.. Breitbart is among darlings of Russian propaganda ..

[charley]

Amid an investigation into Russian meddling in the last U.S. presidential election, a Russian propaganda Twitter network aimed at American audiences consistently spreads links to Breitbart and other right-wing or conspiracy theory websites that boost President Trump and bash Democrats.

The websites which include True Pundit, the Gateway Pundit and Imperialist U are regular features on the list of Top Domains pushed by a network of 600 Twitter accounts followed by the German Marshall Fund of the United States, which tracks a Russian disinformation and propaganda campaign focused on U.S. voters.

On Thursday, the most popular domains mentioned by the network in the previous 48 hours, according to the tracker, included True Pundit, the Russian government-controlled television network RT, the Gateway Pundit, Fox News, Russian government news agency Sputnik News and Breitbart.

The network's main role is to amplify messages deemed to benefit the Kremlin, but that doesn't mean the websites' authors share the same goals, said Laura Rosenberger, director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, which created the monitoring project for the fund.

Just being shared by Kremlin information operations does not mean they are part of the Kremlin's disinformation operations, Rosenberger said. It just means something on these sites, or a lot of things on these sites, is either advancing a message the Kremlin is trying to push or that it is trying to discredit.

The Gateway Pundit's founder Jim Hoft called the project a far-left smear site of the Marshall Fund, a nonprofit group that promotes transatlantic cooperation.

Hoft did not deny that the Russians amplify his message, but asserted that the Russian government-controlled television network RT tends to cover more anti-American far-left stories and personalities than those about conservative Trump supporters.

Why is President Trump afraid? That is the unanswered question as the multiple probes into Trump and his campaign associates slogs on.
Trump is apparently obsessed with the Russian investigation, mocking it and calling it a witch hunt.

But if there was no collusion between Trump campaign officials and Russia during the election, then why is he so worried?

If there's nothing to uncover, then why not keep quiet and let the investigation run its course?

Why respond like a man who has something to hide?

There is an irony in this. Trump ran his campaign by stoking voters fears fear of Mexican immigrants he called bad hombres and rapists; fear of Muslims; fear of foreign trade and globalism; and the fear of economic insecurity.

First, Trump may have business entanglements in Russia or with Russian interests that would look compromising if uncovered and made public. Since he hasn't released his tax returns, we don't know about his financial dealings in Russia. There is speculation that he may have borrowed large sums of money from Russian banks or Russian interests to finance some of his real estate deals. If Trump does have business interests that involves Russian money and he seeks to hide it, that could bring down his presidency.
The second area of potential trouble for Trump is his reaction to these investigations. His firing of Comey was knee-jerk and makes him look like he's trying to hide something. His efforts to derail these probes could become his undoing. It's often the cover-up, not the action itself, that brings down politicians. (ie, Nixon.)
Whatever the case, Trump is apparently very afraid of these probes. The Russia investigation has hit a sensitive nerve for the president, based on his angry tweets and public comments.

.... OK Rob, why is trump so scared ???
