This is all a sham. The Russians have been trying to influence US and western elections since the 1800’s.
The US also tries to influence Russian and other elections since then. Its called Information Operations.
Just look at what the Obama regime did targeting elections in Israel and Russia to name a few.
Let’s consider the obvious——
Mueller had the (a) 2015 Radio Free Europe report, and, (b) the October Russian Business Magazine (RBC) article he cribbed from even BEFORE he indicted the 13 Russians.
A clear case of Mueller making the crime fit the narrative.
>> ..The notion that the Russians buying a few ads on Facebook swayed the election is laughable....
Not quite. Think about it this way: Do you imagine that Hitlery would have gotten as many votes as she did if the American media weren’t giving her 24/7 free ads? Propaganda does sway elections. The reason the democrats are pointing the finger at Russia, is because they know how effective their relentless (24/7/365) media campaign is.
The part that is laughable is the puny size of the Facebook ad buys in comparison with the constant drumbeat of liberal ads.
The Russians were operating from overseas, not in the US.
I believe 2-3 were here.....b/c not all of their activities involved computers.
Some organizing took place on the ground ......is the way I understand it.
Possible, I suppose. I haven’t seen anything specifically indicating that any of the Russians had entered the US. “On the ground” activities could have been carried out by Americans who were unwitting dupes. (Lots of them are available on the left.)
I will remain committed to some of the R’s being here——
b/c it raises questions as to the Obama admin’s involvement.
