Democrats from the House Intelligence Committee released several-thousand ads that had been run on Facebook as part of Russias efforts to interfere in U.S. politics from mid-2015 through August of last year. We broke down the numbers behind those posts, including how many clicks they got each month and how much they cost.
We thought it would be interesting, though, to also pull out the most popular ads that were introduced each month to get a broad sense of which advertising efforts were actually effective. Below, the ad campaigns initiated in each month from June 2015 to August 2017 that received the most overall clicks. (No data is available for June 2017.)
We also included information about whom each ad was meant to target. The people purchasing the ads were often specific in where they wanted the ads to run and whom they wanted to target, usually based on political views or racial identity. Notice, though, that none of the most popular ads are specifically political, talking about Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Instead, theyre broadly political, meant, it seems, to encourage association with divisive issues in U.S. politics.

“ads that had been run on Facebook as part of ***ONLY*** Russias efforts to interfere in U.S. politics from mid-2015 through August of last year. “
I want a list of other countries’ ads for context.
I read that twice.
WTH does it MEAN?
The deep state trying to play up these Facebook ads as making the difference in the election is like someone seeing a little kid urinate in the ocean and claiming the entire ocean is now contaminated.
I’ve noticed elsewhere it is being reported that the DEMOCRATS released these ads. Like Wired:

Yes, those paragons of honesty and truth, the ‘RAT party.
Had candidate Trump not been the GOP nominee, say Cruz had won ... what would Hillry been accusing Cruz of doing???
Hillry Clinton is one wicked woman... not just nasty, but pure unadulterated wicked.
Frank Stallone!
With a mere $100,000 the Russians apparently did to the Election what Hillary did turning $1000 into $100,000 investing in Cattle Futures.
That’s all they’ve got? This is what all the fuss is about? Sheesh. Losers.
I never saw any of these ‘ads’... it doesen’t seem possible these ads caused Hillary to lose.
“My personal opinion is, the Russian/Putin US presidential preference, was Bernie Moscow Honeymooner.”
I’m sure they’d rather have had him or Felonia over DJT any day.
Cant get passed pay wall
Really??? Thats the best they got?!?!
Bernie demonstrated he was for sale and bowed out. He was actually getting more votes than Hillry without her superdelegates. Now where was Bernie getting all his campaign cash. He sure was not self funding. Trump repeatedly mentioned Bernie at his campaign rallies ... and the 'big' crowds he was getting ... and that he sold his soul to the devil

Notice the date...
LOL. Me too. What does it mean?
I feel bad, it seems no one wants to target me. I have not even seen a single one of those. Zero...
$650,000,000.00 was just to cover hitlarys Bar Tab!
Yeah and 10 million people wanted to vote for Hillary but because of all them ads on Facebook they voted for Trump all of the sudden! It had nothing to do with things like Hillary not having a program to run on or such stuff. No it was them Facebook ads!
In other words - they trolled
Did they get $3.50 per post?
All those illegals in Cali-fornia were so turned off by the Russian ads they voted for Her Heinous.
