      Quite the denial from Russia's Institute of Strategic Studies re: Reuters’ report that it provided framework for Russian election meddling:pic.twitter.com/F3LdlmZo0j

      That one I actually buy. There was a good deal of conspiratorial hopefulness behind that story.

      Really? This is essentially just a more verbose "Russia strongly denies.."

      For a story that doesn't hold up I'd expect them to.

      Why doesn't it hold up in your opinion? Anon sources? Too good? Genuinely asking

      Also they generally "strongly deny" everything, so..

      Saddam "strongly denied" he had WMD. He was, in fact, correct, contrary to a bunch of people saying, "but Saddam always strongly denies."

          Still doesn't explain why in your opinion this story doesn't hold up.

          gotcha. Youre a trusted source, so was only asking to better understand your perspective. 👍

          Ok,I think any fault is w reuters report though. The Rus reports may have been part of framework but Reuters says they were definitively

          Suspect it's their sources. How do 7 people leak those docs w/o the date?

          Do Russians use DD/MM/YYYY? Maybe the sources are old, and they were confused by the format. 😄
