Robert Mueller WARNS US STILL Unprepared For Russian Election Interference
US STILL Unprepared For Russian Election Interference Robert Mueller Says
Former special counsel issues warning in preface to book about 2016 investigation and Trump-Moscow links
The Guardian 24 SEP 2024
The US is still not prepared for inevitable Russian attacks on its elections, the former special counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated Russian interference in 2016 and links between Donald Trump and Moscow warns
Mueller continues: As we detailed in our report, the evidence was clear that the Russian government engaged in multiple, systematic attacks designed to undermine our democracy and favor one candidate over the other.
It is evident that Americans have not learned the lessons of Russias attack on our democracy in 2016, Mueller writes in a preface to Interference: The Inside Story of Trump, Russia and the Mueller Investigation by Aaron Zebley, James Quarles and Andrew Goldstein, prosecutors who worked for Mueller from 2017 to 2019.
That candidate was Trump, the Republican who beat the Democrat, Hillary Clinton, for the White House.
We were not prepared then, Mueller writes, and, despite many efforts of dedicated people across the government, we are not prepared now. This threat deserves the attention of every American. Russia attacked us before and will do so again.
Zebley, Quarles and Goldstein tell the story of the Mueller investigation, from its beginnings in May 2017 after Trump fired the FBI director, James Comey, to its conclusion in March 2019 with moves by William Barr, Trumps second attorney general, to obscure and dismiss Muellers findings.
