1,000 Paid Russian Trolls Spread Fake News On Hillary Clinton, Senate Intelligence Heads Told

A former FBI agent testified that President Donald Trump helped spread fake news by embracing the stories against his opponents.


Senate intelligence committee leaders have received reports that Russia hired at least 1,000 trolls to spread fake news stories to hurt Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton during the presidential election.


“What really concerns me [are reports] there were upwards of 1,000 paid internet trolls working out of a facility in Russia, in effect taking over a series of computers which are then called botnets that can generate news down to specific areas,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He appeared Wednesday with GOP intel chair Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) at a press conference before committee hearings began.

Did you vote for Trump?

Sen. Mark Warner said in the latest case, the paid trolls apparently focused on swing states in an attempt to influence votes there — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — where people were “reading during the waning days of the election that “‘Clinton is sick,’ or ‘Clinton is taking money from whoever for some source’ … fake news.”

Warner said it’s crucial that investigators determine if voting results were actually affected. Each of the three states narrowly fell to Trump.

“An outside foreign adversary effectively sought to hijack the most critical democratic process, the election of a president, and in that process, decided to favor one candidate over another,” Warner said.

I'm going to go with "fake news" on this one.

Here's the story: Clint Watts told three senators that he thinks it's Russia
He said he has been on this case since 2014.

Clint Watts, is this guy.
http://www.fpri.org/2014/09/seven-flaws-in-the-u-s-strategy-to-counter
-isis
/
He wrote a lot about Syria and the mideast, all with a solid anti-Shia bias.

That's FPRI. Who are they? A pro-war lobby. They hate Russia because Russia is in their way. So is Trump.

So, Clint. He says "I got trolled, I looked into it. It was Russia."

Let's check that out.

Huh, you're writing is pretty good, and you're fairly objective.

Okay, several problems here. You got trolled, on the internet? Wow.

Next, you looked into it? You're an investigative reporter. You look into things. And then you write about them. Why did you never mention this one until now?

Maybe it wasn't worth anything to say Shia were trolling you. There are more Shia than Russians, and they have an obvious reason to troll you. Maybe it's not even the same Shia trolling you, maybe they're all individually offended.

But Russia. So, it's campaign season, time to Butter up.

Specifically, what did Clint say about Russian trolls in 2014? Nothing. 2015? Nada. 2016? Aug 15th, "Russians are on twitter, lying." Late November, 2016: Russian trolls. Ah, lost the election and now we see it.

Okay, so how about you articles on Russia? Some story about how jihadists hate Russia, in 2015. That's it. Okay, so why now. Oh, I see. FPRI said a lot about Russia. Maybe their opinion, not yours.

Getting to know FPRI better. What did you guys think of Russia before this happened? Oh, you hated her. When did you state hating her? 1955. When you were created. To hate Russia. So, you were the propaganda arm of the cold war? Your entire focus was hating Russia, spreading propaganda, and dismissing Russian counterparts, who, sure, were doing the same thing.

Okay, making sense now. Must've sucked for you in 1989 when the wall came down. Oh, yeah, I see. It really did suck for you. So you went on hating Russia, and in 1991, you switched focus to the middle east. Makes sense.

But someone beat the But Russia drum and you popped right up as experts on Russian propaganda. Okay, you probably are that. And you're smart guys and pretty honest. There's just this part of you I still don't quite trust. You hate Iran, constantly. And their entire religion, including a couple hundred million other people who are in it. And Russia. Because it's why you exist.

So, the obvious is that anti-Russian propaganda trolls ACTUALLY DO pay Clint's salary, with no conspiracy theory required, just a little investigative googling.

That said, it does beg the question, are there anti paid anti-Russia trolls out there on the internet?

As for pro-Russian trolls, there are a lot of Russians out there, and millions of them speak English, I'm sure there are quite a few of them. It's just this is like the islamic terrorism narrative: sure they exist; is that why we're hearing of them, or is it because the ones telling us were already obsessed with hating their target.

Still, if the Russians want to pay me for saying so, I'll show them where to send the money.

As far as Trump being bad for America: That's your OPINION, SECOND.

You need to stop elevating your opinion to "universal truth".

Because, in my opinion, Trump is an EXCELLENT President!

If you were to look at events with less partisan eyes - IF SUCH WERE POSSIBLE- you would have noticed that the Trump administration has managed to get the various deep-state actors to out themselves, so now all of the sudden there's squabbling and bickering and illegal snooping and dirty-work all out in the open, with people pointing fingers at each other and trying to jump from the nasty mess and whistle-blowers and Wikileaks coming forward and telling us all of the dirty deeds that are being done to the Office of the President, his appointees, and to us.

And with all of the mud-slinging going on, the media is a confused mess, with real news, fake news, breaking news, sheer propaganda, and brilliant reporting coming at us from ALL directions. Wonderful! It's time that the MSM's monopoly on mainstream opinion was well-and-truly broken.

DISRUPTION IS GOOD. It's time to rip the bandage off that nasty mess and take a look at what's squirming underneath.

Hon, Putin has been saying the same thing for YEARS. If you had bothered to learn a few little things about Putin and Russia ... instead of voluntarily drilling propaganda into your head 24-7 ... you would know that this has been discussed many times by Putin himself. In fact, there was a rather famous speech where he said something like Should the Russian bear just go to the taiga and be alone? That will not be allowed to happen, because the Russian bear will be followed everywhere, and never let along in peace" And yanno what??? WITH NATO'S FORWARD PLACEMENTS ON RUSSIA'S BORDER, PUTIN HAS A POINT THERE!

Please put you thinking cap on!

WHO destabilized or destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and South Sudan? And who watched from the sidelines while all of this happened?

WHO was invited into Syria? The USA? Turkey? ISIL? al Qaeda? Israel?

Was it Russia that massed troops on our Canadian border, and placed missiles on the Mexican border and in Cuba?

Is it Russia that has 1000+ military installations around the world?

Is it Russia that spends more in weaponry than the next tend nations COMBINED?

Instead of listening to propaganda, just familiarize yourself with a few salient FACTS before you start bloviating m'kay?

Excellent? Really? Every time Trump goes for a game of golf, it costs $3,000,000. Four years times 50 weekends equals, oh-oh, a lot of money:

Trump family travel and protection costs will surpass half-a-billion dollars by the end of Trump’s four-year term, vastly more than has been spent for any other president. This despite Trump promising “I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done.”

You are the only one that I know of who would talk about "the cost of golf" in the same thread as "the deep state". Even THUGR, as confused as he is, is more attuned to what's important.

You have NEVER had a sense of perspective, and it doesn't look like you're going try developing one in the near future. FYI: Not being able to judge relative importance of things? It's called being irrational ... unable to ratio. And you, hon, are irrational.

I really don't expect an answer any time soon. THUGR, like all of the neocons and liberaloids here, have never been able to define what AMERICAN interests are. Because of that, they have never really been able to discern when our interests are actually being threatened and by whom. That's why they wind up hyperventilating about WMD and Assad and golf and all of the kinds of stupid shit that get thrown in front of them as giant distractions.

The money trail is littered with bodies

“There’s been more dead Russians in the past three months that are tied to this investigation who have assets in banks all over the world. They are dropping dead, even in western countries,” Watts concluded. “These are all huge openings to understand how they are funded by the Russian government.

Of course you are wrong. Significant difference: T brings information he believes to be true, while Russian trolls promote stories they know to be false. "Hillary will start WWIII," "Hillary has Parkinson's"or some brain ailment, "Pizza/Pedophile Gate" "Killed her competitors," etc. I'm sure there's a long list of the disinformation/fake news posted by Trolls for Trump online if you don't already have one.



Just a firefly fan who got tired of SIG and 1kiki's constant attacks against America, while simultaneously pushing Putins' agenda. I post from mainstream sources and not zerohedge and RT as SIG does. That should say it all.

I really don't expect an answer any time soon. THUGR, like all of the neocons and liberaloids here, have never been able to define what AMERICAN interests are. Because of that, they have never really been able to discern when our interests are actually being threatened and by whom. That's why they wind up hyperventilating about WMD and Assad and golf and all of the kinds of stupid shit that get thrown in front of them as giant distractions.

Signym!

Trump, or at least his people, are not following your notions about Russia and treating it fairly. Maybe Trump should give the Secretary of State and Defense a firm lecture on what is and is not in the interests of the USA? How could Trump betray you in this fashion? You say "Make an exhaustive list of Russia's "crimes" and BE SPECIFIC." Where is Trump's list? You say "Because, in my opinion, Trump is an EXCELLENT President!" Is the following your idea of Trump's excellent policy?

www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/politics/rex-tillerson-russia-ukraine/index.htm
l

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Friday that US sanctions against Russia will remain in place until Moscow "reverses the actions" it has taken in Ukraine.

The comments are notable given President Donald Trump's at-times reluctance to criticize Russia over its actions in Crimea, though he did declare last month that the territory was "taken" by Russia. As a candidate, Trump hinted he might recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea, and sources have previously told CNN that Ukraine-related sanctions were on the table for review as part of Trump's interest in pursuing warmer ties with Moscow.

"American and NATO support for Ukraine remains steadfast. As we have repeated at every ministerial and summit since Russia launched its campaign of aggression against Ukraine, NATO allies stand firm in our support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Tillerson said at a NATO meeting at the organization's headquarters in Brussels. "We do not, and will not, accept Russian efforts to change the borders of territory of Ukraine."

He added, "We will continue to hold Russia accountable to its Minsk commitments. The United States sanctions will remain until Moscow reverses the actions that triggered our sanctions."

At his confirmation hearings in January, Tillerson called Russia's claims on Crimea "illegitimate." His comments on Friday also echo those made by US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, when she told the UN Security Council last month that US sanctions against Russia would remain in place until it withdraws from Crimea.

Earlier Friday, Tillerson and Defense Secretary James Mattis criticized Russian actions in overseas comments aimed at reassuring US allies.

You are the only one that I know of who would talk about "the cost of golf" in the same thread as "the deep state". Even THUGR, as confused as he is, is more attuned to what's important.

You have NEVER had a sense of perspective, and it doesn't look like you're going try developing one in the near future. FYI: Not being able to judge relative importance of things? It's called being irrational ... unable to ratio. And you, hon, are irrational.

No it's not. You and your MSM goons are creating a panic over nothing.

Emanuele Goldstein. 5 minutes hate. 1984.

Read a book T.



Try reading a newspaper.




I guess this means you guys are big fans of Comey again? It's hard to keep up with your on-again-off-again relationship.

That's the difference between books and newspapers T. 1984 is still just as culturally relevant today as it was almost 70 years ago.

You guys can't decide from week to week whether Comey is a good guy or a bad guy.
