DISINFO: US emissaries attempt to influence Russian policies through the oligarchy

SUMMARY

America should be hit with her own “weapons”: there should be an investigation about Washington’s involvement in Russian elections. It should start with the establishment of a special commission that would be tasked with studying and collecting facts on influence operations, performed by US Special Forces and State Agencies on Russian electoral processes. American emissaries attempt to influence Russian internal policies through the oligarchy.

RESPONSE

An unfounded conspiracy theory on foreign influence on Russian politics, and US and/or other actors standing behind any expressions of popular discontent. Similar cases can be found here and here.
