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.

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

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.

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

Why would Trump want to attract Russian voters?

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