WASHINGTON ― With just three weeks before the Nov. 3 election, one major question remains unanswered: What does Russian dictator Vladimir Putin have up his sleeve to help President Donald Trump?
I dont think they want to miss this opportunity, to poke the United States one more time, said Miles Taylor, once the chief of staff at Trumps Department of Homeland Security and now a fierce Trump critic.
FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress last month that Russia is already interfering in the 2020 election by actively spreading propaganda through social media and friendly news outlets primarily to denigrate (former) Vice President (Joe) Biden, Trumps Democratic challenger.
Whats unclear is if that is the extent of the effort, or if something else is in the works for the campaigns closing days. Four years ago, Russia was releasing emails stolen from Democrat Hillary Clintons campaign on a daily basis through its ally, WikiLeaks, and Trump was citing them at his rallies as proof of his opponents corruption.

(2,273 posts)Putin knows that he has to be very careful, as Biden will be fully apprised of any major interference, and Putin is well aware that Biden can cripple him with increased sanctions, to say nothing of unleashing our superior offensive cyber activities which Donnie has of course held back.

As it concerns sanctions yes, but even without the Senate, Biden could order the launch of a cyber offensive that would be very painful for Putin.
