Still trying to find the actual crime that was committed here, even if Russians did buy ads on Facebook.
“I think the narrative is shifting from the claim that the Russian ads were “fake news” to the new claim that they were “divisive”.”
Yup. I don’t think it was reported here, but Blacktivist was the name of users (tied to Russia) on both twitter and facebook that were strong BLM supporters.
Exclusive: Fake black activist accounts linked to Russian government:

The Kremlin Crafted #TakeAKnee Memes for More Than a Year:

I can understand why the ‘investigative committees’ wouldn’t be in a hurry to let that info. out.
I need some help.
I hear about the question of foreign nations wishing to have certain people in charge of the US for their advantage. We wish the same thing. For instance, we would love to have someone more relegated to working with us rather than threatening us in North Korea. So how can we accomplish this? We can openly root for the ones we want. And except for the full figures, we would be nothing more than cheerleaders, not players. Cheerleaders do not play the game.
So what difference does it make, since they can’t get into the voting booth, and didn’t change a single vote using a hack? The people voted that could, and the Russians didn’t. Where was the process changed? And CNN admits these “adds” were directed to Michigan and Wisconsin. And according to a DNC insider for her campaign in a Wash Post article, she lost them because she didn’t work much there.
So even though we do this ourselves, like India during the Obama administration, and we have freedom of speech here in the US to include foreign nations, what is illegal about it?
Would Hilary be overjoyed that a foreign nation wants her in the seat enough to say so? Wouldn’t anybody? And countries like Sri Lanka, China, some middle east countries and Latin America were openly assisted by CNN to be opinionated.

So what’s the big deal? I have to look at this as another BS attempt to discredit Trump with nothing at all. And no one so far has displayed anything else.
