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 entrepreneur’s money towards New Knowledge, a cybersecurity firm which fabricated some 1,000 Russian language Twitter accounts to follow Moore.

The company used the tactic to link the controversial Republican to so-called Russian influence campaigns and then fed it to the mainstream media. They also created misleading Facebook pages urging Republicans to support a ‘write-in’ candidate instead of supporting Moore. The ploy was revealed by New York Times earlier this month.

This is the most evidence Mueller has seen in two years.

AET is ran by former Barack Obama administration official, Mikey Dickerson, who previously helped the US government with its adoption of new technology.

How about that...

That’s for sure.

So all of this “Russian” crap is really minions of the Kenyanesian Usurper.

“Sorry about that.

But I’m sure glad it worked.”

Consider that both Moore from Alabama, and Stevens from Alaska, were driven from office by dirty tricks of the Deep State and Media false information tropes.

How much would two more reliable Trump supporters in the Senate be worth about now?

Reid is just another bad actor.

You can always tell what antics the “democrats” are pulling by what they accuse our side of doing.

Moore should sue him into oblivion

I don’t think there were any Russian bots in 2016. It was the democrat party doing it.

It is always about the power.

Sorry is an admission of guilt to damages that cannot be calculated. He could have won this race. I believe that Judge Roy Moore is due damages and reparations, 8 to 10 figures for starters. Just sayin'...

Then comes all of the supporters.

He can make it up to us by donating a couple hundred million dollars to the trump re-election campaign and to republican candidates for the next congressional elections :-)

[marktwain]

Good point.

[Secret Agent Man]

Hope this doesnt mean he wont go to jail.

His sorry is godam worthless.

Herr Hoffmann is just sorry he got caught.

Ever notice all the Nazi sounding names involved in the grand conspiracy? Hoffman, Mueller, Soros (he actually worked for the Nazis), Strzok....

He needs to go to jail for this. An apology is beyond insufficient.

Damage done. Sorry now.
