Russian Interference is REAL

The Justice Department today announced the ongoing seizure of 32 internet domains used in Russian government-directed foreign malign influence campaigns colloquially referred to as “Doppelganger,” in violation of U.S. money laundering and criminal trademark laws.

The companies are allegedly operating under the direction of Sergei Kiriyenko, the first deputy chief of staff to President Vladimir Putin, and other members of the president’s office.

Kiriyenko “directed Russian public relations companies to promote disinformation and state-sponsored narratives” in a campaign to influence November’s election, Garland said.

“An internal planning document created by the Kremlin states that a goal of the campaign is to secure Russia’s preferred outcome in the election,”  Merrick Garland stated.

The Kremlin employs an array of tools, including covert foreign malign influence campaigns and illicit cyber activities, to undermine the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and its allies and partners globally. Russia routinely uses its intelligence services, government-directed proxies, and covert influence tools in these efforts. The Kremlin has increasingly adapted its efforts to hide its involvement by developing a vast ecosystem of Russian proxy websites, fake online personas, and front organizations that give the false appearance of being independent news sources unconnected to the Russian state.

“An internal planning document created by the Kremlin states that a goal of the campaign is to secure Russia’s preferred outcome in the election,” Merrick Garland said.  

“The sites we are seizing today were filled with Russian government propaganda that had been created by the Kremlin to reduce international support for Ukraine, bolster pro-Russian policies and interests, and influence voters in the United States and other countries.”
