If Russia accesses negative information about Hunter/Joe Biden by "hacking" a Ukrainian corporation's database, what's the problem? They're helping the U.S. identify high-profile domestic criminals who need to be investigated. Especially so, if the potential criminal wants to represent millions of Americans as a political leader.
I agree!!
Who cares 'how' the information makes its way to the justice department.. If they are corrupt EXPOSE THEM

Are we living McCarthyism all over again?

Indeed, we see the return of McCarthyism and worse. Firstly, the ongoing saga of "Collusion Desulision" aimed at over turning Trump's 2016 election. Secondly, now they seek to impeach Trump on false grounds. I am no fan of supporter. But I recognise the price of Russia Gate and the phoney Trump- Ukraine scandal.
Insufficient attention is paid to Trump's flawed foreign policy. Trump's horrific pardoning of Eddie Gallagher, USN Seal, is constitutional. But Trump has proven presidents don't have to violate their constitutional oath, to act in a morally bankrupt manner.
Perhaps, Eastern Europe is slowly waking up to the entrance of Soviet-style propaganda in cyberspace. Just don't let CNN and MSNBC into anything connected to reality. Their outright fabrications are their weapon against indidvulas connected to the real world.
There is no evidence Russia's "interference" in 2016 U.S. presidential election influenced the outcome. (Note: Putin's disinformation campaign surrounding Ukraine and elsewhere is not free of impact). Putting aside the geopolitical implications and effects of Russian propaganda for a moment. If people are rightly combating fake news and propaganda from domestic sources, where is the situation left? Put another way, what means are left to fight the same threat from Russia and China?

Excluding the congressional version of Parliamentary privilege: Where does slander take over from people's right to free speech? The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to free speech. But the Constitution was designed to prevent government or absolute monarchy tyranny. In no way does this include propaganda and slander against individuals.

There are two different parts of this that is just sad.
One, that the Democratic leadership continue to use the same old tired playbook and have since, well...
The second part is that there is about 26% of America that will believe it.
And they vote.
~sigh~
