The Good Old USA Project
Two US State Department indictments outline ongoing Russian plans to illegally fund rightwing social media influencers and subverting US elections to elect Republicans.
The DOJ unsealed two federal indictments accusing Russian state media employees of illegally funding right-wing social media personalities and launching a state controlled operation called "Doppelganger" to undermine US support for Ukraine and elect Republicans. Although partially redacted by the DOJ, a Russian political strategy document's stated goal "to secure victory" for a Republican Presidential candidate in 2024 is by targeting voters in swing states. It was mockingly titled "The Good Old USA Project."
"Candidate" Trump Indicted, Again
A new federal grand jury has indicted Trump with 4 criminal charges that supersede the original conspiracy and obstruction charges filed 13 months previously.
Less than two months ago, the Supreme Court shocked the legal community and ruled that Presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for their "official acts." In response, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith reworked the original 4 count election interference indictments to exclude Trump's abuse of presidential powers to pressure the Justice Department and narrow the focus on the crimes of conspiracy and obstruction committed by "Candidate" Trump.
