SCOOP w/@kevinroose: Facebook is preparing to announce that it has identified a coordinated political influence campaign, with dozens of inauthentic accounts and pages that are believed to be engaging in political activity ahead of Nov.

nytimes.com/2018/07/31/us/…
@kevinroose FB has been unable to tie the accounts to Russia but company officials told Capitol Hill that Russia was possibly involved.

The company is not expected to name Russia in its announcement.
@kevinroose Facebook discovered coordinated activity around issues like a sequel to last year’s deadly “Unite the Right” white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. Coordinated activity was also detected around #AbolishICE
@kevinroose MORE: Facebook is expected to announce its findings on Tuesday afternoon. The company has been working with the F.B.I. to investigate the activity.

McCain: “President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin."
"He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world."
Strongest words so far: “No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant."

Corker: “I just felt like the president’s comments made us look like as a nation more like a push-over.”
“Putin only understands strength. And I did not believe this was a good moment for our country.”
Corker says there is now question Putin interfered. “I just don’t know what it is about the president that continues to deny that occurred.”
