The Justice Department moved on Monday to drop charges against two Russian shell companies accused of financing schemes to interfere in the 2016 election, saying that they were exploiting the case to gain access to delicate information that Russia could weaponize.
The companies, Concord Management and Concord Consulting, were charged in 2018 in an indictment secured by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, along with 13 Russians and another company, the Internet Research Agency. Prosecutors said they operated a sophisticated scheme to use social media to spread disinformation, exploit American social divisions and try to subvert the 2016 election.The U.S. Government is justifying the move by saying that "Concord seized on the case to obtain confidential information from prosecutors, then mount a campaign of information warfare."
The reality is that the U.S. is unable to prove any connection between the shell companies and the Russian government. Russiagate stands revealed as a massive U.S. Government/mainstream media PSYOP with the American voting public its target.
Aaron Mate tweeted that DOJ's decision to drop the case is proof that Russiagate was a massive waste of time. Mate's tweet was countered by another which argued that actually Russiagate was a great success: It turned broken down old Joe Biden into the presumed nominee of the Democratic Party.
I think that's the way to interpret this decision by the DOJ. Mission accomplished. Bernie Sanders blocked and confined to congress as the junior senator from Vermont. Embarrassing headlines about the flimsy foundations of Russiagate 2016 averted. Russiagate 2020 already deployed and Sanders neutralized. Next stop? The general election.
