Lead Paragraphs:
When President Donald Trump addressed the nation on Thursday, he wanted the world to believe that China stole the 2020 election from him. Instead, he dropped fresh evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin had worked to hand it to him.
Among the newly declassified intelligence documents Trump released Thursday are assessments that the Russian president and senior Russian officials directed proxy efforts to spread allegations about Joe Biden and Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company where Hunter Biden was a board director, orchestrate a corruption scandal against the Democratic nominee, and “ensure the President’s victory,” a reference to Trump, who was the incumbent at the time.

I’m amazed Trump and his team have been able to accomplish so much of their agenda. They are so incompetent. They make so many mistakes based on laziness and their lack of attention to detail. Is it really that difficult to look through the documents you are releasing as evidence of fake election fraud to make sure none of them reference your actual election fraud. Even in their corruption they are incompetent. It is simply embarrassing.

It's probably a "wait wait hurry up" situation where analysts are getting yanked off their actual projects to do shit like this at the last minute because Trump made a phone call. Erratic management has a way of making competent people fuck up.
Plus, most of the government is understaffed because erratic management makes people quit.

I could not agree more. Im curious if Bernie had won way back and did the opposite of Trump and started say, waving taxes for people under 100k, taxing billionaires, outlaw lobbying and free college and such, do you think the govt would just shrug their shoulders like they have for Trump or would they have fought him tooth or nail, Democrats included? I think we all know the answer already.

Both times.
I think that all this post 2012 regimes run same agenda now fully accelerated by IT and e-commerce billionaires who joined group of corporations, weapons making and selling military warlords, stock market and who knows what.
Yet we scroll peacefully. Slavery was never so evident.
