One of the documents describes Putin and senior officials overseeing proxy efforts to spread claims that Biden, as vice president, engaged in criminal activity in his dealings with Ukraine and Burisma. The document says operatives affiliated with the Russian government advanced these narratives with U.S. officials and other prominent figures, through personal interactions as well as audio and documentary releases via U.S. and Ukrainian outlets.
It goes on to say these figures were conspiring to intensify their efforts as the election approached, aiming to “orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal” implicating Biden and the Democratic Party in order to help Trump win.
The document describes an intelligence assessment that Russian government-linked proxies were working to damage Biden’s candidacy ahead of the vote, relying in part on U.S. officials and other prominent people to amplify the narratives, though many of the people involved remain redacted in the public version.
He and his handlers know: they can literally release the truth, maga won’t read it anyway. And will believe his spoken lies and not the printed truth.
Because they have accepted the last part: do not believe the evidence of your eyes. Just listen and obey the the sect leader.
It seems more likely to me that they just fucked up.
True, they are indeed exceptionally incompetent. It’s just; I think it also no longer matters “what the truth is” for these people (MAGA). They just ignore it, they just no longer know what the truth is and just “fall back” to following dear leader. “He probably has a plan!”
I’d call it “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
Not so much fucked up, they just threw everything out without caring what was on it, and they simply declared “this proves us right, shut up”. And nobody is going to do anything about the fact that it proves them wrong. Say something, maybe, do something, not happening from anyone who can do anything.
Like when they handed a reporter a giant binder on camera, and claimed it was the health care plan they intended to release “in two weeks?”
Later, the journalist looked at the pages in the binder, and those that weren’t simply blank pages, were nothing but printed out documents and emails. None of it was any kind of a health care plan. It was like someone grabbed a random binder off a shelf, and said “Give them this, and tell them it’s a health care plan.”
Apparently, they didn’t care that the journalist would later expose the binder as a fraud, they got the visual of the hefty “health care plan” being handed to a journalist, and that was good enough.
