Private citizen Joe Biden and the Democratic Party were absolutely right way back when they kept demanding an investigation of what we’d just learned: Russia had interfered big-time in America’s 2016 elections — running video ads and doing lots more that helped Donald Trump win the presidency.
Then Biden and his fellow Democrats were absolutely right, yet again, in voicing outrage when special counsel Robert Mueller’s March 2019 report following an in-depth investigation didn’t produce a national determination to safeguard our democracy from those who seek to manipulate our voters, overturn our elections and destroy our democracy.
Mueller’s report had given us a detailed warning: Russia had successfully used social media “to undermine the U.S. electoral system … through what it termed ‘information warfare.’ … The (Russian) operation also included the purchase of political advertisements on social media … that by early 2016 favored candidate Trump and disparaged candidate (Hillary) Clinton.”
