There are some folks on Twitter who are trying to restate this as “Russia had nothing to do with what happened IN Charlottesville”, only the aftermath.
That’s wrong. That’s not what @CNN is reporting - that Russian meddling contributed to the violence.

The Hill reminds us:
“The Wall Street Journal in October reported that Facebook groups with ties to Russia posted racially divisive messages ahead of Charlottesville”
Ahead of it. Russia encouraged the violence that happened, as CNN correctly reports. thehill.com/homenews/house…

You need not only propaganda, you need proximity, for violence to occur. What @RepTomGarrett is reporting the FBI told lawmakers reminds of the Russian hashtag #NotMyPresident used, in the Mueller indictment, to schedule pro- and anti- Trump rallies in NYC on the *same day*.
This is important for folks to take in, because #NotMyPresident was tricking Americans on the left, per Mueller’s indictment. I expect we will see Charlottesville indictments in due course and find Russian interference ahead of the rally baiting the right AND the left.
