The co-founder of LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman, has apologized to Republican Roy Moore for funding an organisation that faked a Russian bot involvement to mar his election campaign in Alabama.
American Engagement Technologies (AET), which Hoffman gave $750,000 to, put $100,000 of the entrepreneurs money towards New Knowledge, a cybersecurity firm which fabricated some 1,000 Russian language Twitter accounts to follow Moore.

Cookie-cutter conservatives denounced Roy Moore, hating a real conservative, conveniently accepting the libelous narrative, and proclaiming him a terrible candidate who could not possibly win.
The media was against him. The Democrats were against him. Mitch McConnell’s RNC RINO machine was against him. This millionaire was against him.
He almost won.
Imagine if the cookie-cutters had not played into Mitch’s hands for once.
Google Dmitri Mehlhorn. He brokered the deal. Probably made high 6 or low 7 figures doing it.
The mans past is empty. Where was he born? Nothing. No early history. Not even a wikkipedia page. He appears a dozen years ago, is rich, but nothing early.
Hmmmm....spook???
Exactly. If Mitch had even supported him, once he won the primary, he would have won.
It is a severe, obvious case of how the Media has been controlling the narrative and the country for 50 years, at least!
He’s sorry? He’d feel even more sorry if he was in PRISON.
