to ask. and you ve got to then go through all the intelligence we ve not all had full access to yet. in terms of thursday, what we re going to do, it probably won t be an as explosive as last monday, we re going to bring in experts to demonstrate how russia used these techniques in our past election and how they have used these techniques in places in eastern europe. it s important to remember what we know for a fact that russians massively interfered in our ections. they hacked into both campaigns but selectively leaked on the democrats. they had a thousand paid internet trolls in effect creating what s called botnets taking over computers and overwhelming search engines of some of our most prominent devices. if you ghouled, you would end up with fake news and russian news. the russians are very good at this and we have to be on guard because they re doing it right now in france and germany and quite honestly will too it again
buzzfeed that essentially accuses them of committing crimes against the united states by using their companies to hack computers of the democratic national party, which is an absolute fabrication. because the reputation has been tarnished, they really had no choice. tucker: i want to go right to the text here. this is from the now famous dossier published on buzzfeed. it begins, redacted. over the period of 2016, a company called webzilla and its affiliates had been using botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, and conduct alternate operations against the democratic party leadership. you say that is not true. is it possible that webzilla or its companies was unwittingly used to do those things? no. it is impossible. it is a complete fabrication.
