1/ Here's a remarkable update to the reconstruction of the Russian 2016 election attack I wrote with @MarkMazzettiNYT two weeks ago: nytimes.com/interactive/20….
2/ Turns out that on December 19, 2016, the day the Electoral College confirmed Trump's victory, one of the Internet Research Agency troll accounts tweeted this:
@gab1aldana · 19 Dec 2016 #ThingsYouCantIgnore a Russian plant as your next #POTUS
@gab1aldana · 19 Dec 2016 #ThingsYouCantIgnore a Russian plant as your next #POTUS
3/ And according to the estimable @DarrenLinvill of Clemson University, it was then retweeted by 26 other Russian accounts that same day. Just one more cheeky in-your-face from the Russians who took sides in the US election.
