DISINFO: The US establishment orchestrated Russiagate and stole the 2020 elections
SUMMARY
Trump aimed to normalise relations with Russia. But the US establishment did not want to normalise relations with a sovereign Russia and for this reason, destroyed the Trump presidency. To do this, the US establishment orchestrated Russiagate, attacked Trump through impeachment attempts and stole the 2020 presidential elections.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative denying Russia's interference in the 2016 US presidential election and claiming that the Russiagate investigation was a conspiracy of the so-called US Deep State to destroy the Trump presidency. The article’s message is also consistent with the recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that the US establishment or “Deep State” stole the 2020 US presidential election.
It is not true that Russiagate was “orchestrated” or invented as a political weapon, as the article suggests. Russiagate refers to the investigations into the Kremlin’s meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections. Russia's interference was reported starting in January 2017 by a US Intelligence Community report and was then reconfirmed in a new report in March 2019, produced by the Special Counsel probe led by Robert Mueller, after two years of investigation.
Both the 2017 intelligence report and the Mueller report, confirmed that Moscow interfered in the US elections and that it had carried out this effort "in sweeping and systematic fashion" and that “the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts”
Moreover, the article’s claim about the theft of the US election aimed at preventing the re-election of outgoing President Donald Trump has been repeatedly debunked.
It has been established that the November 2020 US presidential election took place in full respect of the democratic system, as assessed by the OSCE, the US Supreme Court and a number of investigations and analyses that have led to the 2020 presidential election being considered as “the most secure in US history”.
Read similar cases claiming that the "Deep State" decides who may or may not become president of the US, that Russiagate is a hoax invented by the American Deep State and that Russian Federation did not attempt to influence the US presidential in 2016
