“A number of Russian-linked Facebook ads specifically targeted Michigan and Wisconsin, two states crucial to Donald Trump’s victory last November,” CNN reports.

“Some of the Russian ads appeared highly sophisticated in their targeting of key demographic groups in areas of the states that turned out to be pivotal… The ads employed a series of divisive messages aimed at breaking through the clutter of campaign ads online, including promoting anti-Muslim messages.”

“As part of their investigations, both special counsel Robert Mueller and congressional committees are seeking to determine whether the Russians received any help from Trump associates in where to target the ads.”

1. For Christmas, I want evidence linking Robert Spencer and his Cambridge Analytica

to Russian and other illegal interference, please.

From NY Time's "Facebook’s Russia-Linked Ads Came in Many Disguises," a sample Facebook ad.

2. Drip Drip Drip ! ... I am waiting for information when Dotard attended these meetings

3. Or ordered others to attend, listened in, had requested reports on, etc.

Yes, that would be a very nice gift also, of course.

But imo it's far more important to take down the kochster stypes who used him to grab power and imagine they'll keep it long after they discard him. Best guess the Kochs have been too cautious to get involved without a pack of cut-outs, but Robert Spencer's a nutty and arrogant enough creep that just maybe he exposed himself. And Pence while we're at it.

4. Finally get to see one of the ads.Look at the stilted awkward language

"forcing them saying"

That's not even freeper bad grammar.

5. K&R! I can't wait until we learn more about those "highly sophisticated" methods to target Michigan

Wisconsin.

6. "Like if you outraged" repeated in ad after ad

Even rural cheese heads don't talk this bad

The grammatical structure of these ads, it's like you can hear the Slavic accent

7. Now we wait for Mueller to find out who provided the Russians with all that info

that was so "highly sophisticated in their targeting of key demographic groups in areas of the states that turned out to be pivotal".
