On the same day we heard a Senate report about Russian Troll farms still hammering away on American social media, we find out this evening that Russian trolls are now working to spread fake news about Bob Mueller to discredit him.

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.

This isn't new. They've been fueling misinformation garbage/pure crap for a few years now (even before Trump).

Great resource to see the latest Russian Troll Farm nonsense: https://dashboard.securingdemocracy.org/

Along with the Hill and WaPo which, these people seem to believe without question or thought. The Russians only wish they had this kind of influence.

Whether they're influential is one thing - but it's clear what's happening. You can literally watch the information in real time.

Mueller is fundamentally dishonest- 19000 messages had to be recovered by DOJ that Mueller did not hand over. The investigation has been an incredible failure; it's sole purpose seems to be just keep the entrenched interests in power.

But it did not attribute the missing texts to malicious intent on behalf of the two but rather a technology failure by the FBI’s tool meant to sweep up text messages, according to a new report.
