Russian bots are busy at work promoting the GOP’s latest attempt to discredit the investigation looking into whether Trump colluded with the Russian government to sway the 2016 election.
According the website Hamilton 68, which tracks the Twitter activity of propaganda accounts and bots linked to Russia, the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo was tweeted 3,916 times on Friday, compared to just 23 times the day before. At the time of this writing, it had been shared 1,233 times on Saturday.
It’s currently the top trend among the Russian-linked accounts monitored by Hamilton 68 — #SchumerShutdown and #Obamagate come in at numbers two and three respectively.
The memo referred to in the hashtag is the document written by Republican staffers, in which they claim to have evidence that the FBI has abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in their efforts to investigate the Trump campaign’s connections to Russian interference efforts.
