Have they arrested the culprits who organized that big July 2016 meeting in Cleveland that intended to influence the 2016 election?

Two years and $ tens of millions, and nobody will answer when “what is meddling? “ I mean meddling is Craig Livingstone in a chicken suit. Meddling is the DNC filing a federal court case that the DNC can decide their nominee, and not the voting results of their voters.

17 profiles that were part of the conspiracy with over 290,000 total followers

Quick search yield the following: As of the second quarter of 2018, Facebook had 2.23 billion monthly active users

Let's do some math!

17/2,300,000.000 = 0.0000000073913

290,000/ 2,300,000,000 = 0.0001260

Not significant to me, but I took my mathematics class prior to common core

They are using the word “meddle.” They associated that word with the “Russia investigation,” so now, they know that we will think what they want us to think: “Russia colluded.”

Now anything positive about Trump will be labeled Russian intervention.

It is NOT hard to open up a bunch of fake Fascistbook accounts at all.

Any script kiddie can do it, anyone with basic knowledge of sending automated keystrokes using input files can do it, anyone with screen recording & screen playback through a browser can do it and those are three methods I named in 10 seconds. There's more.

Fascistbook cannot stop fake accounts. I have a dozen or more of them that they never found and never will. I use them for social media monitoring. Good luck Fascistbook.

What chills me is that so many people “in the middle” who aren’t political just seem to take it as a given that there is “meddling”, have no idea what that “meddling” is, but accept the premises that it is going on and Russia is doing it. Somehow. By clicking things on webpages or something.

Probably just a pilot program testing ways to shut down conservative sites everywhere on the web. Think of the Big Four wireless companies refusing to list public phone numbers for any group or person identified as conservative by software.

I did do a search as always. Did not see that it was posted already.

D.N.C.

If it were the DNC, Facebook wouldn't have mentioned it, nor deleted them.

Let’s not forget the enormous Mexican illegals influence which we see every day in every Democrat statement.

I am wondering when did Facebook assume the responsibility of going after election meddling? Is this like an internet version of the neighborhood watch? Are they working for the Special Counsel now? That might explain Mueller’s outrages billing...
