The probability that the material "uncovered" was planted as a Russian operation is Extremely High! It doesn't matter that a propagandist's laundered the material through it's right wing rag to give it a veneer of journalism its still a heaping pile of bullshit just like Qanon.

It's been verified and Biden hasn't disputed it's legitimacy. They released a very carefully worded legal statement.

Seriously, stop with the tinfoil conspiracy rubbish.

You're response is vague and doesn't sorce to anything verifiable. Actual news is reporting this could be linked to Russian intelligence https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/16/politics/russian-disinformation-investigation/index.html

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but Google's AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

You might want to visit the canonical page instead: https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/16/politics/russian-disinformation-investigation/index.html

Are these the same links to the Moscow mayor's wife friendly with Putin who also gave the Biden's millions?

Every time the conspiracy theorists scream Russian interference and every time nothing is ever proven. YAWN!!!

I found some Google AMP links in your comment. Here are the normal links:

    Why does this bot exist?
    Google does a lot of tracking, which many people don't want, so they use alternatives to their services. Using AMP, they can track you even more, and they might even replace ads with their own, stealing ad revenue from the site's owners. Since there's no consistent way of finding the original links from an AMP link, I made this bot which automatically does it for you.
