re: If He Needs to, Can Obama Successfully Claim "Presidential Immunity" For His Crimes?

Your argument is that because a line from an intelligence report says “Russia didn’t fix votes”, this means they didn’t interfere

---

No dumbass, my argument, if your reading comprehension is better this time, is that the original report played up the Russian interference to levels it was not even close to.

What about this is so hard?

First off, you are now acknowledging Russian interference.

Second, Mueller/Senate/Ratcliffe played up based on what? Were officials ever proclaiming Russia fixed votes or stole the election?

You’re telling me Ratcliffe’s report from last week played up Russian interference? Ratcliffe is a Trump guy.

Another Aggie randomly talking about tossing salad, why do you do this to yourselves?

Claiming Presidential Immunity will be tantamount to admitting guilt. He sees nothing wrong with what he and his minions did.

Did you forget about the size of his ego?

You pretending like a couple thousand dollars of Facebook posts are actual interference is more stupid.

Ratcliffe’s report is a week old bro

On July 13, 2018, a federal grand jury sitting in the District of Columbia returned an indictment against 12 Russian military intelligence officers for their alleged roles in interfering with the 2016 United States (U.S.) elections. The indictment charges 11 defendants, Boris Alekseyevich Antonov, Dmitriy Sergeyevich Badin, Nikolay Yuryevich Kozachek, Aleksey Viktorovich Lukashev, Artem Andreyevich Malyshev, Sergey Aleksandrovich Morgachev, Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk, Aleksey Aleksandrovich Potemkin, Ivan Sergeyevich Yermakov, Pavel Vyacheslavovich Yershov, and Viktor Borisovich Netyksho, with a computer hacking conspiracy involving gaining unauthorized access into the computers of U.S. persons and entities involved in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, stealing documents from those computers, and staging releases of the stolen documents to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The indictment also charges these defendants with aggravated identity theft, false registration of a domain name, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Two defendants, Aleksandr Vladimirovich Osadchuk and Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev, are charged with a separate conspiracy to commit computer crimes, relating to hacking into the computers of U.S. persons and entities responsible for the administration of 2016 U.S. elections, such as state boards of elections, secretaries of state, and U.S. companies that supplied software and other technology related to the administration of U.S. elections. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C. issued a federal arrest warrant for each of these defendants upon the grand jury’s return of the indictment.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Jeanette Manfra, the head of cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, said she couldn't talk about classified information publicly, but in 2016, "We saw a targeting of 21 states and an exceptionally small number of them were actually successfully penetrated. We were able to determine that the scanning and probing of voter registration databases was coming from the Russian government."

Russia has been using social media platforms to attack political enemies since at least 2013 under the auspices of the IRA, according to a US Senate Intelligence Committee report. A Justice Department indictment filed in 2018 and other reports have described hundreds of paid Russian trolls operating disinformation campaigns with an annual budget in the millions. A management group oversees the various departments - graphics, search engine optimization, IT, and finance departments among them. The trolls are told to watch American TV shows like House of Cards and are given grammar lessons. To hide their Russian identity, the trolls use proxy servers, communicate in English, and use fake identities to establish hundreds of accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media. Within time, those accounts gain followers and became more influential. In early 2023, Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Russian private military company Wagner Group, said he founded the IRA. Prigozhin is now better known as the mercenary chief who led a military uprising against Russian generals. He died in an apparent plane crash on August 23, 2023 two months after leading an aborted coup against Putin's government.

Russia has spent over $300 million attempting to win over politicians and political parties in dozens of countries since 2014, and it plans to spend even more money in future years, U.S. officials told media outlets Tuesday, the latest allegation of Russian meddling in foreign politics.

An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine.

Now you could just go read the Senate committee or Ratcliffe’s report, but I realize none of this will snap you out of the daydream.
