View submission: Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit
The various Russian operations give partial information, mischaracterize events, and hide knowledge that would change the overall message. The best example was the DNC server hack in 2016. The Russians released the captured emails through Guicifer 2.0 and WikiLeaks. But the Russians also successfully hacked the RNC. They have not leaked/released those emails yet.
So we only got part of the info, and even then the DNC emails have been mischaracterized. There was nothing wrong or incriminating in those emails otherwise someone would have been charged with a crime. But we don't know what info the RNC emails had and since 2016 we've seen the GOP work ever closer with Russia and Putin.
In my opinion, those RNC emails provided the basis of blackmail and is a huge reason why the GOP doesn't turn against Trump or Putin. But we don't know and that's how the Russian information operations work.
There's nothing here!
