Democrats and former intel officials are skeptical of the DOJ's decision to drop its prosecution of 2 Russian firms accused of meddling in the 2016 election.
The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee expressed frustration over the Justice Department's move, while some former intelligence officials and legal experts are voicing skepticism.
"I don't buy it," tweeted Marc Polymeropoulos, a former CIA officer who worked on the assessment of Russian election interference that was partially released to the public."DOJ does this all the time with CIA info. There's a process for this. Something smells..." “At the same time, the President’s Twitter-gloating over the dismissal and Attorney General Barr’s sublimation of the Department to Trump’s narrow political interests raises the usual questions of what is really motivating this change of course.”
Dubelier, the lawyer for the Russian defendants, said,"No matter what the government says in its court filing, the fact is they lost and we won. This case was nothing more than a political statement from the beginning." "The prosecution lacked evidence to prove that the defendants knew what they were doing violated complex U.S. election laws," he said. The ads were purchased using a Russian name, a Russian Internet address, and paid for in rubles.
