Cyber expert drops Senate intel bombshell: Russia targets Trump with fake news because he’ll repeat it

A cybersecurity expert testified that Russian “bots” pushed their disinformation campaigns during times when President Donald Trump was likely to be on social media — and he dutifully hyped those conspiracy theories........

.......“I can tell you right now, today, that gray outlets, that are Soviet-pushing accounts, tweet at President Trump during high volumes when they know he’s online, and they push conspiracy theories,” Watts testified.


He explained that Russia planned the operation more than a year in advance and targeted specific groups of voters — both likely Trump supporters and Bernie Sanders voters — in swing states with anti-Clinton propaganda......

Interesting stuff.

Have to wonder if Trump even gets the same news as the rest of us.

Sure would explain a lot if he didn't.

Your thoughts or comments ?

His rhetoric certainly makes the case.

This could only be true if the MSM publishes the fake stories.

Who is working with who here?

No, that's not the only reason why it could be true.

You do realize that even if true it shows there was no collusion between Trump and the Russians, right?

They must be figuring out a way to target his supporters as well, because talking to them here makes me think they're coming from a parallel Earth.

Really? How does Russia get the fake news stories in front of Trump?

Please explain the process if the MSM is not complicit.

I don't see collusion. Russia could have just been taking advantage of the fact that Trump is an easily manipulated moron.

With the amount of bull**** stories about Trump that have failed to launch over the last several months from major news outlets it would seem you run the risk of spreading bull**** and looking stupid whether you quote Pravda, the New York Times or The Raw Story. :lol:

I mean.. this story could also blow up in your face.

LOL what about this could blow up in anyones face except President Trump and his loyal cultists?

This is fascinating. I hadn't considered the possibility that President Trump was unaware that he's a Russian puppet. This adds a whole new level to his gross incompetence and inability to lead.

All the fake news targeting the easily manipulated morons, I believe, is a BIG reason Trump was elected to begin with.

I mean, face it. You know what it's like trying to reason with a Trumpeteer.

Communist propaganda is a BIGLY reason we are in the quagmire we currently find ourselves in. People wanting to believe it, did.

No. I am quite confident Trump is an idiot. My only question is. Which is worse, someone voting for an idiot or them not knowing that they voted for an idiot?

We should be more concerned with Trump's confusion than any collusion.

This entire thread is based on an offensive lie, take it down. Every example that partizen weasel gave was all over the independent media. Just because the Corporate Crony Capitalist MSM don't report or downplay it doesn't mean it's untrue.

The so called news reports from Russia were 2014 RTV documentaries that the Russians themselves had not aired since.

For at least a year Democrat operatives within the intelligence agencies have been desperately investigating and surveillancing the Trump Campaign. The absolute only wrongdoing or criminal activity discovered was against the Trump campaign not by them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b43jh_lRy_k

We should be more concerned with the confusion without the fourth estate since they are supposed to be the ones informing us about our leadership.

I don't know if Trump is a moron - rather - I think he uses and pushes conspiracy theories to cloud the truth and to distract of problems or issues within his administration.

He is mentally lazy, he doesn't know what's really going on. That's why he is so easily manipulated. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth so he doesn't actually know how the real world works, he never met actual resistance before in his life.

Remember seeing him, sitting next to Merkel? He looked like he actually crapped his pants.
