Garrett Graff: "Russia Sought Division More Than Victory"

Garrett Graff, host of the Long Shadow podcast, argues that Russia's 2016 interference was about sowing distrust in U.S. democracy—weakening Clinton if she won, or destabilizing the system either way. He revisits the Access Hollywood–email leak overlap, the forgotten U.S. warning about Russian meddling, and how other nations have since borrowed the playbook. Also: JD Vance's opportunistic definition of "the far left," an Oval Office push for troops in Memphis, and a Booker–Kash Patel shouting match.
