"Trump's Oversight Opposition": Why in the USA they closed the case of hacking the servers of the Democratic Party

US President Donald Trump called the "big event" the closure of the case of hacking the servers of the Democratic Party. According to him, the fact that the decision was made by a judge appointed by the 42nd President Bill Clinton, who represented the Democratic Party, was especially important.

"The judge called the lawsuit of the National Committee of the Democratic Party" cut off from the facts, "wrote the leader of the United States on his Twitter page, adding that" the witch hunt is over. "

Wow! It was completely dismissed a lawsuit for the President of the United States. The case of the DNC

On the eve of the Federal District Court of the Southern District of New York closed the case in which the US Democratic Party accused Russia, in particular the General Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, and Trump's electoral headquarters for hacking its servers.

According to the court’s decision, the arguments of the parties “either have no legal weight or have no value.”

Recall the trial began in April 2018, when the Democratic Party sued Moscow, Trump's campaign headquarters and WikiLeaks, accusing them of influencing the 2016 US presidential election.

The American court made an objective decision, since the Democrats did not provide any evidence and only put forward unfounded accusations, said Andrei Sidorov, head of the department of international organizations and world political processes at the Faculty of World Politics at Moscow State University.

“Closing the case is another mistake of the representatives of the Democratic Party, who are trying to link the activities of Trump with the“ Russian intervention ”. This also includes failures in the investigation of Robert Muller. The current situation also indicates that the Democrats' anti-Russian core has begun to fall apart, and plans to collapse, ”the expert said in an interview with RT.

According to Sidorov, when Clinton appointed a judge for the Southern District of New York, he expected that he would be a supporter of the Democrats.

“However, regardless of political preferences, a judge can pull on a case only if he has convincing arguments. And without evidence, it is impossible to convict at all, ”the analyst explained.

According to the American political scientist Michael Sinelnikov-Orishak, Trump tries to convince the American public that the case has been closed and all its consequences have been eliminated.

"However, the reality is that the opponents of the White House will continue to attack the American president," the expert predicted in a conversation with RT.

At the same time, Sinelnikov-Orishak added that the accusations of the democrats against Russia in the “interference” with the elections do not have any weighty grounds.

“Because hacking is a footprint in the sand that cannot be saved and fixed. And you can blame as many people as you like, which is happening now, ”the analyst emphasized.

“Stereotype about outgoing danger”

Recall, Russia has repeatedly denied "interference" in the electoral processes taking place in other countries.

In December 2018, Moscow suggested that Washington publish the content of correspondence between countries regarding the hacking of the Democratic Party’s servers, but the United States refused. This was announced by the deputy director of the National Computer Incident Coordination Center Nikolai Murashov, noting that the contents of this correspondence cannot be made public without the consent of the second party. According to him, the White House explained the refusal by “the need to respect the confidentiality of information exchange.”

As Mikhail Sinelnikov-Orishak notes, it was unprofitable for democrats to assist Moscow in investigating the case of the “hacking” of their servers. According to the expert, this “story should have been shown only from the American side,” and any clarifications, especially from Russia, in this case were dismissed as unnecessary.

“This is a typical American story when the Democratic Party invented and promoted a chilling horror film. From the point of view of representatives of this political force, they have turned out to be a quality blockbuster, the broadcast of which is now very pitiful to stop because of any additions. A sequel is being created. As planned by the Democrats, the continuation should affect the minds of Americans by 2020 and convince them that Trump does not respect American laws, interferes in investigations, crushes and dismisses, ”said the expert.

According to Sinelnikov-Orishak, Russia has become the main theme for attacks on Trump by the Democrats, because in the minds of Americans for a long time there was a “stereotype about the outgoing danger and threat” from Moscow.

“Russia is the only country that is comparable in strength with the United States: it was on the basis of this that Washington turned it into the number one enemy,” the analyst explained.

This opinion is shared by Andrei Sidorov.

“The United States media have already created the ground for public perception of Russia as the main adversary,” the expert said.

According to him, the independent political course of Russia in the international arena causes a part of the American establishment "not just irritation, but hysteria."

Prohibited Tricks

Despite the failure to hack servers, on Wednesday, August 30, Democrat Eliot Engel, a member of the US House of Representatives, called on congressmen to initiate another investigation to declare impeachment to Trump. According to him, the American president "abused his powers," trying to impede the investigation of the "links" of his election campaign with Russia. The politician also referred to the testimony of Robert Muller, who allegedly provided relevant evidence.

Shortly before the Democratic Party’s legal committee member, Dianne Feinstein called on the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation to assess the country's readiness to oppose Moscow’s possible interference in the 2020 presidential election. In her opinion, first of all, Russia is trying to “steal secrets and undermine democracy” in the United States.

“We know that Russia does not abandon its efforts, and that other foreign forces are not hesitant to take advantage of opportunities to interfere in our elections and democratic processes,” said Feinstein, published on her official website.

The politician also referred to the words of the FBI director Christopher Ray, who said about the "adaptation and activation" of Russia. According to him, the “interference” of Moscow in the elections of 2018 in the Congress was only a “dress rehearsal of the grandiose show scheduled for 2020”.

In addition, the Democrats intend to promote their "anti-ramp" campaign through television advertising. For example, the video, calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, will be based on the testimony of the former special prosecutor Robert Muller. It is reported by the international news agency Reuters.

“After a few days after Robert Müller’s speeches in front of two congressional committees regarding his investigation into the Trump case and Russia, a TV spot called CNN and MSNBC will be broadcast“ What Muller said ”created with the support of the Need to Impeach group " - RT ), founded by the billionaire and Democratic presidential candidate Tom Stayer," - said in a statement.

As Sinelnikov-Orishak notes, the Democrats' regular appeal to impeach Trump is "insane and not serious," since this procedure is extremely cumbersome and complicated.

“Democrats can call for this kind of measure only in order to further shake the media field in the right way for them, to maintain a negative background in the media about Trump. However, not a single American president has resigned as a result of his removal from office - the current head of the White House will stay in his post until 2020, ”the analyst predicted.

According to Sinelnikov-Orishak, the theme of “Russian intervention” will not leave the Democratic agenda, but will only change, and the main events in this field will unfold at the beginning of next year.

“Perhaps, an attempt will be made to resume the case of“ Russian intervention, ”but already through the Supreme Court. In addition, a new story unfolds - Trump will be even more actively accused of obstructing American justice. In addition, the Democrats will constantly focus on the fact that Russia is trying to intervene in the presidential election of 2020, ”said the expert.

According to Andrei Sidorov, Eliot Engel, who launched the initiative to impeach the US president, is “very hard on” against Trump.

"This is a man who, with enviable persistence, has been petitioning to the US House of Representatives since March 2017 about the need to declare an impeachment to the head of the White House," explained the analyst.

At the same time, Sidorov believes that the Democrats will continue to try to discredit the President of the United States, including under the theme of "Russian intervention."

"Here, representatives of the Democratic Party will continue to use the techniques" below the belt "and all sorts of means of pressure," said the expert.

Meanwhile, the "obvious failures of the democrats in the anti-Russian course" will enable Trump to talk about the failure of future accusations against him, Sidorov said.

“In this sense, Trump will become more free, this will strengthen his position before the presidential election of 2020, will give him certain advantages in the election race. The head of the White House will say that he was unable to fulfill a number of promises to the electorate, since the Democrats prevented him, ”the analyst concluded.
