Twitter let Democrats spread a false narrative that “Russian bots” were making a Republican memo on FBI surveillance abuse trend in 2018...
The classified memo was slammed by prominent Democrats and the mainstream media...
[A]fter its release, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Adam Schiff wrote an open letter claiming the hashtag ReleaseTheMemo was being promoted by “Russian influence operations.”

“I just reviewed the accounts that posted the first 50 tweets with #releasethememo,” Roth reportedly wrote. “None of them show any signs of affiliation to Russia.”
How much did this stuff do to ruin any chance of tenable relations with the Russians? We know they were ticked off at Hillary’s campaign scapegoating them.
Dems are liars and connivers.
