"In early July the Department of Homeland Security withheld publication of an intelligence bulletin warning law enforcement agencies of a Russian scheme to promote “allegations about the poor mental health” of former Vice President Joe Biden, according to internal emails and a draft of the document obtained by ABC News."
"The draft bulletin, titled “Russia Likely to Denigrate Health of US Candidates to Influence 2020 Election,” was submitted to the agency’s legislative and public affairs office for review on July 7. The analysis was not meant for public consumption, but it was set to be distributed to federal, state and local law enforcement partners two days later, on July 9, the emails show."
"Just one hour after its submission, however, a senior DHS official intervened."
“Please hold on sending this one out until you have a chance to speak to [acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf]," wrote DHS Chief of Staff John Gountanis, according to an email obtained by ABC News.
"That was nearly two months ago. But the bulletin was never circulated."
"According to the draft bulletin, analysts determined with “high confidence” that “Russian malign influence actors are likely to continue denigrating presidential candidates through allegations of poor mental or physical health to influence the outcome of the 2020 election.”
"The Trump campaign’s effort to depict Biden, who turns 78 shortly after Election Day, as mentally unfit for office has emerged as a central tenet of its multi-million dollar strategy to paint Biden as a feeble puppet of the “radical left.”

There have been numerous reports from our intelligence agencies this year and over the past few years that Russia has meddled in and is meddling in our democratic process. The OP states that Russia favors Trump and is pushing out a narrative about Trump's contender, Joe Biden.
That narrative from Russia aligns with the narrative of this administration and its funders to label Presidential Candidate, Joe Biden as "sleepy Joe", "Dementia Joe", as a feeble puppet of the “radical left.”
Both Candidates have had incidents where their mental and physical condition could be called into question and the narrative that Joe Biden is a part of the "radical left" does not fit the facts.
Are we American's ok with foreign interference in our democratic process / elections as long as that interference benefits our Tribe leader (regardless of our Tribe leader's political affiliation)?

democrats are perfectly fine with China working non-stop for Joe.
THey get all crazy eyed when they hear the word "Russia"
wow! The Russians made Biden talk? because all it took for me to know Biden is losing it mentally is to listen to HIM.
shoot Democrats have been talking non-stop about Biden's best way to win is to hole up and not say anything.
The same could be said about videos of Trump rambling incoherently during interviews, using two hands holding up a glass of water, slowly walking down a ramp with an abnormal (for him) gait and making an unexpected visit to Walter Reed. I am not making the argument either are fit or are unfit but that there are videos on both sides for both candidates that can be viewed that bring into question either candidates physical and mental health.

No other nation should interfere in our elections. Not China, not Russia. No other nation. Why does it seem some (fortunately it is just some) on this forum are ok with foreign interference of our very important democratic process, and even worse, going along with and repeating / parroting what those nations are saying about "X" candidate?

You are never going to reduce it, much less stop it.
It is what war looks like these days, in the peace pact.
