Following Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three entities behind a Russian “troll farm” said to have meddled in the 2016 U.S. election (admittedly, with zero impact), two people familiar with both the ads purchased by Russians on Facebook, and the “troll farm” in question have refuted Mueller’s narrative over the course of four days. Indeed, things don’t seem to be going well for the Russia investigation, which started out with serious claims of Collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, and has been reduced to CNN diving through the garbage of a Russian troll farm.
About that troll farm…
Adrian Chen, staff writer for The New Yorker – who first profiled the indicted Russian troll farm in 2015, sat down with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, where he proceeded to deflate Mueller’s big scary indictment to nothing.
“Tried to tamp down the troll farm panic on @chrislhayes show last night,” Adrian Chen tweeted. “It’s 90 people with a shaky grasp of English and a rudimentary understanding of U.S. politics shitposting on Facebook.“

OMG, a sober/informed Russia take on MSNBC! @AdrianChen , who profiled indicted Russian troll farm in 2015, tells @chrislhayes that what other MSNBC guests have compared to Pearl Harbor "is essentially a social media marketing campaign" and maybe not worthy of a national freakout pic.twitter.com/UkUaK2XRPe

Chen then responded to a tweet saying the IRA has 300-400 individuals. “That was the entire Internet Research Agency,” Chen wrote.” The American department had ~90 people, according to the Russian journalists who did the most in-depth investigation.”
Chen links to a Washington Post article which profiles Russian journalists who also investigated said troll farm.

At approximately 9:05 a.m. Tuesday morning, the House Democratic Committee chairs involved in the phony impeachment railroad against President Donald Trump glumly took their places at the podium after being introduced by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Glumly, because they had all been told to look seriously, and as the Speaker Pelosi endlessly says, “prayerfully” glum –as if they were some Congressional form of decorticated Cigar Store Indians. Trying to force a seriousness and depth upon words which were otherwise bizarre and crazy, they announced two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump. The articles, one for abuse of power and the other for obstruction of Congress, will now be forwarded to the full Judiciary Committee for a vote, this week, and then to the full House for a vote, they say, before Christmas.
