And that's all it was was a quick buck scheme by the Russians exploiting Facebooks crummy operation. The Russian posts had zero to do with "influencing" the election. I defy anyone to make any coherent sense of what influence these ads could have had, especially when many of them ran *after* the election.
Mueller and his corrupt gang of Clinton supporters latched on the Russian ads and attempted to "repurpose" them as somehow pivotal in the election. $100K worth of junk ads on Facebook. Good grief, what a sham.
At some point about four months after the election....some university professor went and did a study. What he found was...the vast majority of people are unable to remember news stories that they read via social media. From what I read, the ‘stick-to-memory’ time is roughly three to five days. By the tenth day....most people don’t remember the story. So the value of news via social media is remarkably limited.
