The people tasked with keeping the country safe from foreign government hackers and cybercriminal gangs say they feel like they’re under attack, not from their usual adversaries but from the administration they work under.

    Since Trump appears to have no personal stake in this (as opposed to his attacks on the Justice Department, the FBI, the federal court system and so on), I have to assume that this is something he’s doing entirely for Putin’s benefit.

      My fear is that this is continuation of sending 250 people to death camp in El Salvador. Perhaps this is vote an attempt to do the same with an US citizen.

    Whenever something barely makes sense that Trump does, just imagine Putin ordered it.

      I can’t help but feel like Putin is partly a scapegoat. Based off of nothing except my own life experience of knowing people dgaf about human life. My gut says it’s broader than nations.

    This person actively refuted Trump’s bullshit claim that the 2020 election was stolen. He effectively called Trump a liar. In Trump’s mind, that makes him an enemy. That’s the most basic reason that Trump is attacking him.

    The second reason is that he intends to have his DoJ issue bullshit reports of the investigation that support Trump’s old claim that that election could indeed have been stolen. Then Trump will turn around and say that he should have been president instead of Biden and since that election was stolen from him, he should get a third term.
