    Those would be the guys that claimed that the FBI was hiding the evidence of Epstein's murder until they came into office and now claim that he did indeed commit suicide?

    Would love to see Patel and Bongino release substantive documentary evidence to back up their claim. Maybe the Democrats and the liberal media should refer to their claim as the Chinese hoax or China, China, China.

    On the other hand maybe there was Chinese interference in the 2020 election:
    Election 2024: China’s Efforts to Interfere in the U.S. Presidential Election
    Now China looks to be following suit. In February, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a threat assessment stating: “Beijing is expanding its global covert influence posture to better support the CCP’s goals. The PRC aims to sow doubts about U.S. leadership, undermine democracy, and extend Beijing’s influence.” This week the New York Times reported that “covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions and attacking President Biden ahead of the election in November.” This campaign, known as “spamouflage,” has prompted Meta to take down thousands of fake Facebook accounts operating in China.

    It seems neither RiverGator nor the two people you quote in the OP have presented evidence to back up their claims.

    However, unlike the other two, RiverGator doesn't have a history of spreading conspiracy theories and lying.

    This has been posted recently in another thread, but yes that is what happened.

    In close elections in the swing states, it doesn't take much to put your thumb on the scale when cheating.

    Waiting to see the FBI documents and according to your own linked article(s) the documents allegedly in the possession of the FBI described a plan to meddle in the election using fake mail-in ballots that China was considering not that the PRC even tried to do so.

    I'm obviously not clicking on that link, but even if we give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that it is 100% true, then based on it's title; China had a plan to potentially meddle in the election?

    So they didn't do so, then? Just had a plan?

    I'm trying to understand the point of this thread. As far as I can tell, it's a Trumpy brag thread, a way to say : "Haha, Democrats only had China plan to help them in an election, but Trump was able to get Russia to actually do so!! Twice!!"

    After the landslide win by Biden , the intelligence community did look into some questions.
    • "The Intelligence Community Assessment from March 2021 stated with high confidence that China did not try to sway the 2020 election outcome.
    • The FBI initially questioned the credibility of the source who reported the alleged plot, describing them as "relatively new," and recalled the intelligence.
    • US Customs and Border Protection seized nearly 20,000 counterfeit US driver's licenses at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in the months leading up to the report, with most arriving from China and Hong Kong. Some news outlets have highlighted this as possible corroboration of the FBI report. " Perhaps the 8 million vote landslide was proof enough that there was nothing there.
