“It’s hard for me to believe that the Russians, as good as they are, as sophisticated as they are, a program like this, were not able to get some Americans to cooperate with them, either wittingly or unwittingly,” said Brennan.

You mean like these Facebook nitwits?

Ex. 1: “Facebook says an estimated 10 million people in the U.S. saw at least one of the 3,000 political ads it says were bought by accounts linked to the Russian government.”

Ex. 2: “Fake Russian Facebook Accounts Bought $100,000 in Political Ads”

So what to do about Facebook? Was it wittingly?

"Ex. 2: “Fake Russian Facebook Accounts Bought $100,000 in Political Ads”"

Somebody crunched the numbers on this in an article I read this morning. Of that 100K, over 40K was spent on ads that ran AFTER the election. Of the remaining 60K, have was run on ads in non swing states. By the time he was done he showed that only about 22K was spend on ads in swing states during the campaign season. There is no way 22K in ads is going to make a dent in election results.

You see the game that is being played here? The Russians-ate-my-Coronation meme has run out of steam. Then Brennan pipes up with a statement that the Left will take as ‘evidence’ that it in fact happened, thus re-energizing the whackos over there.

Let’s see, they paid Billy Blowjob $500K to give a speech as a bribe to get U-1 approved. Oh yeah, and something a little shy of $200 million was contributed to the Clinton Foundation literally instantly before the U-1 deal was approved.

So when I take the number $100K and divide it by let’s say $175 million I get .05%.

I hope I’m not making the conclusion too obvious.
