Mueller: Russian Trolls Convinced Unwitting American To Hold “Happy Birthday” Sign For Oligarch
Quartz ^ | February 16th, 2018

Posted on 02/16/2018 6:54:48 PM PST by Helicondelta

One of the overarching questions about Russia’s online campaign to destabilize the US election is just how effective those social media efforts really were.

Well, according to special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russian citizens and 3 entities, Russian trolls were persuasive enough to get at least one US citizen to stand up and wish their boss a very special happy birthday.

The indictment says they used a social media account to arrange “for a real US person to stand in front of the White House…under false pretenses to hold a sign that read ‘Happy 55th Birthday Dear Boss.'”

They reportedly told the American that it was for someone who “is a leader here and our boss…our funder.”

Their leader is Russian oligarch Egveny Prigozhin, who paid for the disinformation campaign. The event apparently took place around May 29 2016, just days before Prigozhin’s 55th birthday on June 1st 1961.

Remember Alinsky's rules. Ridicule, ridicule, ridicule. It's what these deep state trolls deserve. They need to be laughed out of office.

They got their privates in a vice, too much support for Trump, so they couldn't take him out without CWII going nuclear on them, so what do they do, they distract us with an indictment of Russian trolls on the internet.

We are supposed to fall for that?

As one fortuitous typo put it - they are rouge [-nosed] operatives, e.g. clowns.

Where is that picture of Putin laughing his ass off?

Oh, look, squirrel, but the squirrels are clowns, and the clowns are our clowns.

Mueller and the media want us to believe that 13 internet trolls swayed an election! LOL.

How many billions$ already spent on investigating to indict 13 supposedly “russian” internet trolls!!! LOL LOL LOL

This is a joke!

13, 13, thirteen!!!! whole internet Trolls control the USA elections! LOL

These indictments are a joke!They have nothing on Trump.

But no indictments against the DOJ,FBI, CIA etc for trying to frame Trump, do a coup against Trump, spy on Trump etc.

Mueller is trying to do a coup against Trump but this is all they can manufacture! LOL.

I’m curious as to what the plan is to try the trolls. Are we going to ask Putin to turn them over? He might if we ask nice-like. Or maybe we’ll invade Russia so we can arrest those nefarious knuckleheads. Wait, wait! I got it; we’ll tell the United Nations to extend to Eastern Europe the jurisdiction of the FBI!

Someone who, but for our tireless FBI, would have attracted as much public attention in Washington as I did when I visited it in 1979.

I remember that. Seeing you there swayed me to vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Spaseeba, comrade!

If Russian Oligarchs supported Hillary instead of Trump.... There would be no investigation of anything.

I’m meeting beautiful Russian women online to frame Mueller for the crime of framing trolls.

If the Russians demand his extradition, will the Deep State rebuff it? Stay tuned.
