FBI: Lincoln Project Never Trumpers Peddled Iranian Disinformation Meant to Help Biden

. . .The foreign nations aren’t the only disseminators of false information. American groups including Never Trump operation the Lincoln Project served as Iran’s American digital foot soldiers, buying into the disinformation and amplifying it.

After the Wednesday press conference, the Lincoln Project deleted its recent tweet, which claimed, “The Proud Boys are attempting to scare voters away from the polls.”

They’ve deleted their tweet where they assisted Iran in an operation interfering in our election in hopes of hurting @realDonaldTrump but don’t worry your heads @ProjectLincoln, I saved it for you guys to frame for your gallery of desperate attempts to attack the president. pic.twitter.com/ChuHUVumf2

“Media did exactly what Iran knew they would do. They assumed fake ‘Proud Boys’ e-mails were real, then used them to attack Trump,” a senior intelligence official told The Federalist in light of tonight’s announcement.

Following the announcement, mainstream media reporters, including PBS White House correspondent and MSNBC contributor Yamiche Alcindor, continued peddling the Iran line:

Huh? @Yamiche links to an article stating this was an Iranian disinformation campaign with a tweet promoting the very disinformation Iran was trying to promote. pic.twitter.com/cZdC3DqM3V
