Russia Is Already Trying to Influence the 2020 Election


It seems you don't know how Facebook and Twitter work. Items get shared or retweeted. This is exponential which is why analytics are needed to understand the dynamic.

The reason the Kremlin uses US social media is a case of 'more bang for the buck' ... massive American exposure for a modest monetary investment.

The fact is that the US intelligence community could not quantify how influential Moscow's meddling was (they would need to be inside Facebook/Twitter which was not permitted),

but considered it to be influential enough to include it in their collective intelligence report on 2016 election meddling.
 
The Mueller report parroted the nonsense from Clapper and Brennan...without question. Heck, Mueller even ignored the fact that the FBI never questioned the Crowdstrike redacted draft report that said that Russia hacked the DNC servers. The FBI never looked at the DNC servers themselves. Mueller didn't investigate anything to do with Russia...he just accepted and repeated what someone else told him.

No...Mueller didn't "confirm" anything.

Funny, I can't find Clapper or Brennan mentioned anywhere in the report. Could you please tell me what page of the report that might be found on? I have the report right in front of me.

Could you also explain why eleven Russians affiliated with the IRA were indicted for computer fraud and identity theft? Do you know who the US person affiliated with the Trump campaign that Guccifer2.0 contacted on August 15, 2016?

Guccifer 2.0 wrote: what do you think of the info on the turnout model for the democrats entire presidential campaign.

US person affiliated with Trump campaign responded: Pretty standard.


Do you know who owned and operated DCLeaks, Mycroft?

So you are saying Facebook worked amazingly well with Russian Ads but did not work at all for the roughly 100 Million spent by Clinton and Trump.
I would say that the russian contribution in advertisements was flush into the cesspool we now call the internet.

Please, Please, Please gain a realist perspective of the magnitude of this problem!!!! Yes, it is a problem and it should be checked, double checked and triple checked in the future but it was not why HRC lost the presidency.

Watch the chinese dictate what the NBA says!!!!

The Russian operation was to sow division, primarily racial division. Quite different than the typical American politician advertisment.

Do you know anything about Russian meddling at all? It seems not.
