Searches on Google were skewered for the Dems - who let them pay zero in taxes.
The FBI is using taxpayer research to investigate who? Fox News? They weren't Trump fans.
Free Republic?
Trump was ridiculed mercilessly when he said he might question the election results. Now the MSM is questioning the results and the First Amendment.
They have really lost their minds.
Twitter would kill any pro-Trump tweet from trending.
Facebook deep sixed stories that were pro-Trump and highlighted Trump bashing.
Any of that worthy of investigation?
So no inquiry of Saudi or Muslim brotherhood influence with the Clinton Foundation? FBI is such a joke.
Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN should be charged with rigging the election with rigged debates.
They’re actually claiming that Russian bots worked with Info wars and Breitbart etc to push pro Trump stories which didn’t allow voters to read all the great anti Trump stories at CNN HuffPo Buzzfeed etc.
These people have gone totally insane.
This blows me away:
“This may be one of the most highly impactful information operations in the history of intelligence,” said one former U.S. intelligence official
Pure horse pucky. Total nonsense. Hell 50% of twitter is phony crap. Most of it Leftist. Paid Leftists.
This is aimed squarely at the Chans and to a lesser extent The_Donald.
I think the FBI’s budget is way too big if it can continue to investigate garbage like this. I think firing Comey would be a good place to start...
Still no plans to “probe” any FAR-LEFT sites though, huh? I don’t blame them. They’d probably pick up some bad STDs.
“. . . two people familiar with the inquiry say.”
The fake news leaks are back.
If Free Republic did not make the list I feel cheated!
Are these the same folks that told the New York Times that Trump was wiretapped?
This is getting really wacky, and it’s obvious the FBI plans to keep this going through 2018 and 2020. Now pro Trump internet stories are being treated as part of a Russian plot and so we are going to have those stories suppressed in the next election?
Using tax dollars to instigate a partisan witch-hunt.
No wonder the fake news media is cheering from the rafters.
Over a nothing-burger.
This whole Russian thing is a total snore.
What they are really mad at was that Russia decided to do their own lobbying rather than pay US lobbyists to do their spinning for them.
Search is your friend
Well said! They can’t understand how Trump won after there was coordinated effort on social media to squash pro-Trump information.
So, now they have to figure out how any of it got through? They have truly lost their minds.
McClatchy is not to be trusted. Always on the Left, now a conspiracy news service. Gee, they and Alex Jones have a lot in common.
This article is also an insult to the tens of millions of American citizens who made up their own minds that Obama was a traitorous SOB, Hillary was a crook, Benghazi incompetent and greedy sell-out to the Russians (uranium ore mine deal), and that the Democrats were the closest thing to a new Communist Party in recent American politics.
Bots, Trots, Trolls, Polls = Bullshit on a stick.
If the CIA and FBI were so great, they would have picked up on this “charge” of Russian interference years ago, say in 2008 with Obama’s original campaign and his communist advisors and supporters (Dr. Quentin Young, Bill Ayers, the Palmers, or even his older CP/Marxist contacts from the 60’s (Frank Marshall Davis, David Simon Canter, perhaps Don Rose and Saul Alinksy).
Soviet-directed propaganda was aimed at Barry Goldwater in his 1964 presidential nomination race, portraying him as a crazy nuclear-gun slinging cowboy who would start WW III.
The Soviets/Communists have ALWAYS interference in the elections of other nations, esp. Greece, Italy, France (the Communist Party of France was a KGB asset, period), Portugal, England (the Labor Party was full of Soviet assets, as was the Miners Union and the CND (funded by Moscow and its peace fronts).
W. German premier Willi Brandt’s personal secretary was a KGB/Stasi agent named Guillaume.
Members of our Senate Select Committee on Intelligence or one of a similar name had East German (American) agents on it. A Hanoi propagandist worked for two U.S. representatives and Sen. John F. Kerry before being exposed (several times). A topCuban sympathizer worked for Rep. George Miller (D-CA) and members of the CPUSA worked for Rep. George Crockett Jr and possibly old Mr. Red himself, Rep. John Conyers. Rep. Ron Dellums’ aide Carliotta Scott was his illegal conduit to Marxist dictator Maurice Bishop (she was also his lover according to captured letters found during the 1983 Grenada operation). The wife of the Cuban DGI leader on Grenada, Gail Reed, was an American communist prominent in the DGI/KGB-created/often trained Venceremos Brigade.
And Ted Kennedy had several contacts with KGB/CPUSA operations/fronts such as the “Congressional Conference on Cuba”, the 1983 letters to the Soviets via former dumbo Senator John Tunney (D-CA), and was on a Soviet “influence” list sent by the FBI to John Dean (It is reproduced en toto at www.keywiki.org, search for Ted Kennedy. It should be there with all the names of Soviet targets on that one listing.
If the Russian “interfered” in this past election, you have to ask “why” and in whose “favor”. It certainly wouldn’t have been Don Trump. While Hillary was a fool and an incompetent leader, she could have been the Russian’s “Fool and Incompetent” leader if elected.
She was ambitious, greedy, and blind to reality so she would have been the perfect Soviet/Russian dupe. The KGBSVB would run rings around her without her ever knowing it.
That is what needs to be looked into.
