I can only read this as GOP propaganda as we can also read from the Democrats. Both Parties play the same game using the same marketing propaganda. The biggest point for me is hearing how they both sound the same with the same belittling attacks. Given the total corporatist model that controls this government both Parties need serious cynicism when they speak as real information is too often not provided the public. What we do know is that the government oversight agencies are always underfunded and get their hands tied when they want to do a real investigation. We, the public, need to focus on whistleblowers who get handed heavy repressive treatment as they are often the only source of real information. Julian Assange was one such hero for the public and we know how the US government went after him literally trying to destroy him, his sanity and health with even the CIA plotting assassination attempts on him. Trump was instrumental in this brutal repressive attack on free speech as was Biden. Obama avoided charging Assange as he actually had a solid foundation in the Constitution and issues around Freedom of Speech so refused making such legal charges, not that he didnt support them.

I have to assume there is always some nugget of truth in accusations but so much more is distortion for propaganda as well as self-aggrandizement that is undeserved.
