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.

Agree. I am underwhelmed at some third rate foreign financed trolls as opposed to a hack ex-spook, financed by a presidential candidate and her party, shopped this nonsense to major media outlets. A rotten stinking pile.
They aren’t even the best trolls in the world. We have the best trolls in the world. Just watch.
While we’re all laughing at Mueller’s pitiful results, Hillary and her minions remain un-indicted.
As an American Citizen , I am far beyond offended by Mueller and his B.S. As a USA TAX PAYER I do hereby call for the Immediate Termination of Mueller from his current employment and demand he forfeit all future payments fro the Federal Government . Mueller is not qualified to work as a janitor. He has sponged Millions of $ from honest tax paying citizens who deserve to have an honest man holding the office which Mueller has ruined. Please throw the rat bum out A.S.A.P. , he is obviously a traitor by proxy.
POST OF THE DAY!
On “The Five” yesterday (a Fox News Show), Dana Perino & others put on a show how THEY too were personally traumatized by Russian bits attacking their accounts. It was disgusting.
What?
Time travel. It's a thing.
Oh, drat. Now I've listened to it, too!
Even though the lyrics are on the side of the video, I still have difficulty understanding it. Maybe that's because I don't know German. Russian attempt at subversion foiled because I've only ever studied Latin and Asian languages!
Ummmm, so?
That must be why they practice so much.
You can make people on facebook eat Tide Pods....just saying.
I want my money back.
We ought to drain Mueller's Swiss bank account to pay back the millions he's stolen from the treasure to produce pointless indictments.
Millions spent to find out the Russian's aren't our friends- get the fuck out!
Who knew?
Thanks, FrankR!
So, Russians are smart and US citizen demonstrators are ignorant. (I could go with that).
This is fantastic. He’s going to get trolled with thousands of signs.
Mueller has obviously indicted 13 Russians that will NEVER face a jury but allows the Dems to say “ see, Trump was all wrong, there was Russia interference”. That’s what this entire stunt was all about. According to the indictment the Russians spent a WHOPPING $1.2 million...WOW ... Hilary’s campaign spent $12 million for a FAKE RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA DOSSIER WHICH SHE LEAKED TO THE MEDIA FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALTERING A US ELECTION!
It could have been worse. They could have “tricked” this unwitting American into smoking.
And how much did Soros spend to pay internet trolls?
And what about the news media CNN,ABC, NBC trying to rig the election by bashing Trump with lies like the bimbo eruptions etc.
Muelller indicts 13 internet trolls. This is a joke. Now the left is trying to criminalize free speed on the internet.
“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.’”
WTFWTFWTFWTF.
