For instance, this story makes a big deal about a (post-election) Russian social media disinformation campaign on Bob Mueller based on... 5,000 tweets? That's **nothing**. Platform-wide, there are something like 500,000,000 tweets posted each day. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/business/technology/russian-disinformation-teams-targeted-robert-s-mueller-iii-says-report-prepared-for-senate/2018/12/17/0e0047f6-0230-11e9-8186-4ec26a485713_story.html?utm_term=.c8c3515a6838&__twitter_impression=true …pic.twitter.com/I2XOIf0rdy

I couldn't agree more. Isn't it time for Nate to start predicting probabilities for the Golden Globes or something?
The margin of victory was similarly low. Why confuse people?
you would need deep cooperation from social media companies and intel investigators to answer that, and both have been less than forthcoming/forthright on tge subject
Putin has gotten to pretty much everyone except a core group of Hillary supporters, establishment media and the intel agencies.
