1/ No RIOT report today, but a couple of quick observations. First, Eva Bartlett has apparently been ToS'd by Facebook, and relocated to VK. The URL of her VK account was among this morning's Top URLs at #Hamilton68
2/ So, it isn't just nazis who find refuge on the FSB's premier social networking platform.
For those not familiar with Bartlett, this love letter to North Korea is a good introduction. It was among the ToP URLs on/about Sept 26 of this year.
3/ Among other Top URLs - nestled between WSJ asking "Is CNN Protecting Adam Schiff" & RT/Ruptly's coverage of Putin's presser - is this lame attempt at a hit piece vs StandUpRepublic & Evan McMullin. They're backed by "The Persian" <- to be read w/South Park inflection
4/ The article is really just a barely chewed then regurgitated copy of a similar piece at DailyCaller, but it worked for the Kremlin's minions on Twitter, so who can argue w/that.

Following up on a post from earlier in the week, I took another look at well-connected now-arrested Kremlin agent Maria Butina's well-connected Facebook friends. aktivnyye.com/t/20180915-but…
Persistent themes include ties to GRU assets, appearances on the News Front disinfo channel, ties to Dugin and the Eurasian movement, and ties to Kremlin subversion in the West, in addition to ties to people close to Putin.
@page88 Okay, I finally found time to listen to the podcast. As your guest said, it's certainly possible Trump was a CHS, which is pretty much what I say too. So that's validating (for me). But that doesn't get us any closer to knowing if, in fact, people covered for Trump.
My own knowledge and experience with the CHS system is that it can be abused. It would take two agents and perhaps a Special Agent in Charge who at a minimum was willing to not look to closely.
The person at an FBI office most likely to notice something weird would be the accountant, and if Trump as a CHS was not being paid anything, that would take the accountant out of the picture.
