The U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray shared details last week of accusations of Russian election interference efforts in this year's election.

Garland stated that the American people have the right to know when the FBI finds evidence of possible election interference by a foreign power.
Garland hinted that the interference was intended to benefit Donald Trump without ever mentioning his name or the Republican party.
Consider some of the narratives that the DOJ said were examples of foreign influence and disinformation.
"Concerns about the cost of living."
"Losing the American way of life."
"Threat of crime from people of color and immigrants."
"Overspending on foreign policy."
"Risk of job loss by white Americans."
These may be examples of foreign influence but is this disinformation?
For example, consider the breakdown of net jobs over the last 12 months in the Bureau of Labor Statistics report for August released last week.
Of course, this comes shortly after it was reported that the BLS had to revise the number of jobs added to the economy that had been previously reported by over 800,000 jobs over the last year.
It seems that in almost every month over the last year the BLS was overestimating job growth in the economy. Yes, the BLS numbers are estimates. However, what are the chances that the numbers so happen to always go one way?
Coincidence or election interference in support of the Bidenomics narrative that all was great?
I thought the timing of the DOJ announcement on Russian election interference was also interesting coming just one week before the Trump/Harris debate.
What do you think the odds are the Kamala Harris will bring this up in the debate tomorrow night and attempt to feed another Russian collusion hoax narrative?
I also thought it was interesting that Garland and Wray are so concerned with foreign election interference but the DOJ and FBI did nothing about the blatant election interference in the 2020 election.
Do you remember a similar story that came out a week before the Biden/Trump debate in 2020?
This was shortly after it was revealed that Hunter Biden's laptop contained a treasure trove of damaging info about Hunter and Joe.
51 former U.S. intelligence "experts" quickly came out a few days before the debate and stated that the laptop story had all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation and election interference scheme.
It was later revealed that the entire narrative was created to provide Joe Biden a defense to the laptop story at the debate.
Even worse, the FBI had been in possession of the laptop for over nine months and knew Russia had nothing to do with the laptop. It was Hunter's. The FBI did nothing to correct the record when it could have easily done so in the name of JUSTICE.
A poll taken after it was revealed that the laptop story was authentic found that 79% of Americans believed that the laptop coverup changed the election.

A whopping 79 percent of Americans suggest President Donald Trump likely would have won reelection if voters had known the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop—that it was real and not “Russian disinformation,” as intelligence officials aligned with Joe Biden falsely led the public to believe, a new national poll reveals.
In fact, 47 percent said that knowing before the election that the laptop contents were real and not “disinformation” would have changed their voting decision—including more than two-thirds (71 percent) of Democrats.Almost 8 of 10 respondents said that a truthful interpretation of the laptop would have likely changed the election’s outcome more in favor of Trump.
The DOJ ultimately used the contents on that laptop to help convict Hunter of a federal gun charge earlier this year and to get Hunter to plead guilty to federal tax charges last week.
It has also been disclosed that the FBI was behind the effort to have social media and mainstream media companies censor the Hunter Biden laptop story in the final days of the 2020 election.
There is little doubt we need to be concerned about any attempts at foreign election interference.
However, isn't domestic election interference of the kind we witnessed by the FBI and those 51 former U.S. intelligence "experts" far more sinister and alarming?
What happened to the investigation and prosecution of what went on in the domestic election interference of 2020?
Let's look a little closer look at that guilty plea that Hunter Biden pled to last week.
Of course, it should also be remembered that the DOJ initially did everything they could to let Hunter Biden walk on all charges related to both his gun and tax charges.
It was only when a Delaware judge questioned the details behind a friendly plea deal for Hunter with the DOJ that all was exposed.
Joe Biden previously has said that his son Hunter was "the smartest man that I know."
Biden also told us that Hunter "never did anything wrong" when asked about his son's activities.
Hunter pleaded guilty yesterday to tax evasion and fraud charges a day before he was to be tried on those charges in a federal court in California.
This comes after Hunter was also found guilty of a federal gun charge in a jury trial in June.
The speculation is this is a prelude to Joe Biden either providing his son with a pardon or commuting Hunter's sentences before he leaves office.
Sentencing is scheduled for November 13 on the gun conviction and December 9.on the tax guilty plea.
After the guilty verdict in June on the gun charges Biden said he would not pardon Hunter or reduce his sentence.

Anyone want to bet on Joe standing by that statement?
The timing of the sentencing in the two cases is interesting coming after the election in both cases.
If Kamala wins, Joe will probably stand by his statement but a deal will have been made so that she has to do the dirty work when she takes office
If Trump wins, Joe will forget he ever made the statement. He is not going to allow the smartest man he knows to be put in a prison cell.
It goes without saying that it has been a very bad ending for both Joe and Hunter over the last several months.
However, as bad as it is, I have the feeling we don't even know the half of it when it comes to both of them.
Election interference has serious consequences. We have lived with the consequences over the last four years.
I would feel better if I was fully confident that the FBI and the DOJ were not involved in it.
I once thought it was impossible to believe this.
Sadly, that is no longer the case.
Scott, a great perspective on the Bidens. Just would like to touch on the revised BLS report. The WSJ reported on 21 August the following: "Wednesday’s report doesn’t necessarily mean that job gains in the months after March will be revised downward. The payroll growth suggested by the preliminary estimate could also be revised upward when the actual adjustment is made in February. That has been the case in each of the past four years, Goldman Sachs analysts wrote in a recent report. Analysts at Barclays wrote Wednesday that they expect the eventual revision to be about half the size of the initial estimate. Some analysts have also noted that revised payroll figures could be misleading because they might not take into account a recent surge in immigration that has powered the job market. Unauthorized immigrant workers are likely to be included when the government surveys businesses to ask them about their employees. But they don’t qualify for unemployment insurance, so they may not show up in the jobs data based on state unemployment-tax records." However, the more interesting back-story to the BLS data is the "snafu" that occured when the data was released. The BLS was supposed to deliver the data via a scheduled news release, which never came. Rather, someone elected to update the data on BLS website, without a news release and without a schedule. Not receiving the press release, Mizuho Financial and BNP Paribas called the BLS and were subsequently sent the data, before it was released generally. Investors whose buy-and-sell decisions are based on BLS, and other economic data sources, may have been unfairly disadvantaged by the data's delay. It reminds me of the notorious Crop Report in the movie Trading Places.
