Uh oh. I think I just saw the legitimacy of the DNC go from being already a steaming pile of crap to a pile of diarreah. If this gains any traction, the donald will be in office for a good long while.
HAHAHHAAAHAHAHAHAH
Enjoy the fame liberals and democrats. You earned it.
The flood of “fake news” this election season got support from a sophisticated Russian propaganda campaign that created and spread misleading articles online with the goal of punishing Democrat Hillary Clinton, helping Republican Donald Trump and undermining faith in American democracy, say independent researchers who tracked the operation.
WASHINGTON ― Last June, John Mattes started noticing something coursing like a virus through the Facebook page he helped administer for Bernie Sanders fans in San Diego.
People with no apparent ties to California were friending the page and sharing links from unfamiliar sites full of anti-Hillary Clinton propaganda. The stories they posted weren’t the normal complaints he was used to seeing as the Vermont senator and the former secretary of state fought out the Democratic presidential primary.
These stories alleged that Clinton had murdered her political opponents and used body doubles. Mattes, 66, had been a television reporter and Senate investigator in previous lives.
He put his expertise in unmasking fraudsters to work. At first, he suspected that the sites were created by the old Clinton haters from the ‘90s ― what Hillary Clinton had dubbed “the vast right-wing conspiracy.” But when Mattes started tracking down the sites’ domain registrations, the trail led to Macedonia and Albania.
The first tidal wave of spam was mostly anti-Bernie, Pearce recalled, posted by Clinton backers. (David Brock’s Clinton-backing super PAC had likely paid for some portion of those.) But after Clinton became the Democratic nominee in July, Pearce noticed a switch to anti-Hillary messages with links to fake news and to real news with obnoxious pop-up ads. “Every site publishing those ― you clicked on the article, you would be slammed with ads and strange articles,” Pearce told HuffPost. “It was overwhelming. It was 24/7.”
She kept a list of fake news sites to watch for ― it grew into dozens. There were posts on the Clinton-has-Parkinson’s conspiracy and the Clinton-is-running-a-pedophilia-ring-out-of-a-pizza-shop conspiracy.

How ignorant can you be? trump has been on a down hill spiral since day one! Hey how's that wall working out for you Mexico is supposed to pay for?
There was no "wiretap" trump said 4 times he was wiretaped! He also said during those stupid tweets, HE "just found out". Now it was 3am when he tweeted that, so who was he talking to at 3am that informed him of that???
Let me inform you, it was him, and himself!
Won't be long before he is gone!
So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia," she said. "So then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were trying to also help get information to the Hill."

Actually, I believe she was working for the Clinton campaign, so it would seem this confirms that Obama was working with Hillary (passing intel) throughout the campaign.
The lady made a statement that all available information on the Trump operatives connections to Russian agents was reported to Congress in the last days of the Obama Administration to make certain that it wasn't covered up.
Seems like they leaked it to antiTrump people like oh maybe McCain Lindsay graham Rubio and Ryan.....

No, actually it doesn't seem that way at all.
