What does it matter if Russia is amplifying the message?

I'm not speaking in regards to the allegation, but it definitely matters if messages are amplified. It's Russia's playbook.

Fiona Hill (one of the most incredible people to testify in the impeachment inquiry) put it beautifully in an interview this week in regards to Russia's efforts:

Putin, sadly, has got all of our political class, every single one of us, including the media, exactly where he wants us

“He’s got us feeling vulnerable, he’s got us feeling on edge, and he’s got us questioning the legitimacy of our own systems,” she said. “The Russians did not invent partisan divides, the Russians didn’t invent racism in the United States, but the Russians understand a lot of those divisions, and they understand how to exploit them.”

Russia/GOP didn't invent Biden's "gaffes." They didn't invent the DNC. The didn't invent problems with the media or the establishment. But they throw gasoline on the fire EVERY chance they get.
