LANGUAGE WARNING - Loads of F-bombs and other cursing.
It's an awesome dissection in spite of the language.
The Mueller Indictments Are A F**king Joke & It's Dangerous [Web Exclusive] (15:09)
The first three minutes is enough but the dissection continues to the end.
FakeNewsMSM almost entirely ignored this particular tweet by Facebook’s VP of advertising Rob Goldman:
16 Feb: Twitter: Rob Goldman(Facebook)
The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. ***We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election.
however, FakeNewsMSM began a campaign to smear Goldman:

and now Wired has this!!!
19 Feb: Wired: A Facebook Executive Apologizes To His Company — And To Robert Mueller
by Nicholas Thompson
But then, roughly eight hours after the indictment appeared online, Rob Goldman, a VP for ads for Facebook, decided he had a few points to add to the debate. He was just freelancing, and had not cleared his thoughts with either Facebook’s communications team or its senior management.
TWEETS including: The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election...
Facebook has been praised, notably by Digiday, for letting its executives sound off on Twitter, and Goldman had previously partaken of those privileges several times...
Goldman is far from the most prominent Facebook executive on Twitter, though. He had only 1600 followers, at the time, and his tweets didn’t draw much action on Friday evening...
He had made, however, two big errors—one of which was obvious and one of which was a bit subtle. The obvious error was asserting that one could understand the scope of the Russian propaganda campaign just through the ads....ETC
By the time Facebook executives went to sleep that evening, they had heard about the tweets, but they weren’t particularly worried. One of Facebook’s more senior executives, a VP named Andrew Bosworth, even gave the thread a little boost, retweeting it and noting “Important thread here.”
The tweetstorm started to spread in the early hours of Saturday. It caught the attention of the president of Pro Publica, one of the organizations that has been most critical of Facebook’s advertising practice. The former deputy communications director of the Clinton campaign noted it too.
And then, the message caught the attention of America’s Tweeter in Chief. And so on Saturday, right about when Facebook’s executives would have been sitting down for lunch, @realdonaldtrump decided that he wanted to introduce his 48 million followers to Rob Goldman... TWEETS
That’s when, according to executives at the company, Facebook realized it was holding a sh*t sandwich. It’s also when the company realized Goldman’s more subtle error: He had made it look like his company was repudiating the work of Robert Mueller...
Facebook has long had a vexed relationship with Donald Trump. It’s based in Silicon Valley, and most of the executives and employees are liberal Democrats...
He (Rob Goldman) now has 10,500 Twitter followers, but a few fewer friends at work...
At its core, Goldman’s mistake was a familiar one for Silicon Valley: An executive really smart at one thing seemed to think he was really smart at another thing...
On Monday, I spoke with a Facebook executive familiar with the company’s cooperation with Mueller and asked which of the three hypotheses was closest to the truth, based on all the data Facebook has. “I don’t think anyone at Facebook can say definitely one way or another,” they answered. “We are a tech company. Why would have the answer? I wouldn’t trust us if we said we did.”
Later that day, Rob Goldman seemed to come to the same understanding, and posted internally at Facebook a message that read as follows: “I wanted to apologize for having tweeted my own view about Russian interference without having it reviewed by anyone internally. The tweets were my own personal view and not Facebook’s. I conveyed my view poorly. The Special Counsel has far more information about what happened [than] I do—so seeming to contradict his statements was a serious mistake on my part...ETC ETC

Do you get the idea that this fellow “is hot under the collar with the BS that Muller and gang are trying to pull over on the American public”?
I had 20+ years in the Navy so the language sort of falls off my back like water, but, you were very right to warn others with “more sensitive ears”!
Well worth the 15 minutes to watch/listen. Thanks.
