US government official accusing Romania, a NATO ally, of having "statistically unlikely, if not impossible" election results, with quite literally no evidence, because his preferred pro-Russia candidate lost.
His citation is an "article" written by a disinformation account.
This is the "analysis" of statistical impossibility in question, which omits the fact that Romania has a multiparty system and that it is completely normal for voters to unify in a second round, especially against extremist candidates.
Tonight, the Senate votes on Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to become Director of National Intelligence.
Here's a quick thread recap of who exactly Tulsi is.
In November, after Tulsi's nomination was publicized, Russian state media immediately began loudly lobbying in her favor.
Several former aides spoke out with concerns about Tulsi regularly reading and sharing articles from RT (Russia Today), even after being advised it was unreliable.
ABC obtained a memo from Gabbard to her staffers which lamented the United States' 'hostility toward Putin.""
JUST-RELEASED: In further written questioning, Sen. Warner asks Tulsi if she was aware that the foundation that paid $20000 for her trip to Italy is chaired by Pierre Louvrier, a Russian oligarch-connected businessman.
Tulsi says she doesn't recall.
Warner follows up by saying Louvrier's assets in Russia are literally on his Wikipedia page.
Tulsi says she doesn't recall.
Sen. Heinrich confronts Tulsi for lying to him in the public hearing that she was unaware that the pro-Assad Grand Mufti in Syria she met in 2017 had threatened to unleash suicide bombers on the US.
Tulsi says she doesn't recall.
Sen. Gillibrand confronts Tulsi over her comments calling Japan's efforts to enhance its defense infrastructure "escalatory" (Japan is a key American military and intelligence partner).
