No one has ever argued that there was not foreign influence - Nor has anyone argued that Russia prefered Trump - It just shows that they understood that the world would be worse off with Hillary at the Helm.
In contrast to the consistent denigration of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump's candidacy received mostly positive attention from the IRA' s influence operatives, though it is important to note that this assessment specifically applies to pre-election content. The Committee's analysis indicates that post-election IRA activity shifted to emphasize and provoke anti-Trump sentiment on the left. DiResta's team assesses that in relation to pre-election content: "The majority of the political content was anti-Hillary Clinton; there appeared to be a consistent preference for then-candidate Donald Trump, beginning in the early primaries .... There was no pro-Clinton content."137
For instance, IRA employees were directed to focus on U.S. politics and to "use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump-we support"them)." 138
) Further, the IRA's attempts to engage political activists by using false U.S. personas to "communicate with unwitting members, volunteers, and supporters of the Trump Campaign involved in local community outreach, as well as grassroots groups that supported then-candidate Trump."142
After the election, IRA operatives orchestrated disparate political rallies in the United States both supporting president-elect Trump, and protesting the results of the election.
So just to be clear - who was president at the time and should have had the IC looking into these things and protecting our elections? Instead they appear to have been spending all their time focusing on Trump with laser precision. Maybe had they taken their rose colored blinders off they might have seen the bigger picture, but Obama and the IC was too busy trying to find anything they could to damage Trump in the same election. You would think that since they were so focused on Trump that they might have stumbled over those Russians eaerlier since they could not look into anything else but that for a long time leading up to the election.
So Obama and the IC dropped the ball, and Hillary was such a horrible canidate that even with the full weight of the US Government, IC, DOJ, FBI, CIA and Ukraine - a handfull of posts on facebook and instagram was enough to turn her into the bitter harpie she is today?
I know you wanted to post this as so damning to Trump, But I read this a whole different way. This is that Obama did build that, he and our government agencies that are charged with protection our elections FAILED, and Hillary was such a horrible canidate with so much baggage she could not win against such a flawed canidate as Trump due to a few likes on fakebook posts.
And maybe there should be more controls on international media sites such as facebook, instagram and others - they have done such a fabulous job of policing themselves - but then again they can still probably do better then Obama, DOJ, CIA, FBI did during this attack on our republic, and that thought is sad because we all know by now that facebook sucks at protecting data, but damn they can sure block or ban a republicans quickly.
I also note you do not bring much mention to
For instance, IRA employees were directed to focus on U.S. politics and to "use any opportunity to criticize Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump-we support"them)." 138
So the Russians also supported Bernie, but I notice there is little mention of that fact anywhere in your posts, but you are not so concerned that Russia supported Bernie and he is one of your top tier primary canidates. Bernie has many more ties to Russia then Trump, but yet not a negative word from you, so it does appear that they supported "Anybody but Hitlery"
