 up now to object that Khusyaynova and “Project Lakhta,” whose finances she masterminded and directed, did their politicking through fake personas and bogus social media accounts and Trump does his sowing under his own signature. But setting that aside, many of the Russian rants collected in the criminal complaint overlay Trump’s tweets almost perfectly.

For instance, Project Lakhta members at the Facebook group “Secured Borders” gave these Trumpian tips on what to write on social media platforms. “Brand [Sen. John] McCain as an old geezer who has lost it and who long ago belonged in a home for the elderly.” Speaker Paul Ryan was to be branded as “a complete and absolute nobody incapable of any decisiveness.” Special counsel Robert Mueller? “[A] puppet of the establishment.” Sen. Marco Rubio? “[A] fake conservative who is a traitor to Republican values and who in his soul despises the American Constitution and civil liberties.” The leadership in sanctuary cities should be characterized as having “lost all connection with reality” and “trying to provide criminals who illegally crossed the U.S. borders with voting rights that are available only to the citizens of the United States.”

Compare these Russian fakes with genuine expressions from the president’s keyboard. Today he tweeted, “Sadly, it looks like Mexico’s Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy. Must change laws!” On Friday he wrote, “Beto O’Rourke is a total lightweight compared to Ted Cruz, and he comes nowhere near representing the values and desires of the people of the Great State of Texas. He will never be allowed to turn Texas into Venezuela!” Last week, he thumbed this gem of discord and division: “Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!” At a Saturday political rally in Elko, Nevada, Trump claimed that people in California who dislike sanctuary cities are “rioting now. They want to get out of their sanctuary cities.”

To be fair to Khusyaynova and her alleged paymaster, Yevgeny Prigozhin—the sanctioned Russian oligarch who goes by the nickname “Putin’s chef” and was indicted in
up now to object that Khusyaynova and “ Project Lakhta, ” whose finances she masterminded and directed, do their politicking through bogus personas and bogus social media account and Trump perform his sowing under his own signature.
