Thanks for this excellent timeline regarding the attempt by GOP members to smear President Biden in their efforts to elect their flawed candidate. In some other articles about this Russian interference, the roles of Rudy Giuliani and US Attorney General Bill Barr have been downplayed or omitted. This omission appears to be an attempt to whitewash the interference in the Trump administration by the Russians.
“Brady also made the patently false claim that he’d vetted Smirnov’s travel documents and found that they corroborated his allegations” was this under oath? If so that’s grounds for disbarment of this tool……of Putin
The Republican position seems to me that though they don't have the evidence the stories must be true. OK. That means that even though there is no actual evidence that the Republicans are lizard people, they surely must be.
Excellent piece. One nitpick: Kiev is the Russian spelling. Kyiv is the Ukrainian spelling. Language matters, even in the face of Russian kompromat.
When will there be consequences for the congressmen and senators who shared this Russian disinformation and pushed it into American discourse?
Where’s the bumper sticker:
Trump - Putin 2024?
Or is it Putin - Trump?

When are consequences coming for Scott Brady, former US Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, Trump shill, and all-time Putin Puppet?
