They're at it again. Not content with installing a spy as President of the United States, the Kremlin has unleashed an army of cyber bots to further subvert American democracy.
According to Senator Dianne Fienstein and Representative Adam Schiff, Russian bots are behind the exploding popularity of the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo, which asks for evidence detailing top level FBI and Democrat Party corruption to be made public.
In a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook Supremo Mark Zuckerberg, Fienstein and Schiff accuse the Russian bots of attempting to "intervene and influence our democratic process."
“If these reports are accurate, we are witnessing an ongoing attack by the Russian government through Kremlin-linked social media actors directly acting to intervene and influence our democratic process... Public reports indicate that accounts linked to the Russian government are again exploiting Twitter and Facebook platforms in an effort to manipulate public opinion."
This, they write to the tech titans "should be disconcerting to all Americans."
Hold on. The reason why #ReleaseTheMemo is trending across social media is because the Russians and their dreaded bots did it? Or because Americans want to know if the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Hillary campaign and the Democrat party worked together in an illegal attempt to bring down an incoming President.
There's obviously nothing disconcerting about that at all, or the missing 50,000 texts or the secret society. No, no ordinary person would want to know anything about any of this, and I don't know about you but we're clearly Russian bots, here at the compound.
