When
Special Investigator Mueller warned about Russian mid-term election
interference he crossed a line he should have remained behind. If he
has solid information he should have gone to Homeland Security rather
than the broadcast media. He sounds like a Democrat from the 2016
contest and that was the problem with recently chastised former
F.B.I. head James Comey when he let Hillary Clinton's e-mail security
bungling off without a charge or valid special investigation.
There
is little to no chance that any Russian government agent or anyone
else will be able to stuff the ballot box electronically. The
security supposedly is good enough. Since Mayor Daley of Chicago
threw the 1960 Presidential election to John F. Kennedy election
officials have been more eagle eyed and aware about keeping
box-integrity.
Russians
may be able to propagandize via adds and fake news along with the
unlimited contributions of the rich to political action committees
that are hardly neutral, Russians can compete with the mind-numbing
blather of commercial television network programming and the
Hollywood celebrity horseshi_ that attacks American though annually.
I think it is hardy a valid concern of a rational government to
attempt to socialize control of free expression while seeking
unlimited material trade globally. Intellectual properties and free
expression are actually more important to national and citizen
liberty than commodity transfers.
Is
anything from the media really supposed to be credible and unbiased? Can Russians command even 1% of the national election palaver and propaganda?
