campaign has come from its own leaders.
"Clean your guns," said Dustin Stockton, one of the administrators of the Facebook Stop the Steal group.
"Things are going to get worse before they get better."

cnn.com/2020/11/13/bus…
In 2016: A federal suit filed in Ohio, for instance, accused Stone's Stop the Steal project of violating the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by "conspiring to intimidate, threaten, harass, or coerce voters on Election Day."

This fall, as the 2020 election drew closer, there was talk in right wing circles of dusting off the Stop the Steal campaign again

cnn.com/2020/11/13/bus…
"I'm thinking about bringing Stop the Steal out of retirement," said right wing activist Ali Alexander, in a video he circulated on social media in September. "In the next coming days we are going to build the infrastructure to stop the steal."

cnn.com/2020/11/13/bus…

📌Reminder: Joe diGenova represents the interests of indicted Oligarch Dymtro Firtash, who largely bankrolled the smear campaign against the Biden’s, to help Trump defeat Joe Biden
Parnas’ wife received wire transfers from a bank account in Russia.

The sum was $1M.

Firtash provided key documents that Giuliani used to further his discredited claim that former Vice President Joe Biden engaged in wrongdoing in Ukraine.

nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
Firtash hired two Trump-allied lawyers Victoria Toensing and Joseph diGenova who were already working with Giuliani on his dirt-digging mission, which has led to intense speculation that Firtash is helping to finance Giuliani’s Biden smear campaign

Russians Hacked Burisma at Center of Impeachment

It appears the Russians searched for potentially embarrassing material on the Bidens — the same kind of information that Trump wanted from Ukraine when he pressed for an inv’n of the Bidens and Burisma. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
The Russian tactics are strikingly similar to what American intelligence agencies say was Russia’s hacking of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign.

nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
Then, as now, the Russian hackers from a military intelligence unit known formerly as the G.R.U., and to private researchers by the alias “Fancy Bear,” used so-called phishing emails that appear designed to steal usernames and passwords. nytimes.com/2020/01/13/us/…
