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.

sounds like a plan!
Russians trolls. Doing the jobs American trolls won’t do.
I guess holding the birthday sign had the power to hack the voting machines even though the machines were not connected to the Internet ! LOL LOL lol
How many Communist trolls got red dupes to hold up pre-printed placards at BLM, Pussyhat, Resist, WorldCantWait, etc rallies?
Pathetic. And they don’t even have collusion.
It’s not over yet. He can spend millions more and ignore other potential mass murderers to see if he can find an even more useless tactile or squeeze some other poor slob into a manufactured guilty plea/plea deal. We might even find out a Russian slept within a mile of the White House once!
Tactile = factoid Stupid autocorrect
Fallacy. Irrelevant.
I’m guessing the ‘American’s fooled’ were democrats. If they were Republicans it would have been leaked and the press would be getting rope for a hanging.
The pussyhat march was a Palestinian troll thing...
Remember when Obama had Palestinians making campaign calls and so on especially in Ohio? And then there was funny money coming in from the Middle East?
Did the FBI go after those meddlesome Palestinians?
That was the same election that Joe the Plumber was hacked by Democrats...wasn’t it?
The Russians tricked me into listening to Dschinghis Khan’s “Moskau.” I’m so ashamed.
YUP. There was all kinds of foreign money and support provided to Obama, Hillary, and other Democraps. Huge investigations are still needed.
What a joke. I trolled Michigan & Wisconsin College students to vote Stein. MSM made it easier with the fake stories about Killerys lead. I’d wait for the right thread on HuffPo, Slate or DU, then bleat like a mule about how the Dems Burned The Bern. And send the Dems a msg, vote Stein. LOL
No one easier to dupe than a college student whose been told all their life how brilliant they are.
Precious!
Americansky deep state troll seeks willing Russian lady for fun, 302s, indictments and bondage. Call. special counsel Bob.
If these 13 guys with computers have more influence than NYT-WP-LAT-ABC-CBS-NBC-CNN etc. combined then why are they so worried about FOX News?
Isn't that what Comey tweeted about the Nunes memo? I believe it was "That's it, that's all you've got."
