It's amazing to me that this isn't bigger news. It's all over Lemmy, of course, but nowhere else. Here's a guy who was intimately involved with Giuliani's schemes, not only admitting it was all orchestrated by Russia, but pointing out the politicians who were in on it (one of whom was right there, on that committee).
It seems to me that in any other timeline, this would put that Congressman in hot water. But in ours, it was just Wednesday.
I agree with you.
I'm not given to conspiracy theories, but the way the media is covering this whole election has me shaking my head. For a while there, it seemed like even the left leaning media was barely covering positive Biden stuff and they were all promoting anything claiming Trump is in the lead, even when the source was questionable. Then it seemed to swing the other way, around the time of the SotU address. And now we have this, that should really be big news, and it's like a foot note.
I just don't get it - it feels like we're being manipulated, but why?
Name the members of congress, it was Ron Johnson and Pete sessions who were called out by lev Parnas as taking orders from the Kremlin and are traitors to the united states
