Heidi Przybyla: GOPers Are ‘Using Russian Disinformation Techniques’

‘This is actively co-opting the tactics of Russian disinformation which is selective, distorted leaks in terms of this memo’

EXCERPT:

PRZYBYLA: “I’ve actually spoken with some Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee who are livid about this and they say, 'You know what? This is even worse than just allowing the Russian bots to have their way. This is actively co-opting the tactics of Russian disinformation which is selective, distorted leaks in terms of this memo, in terms of the text messages from Peter Strzok and his paramour being selectively leaked.' They’re actually using Russian disinformation techniques. And to the point of irony, what was Hillary Clinton’s downfall in the 2016 campaign? It was the accusation that she mishandled classified information. And here you have an entire committee on a partisan vote, against the urging of their own top law enforcement officials, voting to steamroll those officials and all of the other Democrats on the committee, and to disallow any kind of dissenting information, any kind of context.”
