The Bongino Rule and Election Interference

In the lead-up to elections, skepticism should be applied regarding narratives connecting conservatives, Trump, and Russia, as they may often be misleading. The 'Bongino rule' suggests that everything heard about these topics 60 days prior to an election should be viewed with caution due to the high likelihood of misinformation. Recent claims from the Justice Department about Russian interference aimed at supporting Trump may be tactics designed to discredit conservative voices ahead of the campaign, suggesting this narrative serves a strategic political purpose. This preemptive measure is thought to manipulate public perception and create distrust toward conservative figures as a way to divert attention from polling weaknesses faced by Democrats.
