blah, blah, blah ... "The executive at Vkontakte, or VK, Russia’s equivalent to Facebook, emailed Donald Trump Jr. and social media director Dan Scavino in January and again in November of last year, offering to help promote Trump’s campaign to its nearly 100 million users, according to people familiar with the messages...."

Looks like Nellie Ohr was looking for Russian Social Media Users in 2014:

This is what is known as grasping for straws. Wow, the Deep State has gone beyond scraping the bottom of the barrel with this narrative.

That’s my comment about Nellie Ohr - she was building a Russian Social Media presence in 2014 ... that’s my point

[House Atreides]

You think they’re desperate now? Wait til after Moore’s victory tomorrow.

[Garden Island]

Dude! You are fast. Way to piss on tomorrow morning’s would be liberal parade!!

[Eleutheria5]

So all the Russians would vote Trump, and he’d become POTR.

If Russians could vote for Trump perhaps that would have mattered.

What nation is Fakebook from? They’ve sought to help the Democrats and colluded with ABC News to shape thought dating back to 2014.

How many of the “100 million” VK users are American or even speak English?

Moveon.org used global “talent” dating back to the 2004 election to create video commercials (online) against President Bush’s re-election. They hosted thousands of them and called it a “contest”. Not all entrants could vote in the US election.

I confess, Hot Russian Brides have been trying to contact me on Facebook.

...offering to help promote Trump’s campaign to its nearly 100 million users...

Trump was running for President of Russia? Does Putin know that?

4-D chess!

The emails, which were read to The Washington Post and confirmed by people with knowledge of their contents...

The people with knowledge of their contents:

It would be interesting to see who Google and Facebook are supporting and how.

‘’’How many of the “100 million” VK users are American or even speak English?’’’

Actually a lot, but not enough to make any difference.

[Terry Mross]

Why would Trump want to attract Russian voters?

If the Russians support Trump they must not be too bad.
