Trump's insistence that the claims of Russian interference are a hoax contrasts with substantial evidence to the contrary. The passive voice used to describe the issues surrounding Carter Page, the Alfa Bank anomalies, and the Steele dossier obscures the agency responsible for disinformation campaigns. Misleading narratives have contributed to a public perception that downplays genuine concerns. The commentary also references a Russian plan to frame Hillary Clinton, underscoring the complexities surrounding allegations against Trump's campaign.
In spite of all of this evidence, or perhaps because of it, Trump has loudly insisted that it's all a hoax.
With that passive voice, Graham dodges the agency involved in these things, at least one of which goes back to a deliberate and apparently successful attempt to fill the dossier with disinformation.
His attempts to instill doubt have been assisted by the fact that some of the wilder rumors and reports concerning his campaign didn't turn out to be true.
Graham then describes an SVR plan - concocted in advance of, but within a week of, the founding moment in the Steele narrative - to frame Hillary Clinton.
