Good to know. Compare all those millions the Clinton team spent.
Nowhere did it state that this represented the total amount invested by Russia in their influence scheme, tovarich.

Again you miss the inference...If the pittance could be so effective then the Clinton's team/backers with the millions at their disposal fucked up. And they had money!!

Again, you're comparing one line item in Russia's overall influence campaign with the total amount spent by Hillary. Apples and oranges, tovarich.

No, it is dollars and dollars. I am having fun. In reality the Facebook issue is BS. It is designed to excite Russophobes and provide headlines.

So you think the Facebook report that Russians bought that advertising is fake news?

I did not. So what your are saying is that Team Clinton should have found another authoritarian country (Malaysia perhaps?) to sabotage Trump's campaign thereby saving her campaign lots of money.

You are right, Hillary's campaign was indeed naive and stupid.

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has alerted the White House that his team will likely seek to interview six top current and former advisers to President Trump who were witnesses to several episodes relevant to the investigation of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the request.

Mueller’s interest in the aides, including trusted adviser Hope Hicks, ex-press secretary Sean Spicer and former chief of staff Reince Priebus, reflects how the probe that has dogged Trump’s presidency is starting to penetrate a closer circle of aides around the president.

Too bad this will be obscured by the ongoing news about hurricane Irma.
So with all due respect.

Washington (CNN) - Around the time presidential candidate Donald Trump was touting his real estate dealings at a Republican primary debate, a proposal was in the works to build a Trump Tower in Russia that would have given his company a $4 million upfront fee, no upfront costs, a percentage of the sales, and control over marketing and design. And that's not all: the deal included the opportunity to name the hotel spa after his daughter Ivanka.
