Russiagate II: Kamala’s Revenge

The shine on Kamala Harris is wearing off fast.

People forget that the first few weeks of her 2019 campaign were not a total disaster area; it took a few weeks for the shine to wear off. 

But now it’s wearing off, so the Democrats are activating Operation Russiagate II.

The Biden-Harris administration is making noise about Russia interfering in our elections again. Yesterday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced indictments and seizures of internet domains related to Russian interference in the election. 

But here’s the thing: Various powers try to interfere in American elections. That is just reality. China has repeatedly attempted to interfere in American elections. Iran is attempting to interfere in the American election.

So it’s not a surprise that Russia will try to interfere in the American election. The difference is that when China does it, it is not a national news story. When Iran does it, it’s buried.

But when it’s Russia, the basic idea is that Russia is going to intervene in the election in such deep and nefarious ways that everyone will be deceived.

This feels like the Biden-Harris administration is setting up the predicate for a crackdown on social media, for a crackdown on tech companies that allow free speech, for a crackdown on X or Right-wing media. 

The Biden administration is going to play this to the hilt. 

According to Mediaite

The Biden administration is preparing to publicly accuse Russia of launching a sustained campaign to influence the 2024 presidential elections using on Kremlin-controlled media and online platforms to spread disinformation.

The accusation will be part of a broader set of actions expected to be announced on Wednesday, including law enforcement efforts aimed at curbing the alleged Russian operation.

This only makes sense in the context of 2020, when American defense and intelligence apparatus were warning people like Mark Zuckerberg they needed to shut down the Hunter Biden story because it might be Russian disinformation.

The Biden-Harris administration is setting the ground for that right now. Before the campaign ends, the Biden administration is going to make claims it’s Russian disinformation.

This is a convenient excuse to siphon off any sort of viewership of that information.

Mediaite continues, writing:

According to four sources who talked exclusively to CNN, Russian state media outlet RT is a central focus of the US response, with officials viewing it as a key tool in the Kremlin’s propaganda machine with disinformation being funneled through both American and foreign voices. 

That would not be a shock. RT obviously has a vested interest in particular points of view being elevated. But the question is: How much real impact is that going to have on the election?

The reason the media are covering this extensively is that they want to send this message: The only way Donald Trump can win is if the Russians somehow manipulate Americans into voting for him. 

But the reality is that Russia and its ability to interfere through disinformation in the American election is extremely limited.

The reality is that the opposition to Harris is driven by the fact that Biden’s an unpopular president and she’s a terrible candidate. Support for President Trump is the same as it ever was. For some people, it is driven by a personal liking for Trump. For people like me, the driving force behind voting for him is that his first presidency had a lot of tremendous policy attached to it.

But we’re going to hear all about Russia and disinformation.

We’ve seen this movie before.

Feds Raid Homes Of NYC Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ Top Aides

Federal law enforcement officials conducted raids on several of New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams‘ top aides this week in what appears to be a new criminal investigation that is unrelated to the federal corruption investigation into Adams and his campaign’s alleged ties to the Turkish government.

A local NBC News affiliate reported that the FBI executed search warrants at the home of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks and a home shared by First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Schools Chancellor David Banks.

The New York Times reported that investigators also seized phones belonging to New York City Police Commissioner Edward Caban and Timothy Pearson, a senior adviser to the mayor.

The Times added that a consultant, Terence Banks, was also searched. Terence Banks is brothers with Philip Banks and David Banks.

“Investigators have not indicated to us the mayor or his staff are targets of any investigation,” claimed City Hall lawyer Lisa Zornberg. “As a former member of law enforcement, the mayor has repeatedly made clear that all members of the team need to follow the law.”

The criminal investigation is being run out of the Southern District of New York, which focuses on government corruption cases and is also conducting the separate criminal investigation into Adams.

The New York Times reported last month that prosecutors in the case involving the Turkish government recently served a new round of grand jury subpoenas in their criminal investigation, including to Adams himself, whom they are now investigating.

Prior to this development, most information that was publicly available pointed to prosecutors focusing only on his campaign and not the mayor directly, even though they seized his electronic devices last year.

The investigation centers around allegations that Adams’ election campaign received illegal campaign contributions from the Turkish government, possibly in exchange for actions taken by Adams, who has close ties to the country.

The criminal probe has focused on free upgrades the mayor received on Turkish Airlines flights and on Adams pressuring then-Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro in 2021 to allow the Turkish government to at least have permission to occupy on a temporary basis a new high-rise consulate in Manhattan that the Turkish government built, which fire officials would not sign off on because of safety issues.

Adams’ alleged intervention “paved the way” for Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to preside over the grand opening of their 35-story tower in September 2021. Fire officials said that there were serious safety concerns with the building’s fire safety system. The building, which cost $300 million, is the country’s most expensive foreign mission project.
