The Hill: Russian Troll Farms Now Working Disinformation Campaign on Bob Mueller (Congress, activist)

[golgi1]

The communists in this nation merely need to get it over with and declare a totalitarian government, with any opposition being "Russian subversion". At least stop wasting our time with all of the foreplay.

[Absolom]

We finally found a way to get the left to say a disparaging thing about Russia; have their candidate lose an election. Too bad they couldn't find it in their hearts to do the same during the Cold War.

Why do Media Matters trolls worry about Russian trolls? Only weak minded people who can't think for themselves pay attention to either group.

Oh wait, I guess that is why Hillary lost. Never mind.

You mean like the American Left is rooting for the Chinese? The Left hates America.

Russia is seeking to paint Special Counsel Bob Mueller, an American war hero and medal of honor recipient, as untrustworthy and compromised.

I assume Russia's motivation is so when Mueller's report comes out, which will most likely exploit Trump as a criminal, his base won't accept it.

I can understand the St. Petersburg team pushing this BS. A job's a job.

But why would Americans conspire with them to discredit the investigation?

Why would Americans not want to find out what the hell went on and who all was involved?

Why would Americans not want criminals brought to justice?

You mean that same China that Trump had his clothing line manufactured in?

Or the same China that we are borrowing money from to pay soybean farmers for the economic hit they're taking in Trump's trade war with China?

That China?

The Left hates America, the Left is rooting for China, looks and sounds like a Russian troll farm propaganda.

Just like the malarky about Mueller's investigation.

I am pretty sure Mueller hasn't leaked anything to anyone (other than Trump and his cronies' lawyers who then leak to the press).

But maybe I missed something. Could you give some examples of how Mueller is working a disinformation campaign to discredit Trump? What exactly has he said or done that would even indicate that?

Mueller is "discrediting" Trump just like Mueller "discredited" John Gotti and Sammy Gravano - by arresting and prosecuting the criminals that surround them.

There appears to be an easy way to avoid being "discredited" by Mueller... don't commit crimes and surround yourself with criminals.

Amazing how he lost by one of the largest popular vote margins in history and they can keep running this stuff without a straight face.

According to the New York Times, New Knowledge is the firm that was hired to smear a Republican candidate Roy Moore in a 2017 runoff election by linking him to fake Russian social media identities. This is the original report on Roy Moore and the fake Russian trolls.

"We orchestrated an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet."
