Sounds as if the Democrats are colluding with the world’s leading state sponsor of terror.
Threatening messages sent to Democrats blamed on Proud Boys actually came from Iran, FBI says. The foreign disinformation was meant to incite more unrest and damage the candidacy of Donald Trump. https://t.co/PaXxGpgQOb

US officials link Iran to emails targeting Democratic voters
‘These actions are desperate attempts by desperate adversaries,’ DNI Ratcliffe said
By Audrey Conklin | Fox News, October 22, 2020:
Director of National Intelligence & FBI say Iran, Russia have been trying to meddle in the US election
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and the FBI are connecting an Iranian influence campaign to intimidating emails sent to Democratic voters in battleground states.
Ratcliffe said during a Wednesday press conference that both Iran and Russia have attempted to influence U.S. voters ahead of the 2020 presidential election and have obtained some voter information.
“These actions are desperate attempts by desperate adversaries,” Ratcliffe said. He, along with FBI Director Chris Wray, insisted that the U.S. would penalize any foreign countries that interfere in the 2020 U.S. election and that the integrity of the vote is still sound.
“You should be confident that your vote counts,” Wray said. “Early, unverified claims to the contrary should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism.”

The emails sent to Democrats in battleground states such as Florida, Arizona and Pennsylvania appeared to be aimed at intimidating them into voting for President Trump. The emails falsely purported to be from the far-right group Proud Boys and warned that “we will come after you” if the recipients didn’t vote to reelect Trump.

A Google spokesperson told Fox News that it stopped “90% of the approximately 25,000 emails sent” to Gmail users as part of the Iranian campaign. Google also “removed one video file on Drive and one video on YouTube with fewer than 30 views, and terminated the associated Google accounts.”
Google is working with the FBI, law enforcement and others “to identify and remove any related content,” the spokesperson said.
“We’re not surprised Iran is behind the threatening emails,” Cybersecurity research firm Check Point Research told Fox News in a statement. “Intimidation is the name of their game. We’ve studied them closely over the years, and we know they’ve built a very sophisticated arsenal of cyber-espionage capabilities. We urge voters to closely monitor their inbox as election day fast approaches.”

Ratcliffe said the spoofed emails were intended to hurt Trump in the contest against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, though he did not elaborate on how. It’s not the first time that the Trump administration has said Tehran is working against the Republican president.
An intelligence assessment released in August said: “Iran seeks to undermine U.S. democratic institutions, President Trump, and to divide the country in advance of the 2020 elections. Iran’s efforts along these lines probably will focus on online influence, such as spreading disinformation on social media and recirculating anti-U.S. content.”
Iranian officials have denied responsibility for the emails.

Wray it’s over. Don’t you resign….You need to face the music, you rotten scumbag.
Proud Boys is a God fearing, patriotic group that is blind to race that supports President Trump, so
they must be smeared and destroyed while BLM and ANTIFA and others are promoted.
Rush is right – Rational VOTERS want Trump and the corrupt elite and that includes grunts, DEMS, RINOS. and LIBERALS all want Biden!
Mitt Romney announced he did NOT vote for Trump. Does Mitt really believe they will have a place for him at the corruption table? LOL! Idiot! Mitt represents everything the elite, global racists hate.
It is truly shocking, angering and sad how corrupt we have become
“we have become”. UH, NO. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN THAT ‘WE’. That part of America, the criminals and corrupt people, is who the Democrat Party has become. I AM NOT A PART OF THAT AND NEITHER ARE YOU. I know you probably regret saying that, but I will say it for you.
THERE ARE 2 GROUPS OF PEOPLE:
1. DEMOCRAT PARTY: Leftists, DemonRats, liberals, Marxists, Socialist, Communists, and RINOS or DEEP STATE OPERATIVES
2. CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVES: Pro-Constitutional Conservatives and followers of DONALD J. TRUMP, but mostly our REPUBLIC/CONSTITUTION, WHO actually believe in LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
You are either one or the other and THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT AMERICANS NEED TO UNDERSTAND. If you claim to be in the middle, YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF.
But, I agree with everything you said!
Proud boys should change their name to “White Lives Matter”! If it’s good for the goose it’s good for the gander. The left makes me sick!
They are not a racist group. A large number of the members are black, including the leadership.
I understand that! Saying white lives matter or police lives matter or all peoples lives matter is not racist!
…Sadly, for the last 50 years…
The American Spectator has an article about that Mark Bray guy that wrote the Antifa handbook.
Here’s a link, if it will work:

It is very clear to me HOW DUMB IRAN AND THE DEMONRATS REALLY ARE. NO ONE can intimidate Trump supporters. WE KNOW WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE STAND FOR. WE STAND FOR THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND OUR REPUBLIC AND THAT IS WHY WE SUPPORT TRUMP, not the other way around.
THE PROUD BOYS are not bad guys. Dems would like them to be, but they are NOT.
So I guess the FBI isn’t 100% in the tank for the DNC. 95% maybe.
And why has Russia been supporting BIDEN?
All we heard for 2 1/2 years was RussiaRussiaRussia!
And to think the MSM/DNC/everybody else bought into this EXCEPT the American voters.
Make that almost 4 years, many of them are still saying it. They gaslighted thjemselves…
Iran! Hahaha those goat humpers don’t scare anyone.
