The Biden administration laid it right out in the open.
When Trump 2016 campaign Chairman Paul Manafort was passing secret polling information about swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to Konstantin Kilimnik, as is laid out in the Mueller Report, it was part of a very specific and successful effort on the part of corrupt foreign oligarchs to help put their fellow corrupt oligarch Trump in office.
This was the data they would have used so troll accounts and ads could target individuals in those states via social media, particularly Facebook, to both suppress the vote for Clinton and encourage voters to show up for Trump and other down-ticket Republicans.
This is not the first time a Republican candidate for president has committed treason to get into the White House. In fact, its been the norm since 1968, and therefore its time to seriously discuss a 60-year problem weve had with treasonous and illegitimate Republican presidents.
America must stop giving criminal Republican presidents a pass. Every GOP president since Dwight Eisenhower used treason or deception to come to office (or inherited office from one who did), and it needs to end. Its a truly astonishing and horrifying story.
It started in 1968, when President Lyndon Johnson was desperately trying to end the Vietnam war. It had turned into both a personal and political nightmare for him, and his vice president, Hubert Humphrey, was running for President in the election that year against a reinvented Richard Nixon.
much, much more at the link -- a good review
