What a proud day it was for Americans who were not happy with the election of Donald Trump. They turned out by the thousands on November 12, 2016 in front of Trump Tower in New York. Michael Moore, the dim-witted movie maker, was there charging that Trump was a puppet of the Russians. The only thing missing was Borat himself.
Turns out, however, that the protest was organized by Russian trolls in St Petersburg. This is the same bunch, 13 of whom were indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller just in the past few days.

Here is the deal. The nefarious Russians, who were holed up in some troll cellar in St Petersburg, were spreading bad stuff about Hillary before the election and bad stuff about Trump after the election. In reality, the conspiracy began back in 2014 according to the indictment. In fact, these trolls were infesting Facebook and Twitter playing Americans off against each other in a range of issues. The Obama Justice Department knew it was happening and did nothing about it.
"Some Defendants, posing as U.S. persons and without revealing their Russian association, communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities." (page 4)
That's interesting, especially in light of the fact that Dep. Atty General Rod Rosenstein, when announcing the indictments, stated that there was no allegation in the indictments that any US persons were involved.
How the Russians must be laughing at us.
Is Michael Moore a dope, or a dupe, or all of the above?!
