The Disinformation Game Continues
And the more things change, the less they seem to change.

CIA, FBI looking into forged letter from top Democrat on Ukraine
The request for comment reached Sen. Dick Durbin’s staff just after midnight on Monday. What did the No. 2 Senate Democrat have to say about a letter, over his signature, in which he appeared to dictate to Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk who should be in his government? A Washington, D.C.-based reporter for Russian outlet RIA Novosti wanted to know.
The discovery of the letter appeared to be a huge propaganda coup for Moscow and pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine, who have argued that the government in Kiev is Washington’s puppet.
“By the time the East Coast was awake, we had messages from State and our embassies flagging the issue for us as well,” a Durbin aide told Yahoo News.
But the letter was a hoax.
