“What is clear is that all of the messaging clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party -- and specifically, Donald Trump,” wrote researchers at the University of Oxford and Graphika, a company that analyzes social networks. Right-wing voters were encouraged to support Trump, while left-wing groups were “provided messaging that sought to confuse, distract, and ultimately discourage members from voting.”

    We knew this.

    When you find evidence that it was coordinated by his campaign let us know.

    No collusion. 2 years and no collusion. Hammers gonna drop any day! Bigger than Watergate!

    Why would the Russians not want Clinton? They had already paid her millions for 20% of our uranium and she was a proven prostitute.

    In 2012 the Kremlin wanted Obama to win over Romney. Obama mocked Romney when he correctly stated that Russia was a geo-political threat to the US.

    You'd had Obama telling Medvedev to pass along the information that he would be more "flexible" after election on the issue of missile defense. Obama overturned 50 plus years of bi-partisan US foreign policy and invited the Russians back into the Middle East. For the first six years of his Administration Obama kissed Putin's ass, removing sanctions that the Bush Admin had put on Russia. Obama did nothing to Russia even after we had found out that the Russians had hacked our State Department, our DOD and the White House. And during the 2016 election we know for a fact that Hillary worked with a foreign agent who in turn worked with Russians with ties to Putin and the Kremlin in order gain information to use against Trump.

    The fucking double standards that are being applied here are really galling.

    But but but Obama and Hillary POTD.

    Did the deep state spy on trump?!? Shouldn’t someone go to jail for that? That sounds like a huge abuse of power. How are they getting away with it GayBob?

    What if I told you that foreign actors want to be able to conflate "coordinated campaigns" with "collusion" to undermine faith in democracy and the electoral process?

    I didn't say anything about the "deep state" my lightweight Kunt of a friend. Are you denying that what I said is accurate? Sure is good to see that you liberal Kunts don't rely on talking points.

    Hillary worked for a foreign agent who in turn worked with the Russians? How does this happen in America? Is gitmo ready? How come you never answer any questions?
