Had 2 FOIs rejected by the Attorney-General's Dept under the rarely used s26(2) - all docs totally exempt from FOI. The docs relate to interference by the former AG, on two seperate occasions, in the appointment process for NACC Dep Com positions. Have appealed both decisions.

Four frames. 1. Terns on a beach. One says to another, “I feel sick.” 2. A fur seal on a beach beside lots of dead birds thinks, “I feel sick.” 3. A woman reads a series of news headline placards with “BIRD FLU JUMPS SPECIES”, “MORE HEAT WAVES, FIRES”, “NO END OF WARS”; she thinks, “I feel sick”. 4. The world, with fires and explosions everywhere, thinks, “I feel sick.”

Shapiro: When he sits behind the desk in the Oval Office, making $2.2 billion off his corruption for him and his kids, it costs you money. When he sits behind that desk, he’s not thinking about how to put money in your pocket. He’s thinking about how to put money in his own pocket.

Trump's own declassified intelligence documents state that Russia spread false Burisma corruption claims about Joe Biden, advanced those narratives through U.S. officials and other prominent figures, and planned a "high-profile corruption scandal" to influence the 2020 presidential election.
Screenshot specifically supports these claims:

Russia sought to spread claims Biden engaged in criminal activity involving Burisma.
Russian-affiliated actors advanced those narratives "with US officials and other prominent persons."
They planned a "high-profile corruption scandal" implicating Biden "at the peak of the 2020 US presidential campaign."
The stated aim was to defeat Biden and help secure Trump's victory.

Following Putin's footsteps, Trump makes his attempt towards consolidating a dictatorship in the US under the pretext of "election security." Trump rambled for a full 25 minutes. Yet ironically, the released documents show evidence that Russia and China were helping Trump.

As the 2020 election approaches, the IC has detected Chinese state-sponsored cyber actors targeting the former Vice President's presidential campaign, probably to gather intelligence that could enable future operations, the first instance this election cycle that we have seen them directly targeting a US presidential campaign China has also conducted cyber espionage against other US election-related entities, The IC assesses that China does not currently intend to covertly interfere to try to sway the outcome of the election, although this activity could enable such operations, if Beijing made a decision to do so.We assess that Russia is using a range of measures primarily to denigrate former Vice President Biden and what it sees as an anti-Russia establishment. For example, it is directing or encouraging proxies to spread claims about Vice President Biden. Some Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump's candidacy on social media. More broadly, Moscow's efforts seek to amplify social discord in the US and undermine Washington's global standing.
We assess that China prefers that President Trump be defeated; in the past few months it has stepped up public rhetoric criticizing his Administration, which it recognizes may affect the election.
