So a company that warned us back in 2016 that Russia was using bots to put pro-Trump info online was later caught creating fake Russian bots to spread pro-Republican online messages in a way that would harm Republicans and look like Russia was trying to sway it for the GOP.

Not really shocking.

It's the same old story. If you want to know what corrupt, illegal, dirty tricks the Democrats are pulling-listen to what they are accusing Republicans of. Paying foreign operatives to influence a US presidential election? Check (Steele Dossier). Rigging an election? Check (see debate questions handed to Clinton to beat Sanders). Using the power of the government to influence an election? Check (IRS scandal, Comey, Struczk). It goes on.
