BBC: Iran hacked Trump campaign — (according to the same people that told us in 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop story was “Russian disinfo”)

**Submission Statement**

Confident that the public has a short, disjointed collective memory (and is gullible has hell), the FBI and other federal agencies issued a joint statement saying that Iran hacked the internal messages of Donald Trump’s campaign. They added that *they suspect* that Iranians may have also targeted the campaign of Kamala Harris. (me too!)

According to the joint Intel Agency statement, *”Such activity, including thefts and disclosures, are intended to influence the US election process.”*

If that sounds familiar, it is: Back in 2020, when the story of Hunter Biden’s notorious laptop broke, security experts claimed that the Kremlin was playing dirty tricks: *“this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.”*

Russia then, Iran now… but we totally believe them!
