The Mueller report demonstrates the depth of Russian efforts, which are still paying off as President Trump and Bernie Sanders play off grudges.
By Greg Jaffe and Greg Jaffe National security reporter Email Bio Follow Craig Timberg Craig Timberg National reporter covering technology Email Bio Follow April 19 at 3:03 PM The report from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III lays out in stark detail Russian efforts to foment anger in the U.S. electorate and influence the 2016 election. But it also makes clear the extent to which that 2016 Russian campaign has indelibly formed the landscape for the 2020 race.
The bad blood between Sanders and CAP traces back to Russia’s 2016 hack of emails from the Democratic Party and Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta. Sanders was upset that CAP “fought” him on a $15 minimum wage and other policies, said Faiz Shakir, Sanders’s campaign manager. His evidence: A hacked email from CAP President Neera Tanden disparaging the idea.
Now, some 30 months after the 2016 election, the U.S. government and its biggest tech companies are better positioned to identify Russian interference. The FBI has a foreign influence task force and many technology companies have disinformation units aimed at thwarting foreign influence.
By almost every measure, the partisan discord that marked 2016 has only grown worse, between the political parties and inside them. Another factor likely to influence the 2020 campaign: The Russians have become more adept at using social media to manipulate public opinion. After an online poll, the Russian troll account dubbed the woman “Taco Truck Tammy,” a moniker picked up by newspaper and television stations. Earlier this week Twitter shut down the account @Dany_xoo after Linvill called it to the company’s attention.
