Here's one of the problems with The Gizmo, which has never proven these Twitter accounts ARE Russian. It utterly mistakes the problem. Many of these accounts are simply far right propaganda, and often the far right propaganda drives "Kremlin" propaganda. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/russia-never-stopped-its-cyberattacks-on-the-united-states/2017/12/25/83076f2e-e676-11e7-a65d-1ac0fd7f097e_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.766aaa5092cc …pic.twitter.com/i2VfiYMJSm

Hell, arguably,
@RepMikeRogers has been part of the same far right propaganda network, tho on issues some in the IC would agree with. If far right propaganda is fine for Rogers to engage in why not Breitbart's trolls?Show this thread -
And call me crazy: I'm FAR more worried abt FoxNews' accusations of an FBI coup than some RU-backed Twitter accounts that don't get anywhere near the viewership/retention.

Not to mention the fact that The Gizmo fosters cognitive rot in the vast majority of the people who refer to it, bc they don't understand what The Gizmo is.
