HA! Yes "propaganda" that's what western media likes to portray it as, but i'm sure they have no ulterior motives or goals to further by discrediting the truth 😁

A bit misleding:

there is no doubt Russia tried to influence US elections in 2016

the uncertainty is about whether Trump actively cooperated with them - which he didn't have to - and very likely didn't.

The thing is, it’s been known for at least 1½ years that the CIA "Cooked The Intelligence" To Hide That Russia Favored Clinton, Not Trump In 2016.
