On Friday, Special Counsel Robert Mueller announced that a grand jury indicted 13 Russian nationals, along with 3 Russian entities, accused of “supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump … and disparaging Hillary Clinton.”
The indictment claims Russian operatives were working in St. Petersburg, Russia on a campaign to assist Donald Trump and disparage Hillary Clinton.
The Russians used Facebook and Twitter to carry out their nefarious acts.
Special Counsel Mueller even listed the events that were organized by Russian trolls to assist Donald Trump.
Yossi Gestetner pointed out the ridiculousness of Robert Mueller’s remarks.
The rallies for Donald Trump drew 31 people while the anti-Trump rallies drew THOUSANDS!
Russians tried organizing 8 rally days:
5 during the campaign; one FOR Hillary.
3 after the election; two AGAINST Trump.
The most successful election period rallies were in FL in August: 3 Rallies in one day with a total of 31 people… Other pro-Trump events did not happen. https://t.co/HhZBixqqTt

Steven MIntyre from Climate Audit compiled the research for the rally numbers.
The Mueller indictment listed eight marches promoted by Internet Research Agency, but didnt report attendance, which was zero or negligible for all events during election campaign. Thread on evidence on attendance. pic.twitter.com/m6qymC8whI

/ first two events: March for Trump, Jun 25, 2016 (NYC); Down with Hillary, Jul 23, 2016 (NYC). NY Post https://t.co/PstSVbLn6r … reported that "unclear ..if [rallies] held at all". Could not locate "written or photo evidence". pic.twitter.com/91g0EnTmJ2

3/ next event was "Support Hillary, Save American Muslims" scheduled for July 9, 2016 at White House. It was promoted by United Muslims of America (FB). I looked for any contemporary evidence, photos of supposed march and, as with NY marches, couldn't find any.

4/ Russian accounts promoted Florida Goes Trump rallies on Aug 20, 2016 in multiple Florida cities. Bellingcat did good survey of contemporary evidence for these rallies in Sept 2017, showing that they were paltry https://t.co/8l7azrxFjy

5/ Bellingcat located contemporary video showing that there were eight Trump supporters at Pensacola "rally" pic.twitter.com/Xv0cAGdqcN

16/ from comments at @MoonofA: pre-Mueller (Nov 16-Feb 17) articles on east European click-bait sites. More pro-Trump stories simply because they got more clicks https://t.co/OCi3ATkkCphttps://t.co/epjxcg4656https://t.co/6TkcGafbu3https://t.co/Sv2VREXdW0
