The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced criminal charges against two Russian nationals, sweeping sanctions, and the seizure of dozens of web domains with the intent to, as CNN reports, “tackle Russian efforts to influence (the) 2024 election.”
The announcement was first published as an exclusive report from the pro-DNC outlet.
To paraphrase Barack Obama – the 2016 election called, it wants its fake Russia meddling hoax back.
The DOJ announced these actions 62 days out from the presidential election, a number which should not go unnoticed since the department has a longstanding policy to avoid announcing any investigative steps within 60 days of an election.
The first question that arises is: How bad are Kamala Harris’s internal polling numbers that they have to dust off the Russia boogeyman to try and sway an election?
Attorney General Merrick Garland accused various Russian public relations companies of attempting “to promote disinformation and state-sponsored narratives as part of a campaign to influence the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.”
Details on what constitutes disinformation are scant in the press release. Exhibits posted by the Department do reveal some of what they are alluding to, however.
For instance, they cite something called the ‘Good Old USA Project’ as trying to promote such narratives as the United States “has been doing way too much to support Ukraine.”
Which, by any measure, is objectively true.
Another objective highlighted in the exhibits notes that financial support for Ukraine comes as Americans are “suffering from rising prices, primarily for gasoline, historically high inflation, and the actual impoverishment of … a significant part of the middle class”.

First, appoint a competent, constitution-toting Attorney General, with DEI consideration not being one of the criteria. Then clean house from the top down.
