Same Spooks Who Said in 2016 Russia was Hacking for Trump Now Say Iran Hacking Against Him

I’m old enough to remember when the Russians were hacking our elections because they wanted Donald Trump to make peace.

Now the Iranians are hacking our elections because they’re afraid he’ll make war.

It’s weird how… I don’t know what’s weird.

It’s interesting that Trump was a feared peace candidate, and now he’s a promoted war candidate.

New York Post:

The US intelligence community has “observed” Iran trying to influence the 2024 election — and keep former President Donald Trump from a second term in the White House, according to a Monday unclassified briefing.

An official at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told reporters that intelligence agencies have “observed Tehran working to influence the presidential election, probably because Iranian leaders want to avoid an outcome they perceive would increase tensions with the United States.”

The briefing, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, made clear that Trump administration would escalate those tensions since officials “haven’t observed a shift in Iran’s preferences” since before the 2020 election, the official added, when Iran was known to have opposed Trump’s re-election.

Officials had previously described Iran as more of a “chaos agent” in the 2024 race between Trump, 78, and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, 59.

Now, Iran is spreading “disinformation” through “vast webs of online personas and propaganda mills” in addition to clandestine efforts to put a thumb on the scales for Harris.

A lot of people support Trump because his ear was scratched.

They think he’s going to stop wokeness or stop immigration or whatever.

He’ll probably make a big show of doing some symbolic things regarding that when he first gets in, but then you’re going to see the ultimate war president running the most Jewish government in US history.

People are going to be disappointed.

Some people, I suppose, will like it, because they think war is exciting.

The problem is it is very expensive.
