Putin's Tool?

Looks like Trump was an unwitting friend of the Russians for years. And we still have naive pawns at work today, passing on Russian propaganda.

Also, if you think Russian Interference would ever have been designed to help Biden, you seriously misunderstand what Russian Government's objectives are. They wouldn't want to back an essentially "normal" President, especially if the alternative was someone who would stand up before the world and disavow their own Intelligence Agency's assertions about Russian Interference.

jim // if you think Russian Interference would ever have been designed to help Biden,//

I didn't say Russian interference, I said interference.

You accept that there was interference (Russian) in 2016, but you refused to accept that there was any interference, from any source, in 2020.
Interference was there & bad when it got Trump in, but didn't exist when he was taken out.

[jim360]

Again, please point me to where I ever said that. The only sense I can make is if you are conflating interference during the campaign, with interference at the ballot box itself, which would be fraud. The former is almost certain to have happened, to some extent or another; the latter did not, or, at least, not on the scales that have been alleged, and certainly not as a mass programme of fraud by ever adding non-existent votes, or switching ballots, or ballot stuffing etc.

"Do you favour only a certain kind of interference where the outcome is agreeable to you? "

I think that is a question that really ought to be put back very squarely to you.
I take seriously allegations that are proven, not those that are pure fantasy
And by the way, as it happens the Trump allegations are much more serious: he has suggested the election was "stolen" by voter fraud, something even his lawyers have now apparently disowned him for.

//he has suggested the election was "stolen" by voter fraud, something even his lawyers have now apparently disowned him for.//

Apparently he wants to use the impeachment trial as a platform for continuing to bang on about how the election was stolen, rather than actually concentrating on his defence against the relevant charges against him.
Unsurprisingly, his lawyers decided they couldn't work with that. What an idiot.
