Oh, we definitely put them on blast. We even spoke with their executives to tell them it was bullshit they didn’t take the speech. CNN is the enemy of the people.

What the CIA knew was happening for years in Venezuela with rigged voting machines is precisely what happened here in 2020. Preprogrammed results, virtual machines that fabricate votes. Then they said it was the most secure election in history. It was stolen. The deep state didn’t just know it, they helped steal it.
The newly declassified documents give new context to this Trump tweet from December 2020 about the SolarWinds hack.
Trump criticized the media for immediately blaming Russia while ignoring (for financial reasons) the possibility that China was responsible—a scenario reflected in the newly declassified documents.
He also connected the SolarWinds hack to the 2020 election.
Trump knew about both China’s role in the election and the internal battles within the intelligence community.
@brianstelter The people, like you and your outlet, that spent years maliciously pushing the lie that Trump stole the 2016 election by colluding with Russia are upset about the release of ACTUAL news and information regarding election administration? Curious.
“[Perp walks are] possible. I think you'll see terminations first.”
White House advisor @jsolomonReports predicts major consequences for the members of the Intelligence Community who hid information about Chinese election interference from President Trump:
“They basically are talking about deliberately "massaging" President Trump's database so he won't see the Chinese election interference stuff… Another FBI person, who kept pulling back China intelligence interference reports and not letting the community see them so they could be investigated, wrote in her own text messages to her colleague, ‘I'm running a SHADOW GOVERNMENT to keep the President and others from learning about this.’
Other people were writing, ‘This is clearly politics. We should be telling the President.’ An NSA guy said, ‘I'm alarmed that we're not telling the President, but I was too weak to stand up and object in the meeting.’
This was one of the widest secrets in the intelligence community, that some intelligence analysts used their power to keep the President in the dark about a 220 million voter data breach.”
