"The problem with elected elections officials is not just an appearance of possible bias, it is also that “bad actors” have ample opportunity to pull off partisan shenanigans, said Frances R. Hill, an elections expert at the University of Miami School of Law."

Shenanigans.

Advertising is blocking this article.

Trump is living in a bubble of fantasy.

Bush one and two spoiled any chance to deal with Osama Bin Laden sooner.

"“The president’s remarks were wrong on every level,” Nicholas J. Rasmussen, a top counterterrorism official in the George W. Bush, Obama and Trump administrations, said in an email on Monday. “Wrong about Bill and his politics. Wrong about the Bin Laden raid. And most troubling, wrong about what it takes for a commander in chief to enjoy the genuine respect of the women and men he should be honored to lead.”"

Trump cannot afford to lose the support of Faux News.

Salesmen are professional distributors of information and disinformation.
Phishing is sales technique.
A.I. systems do not go phishing without orders from human operators.

Consider what is bought in the transaction.

The matter will be revisited.
