Russian twitter bots - Broward County - Rodger Stone


Russian-linked Twitter accounts on Nov. 2, well into the state’s early-voting period, blasted out a tweet saying voter fraud was occurring because “tens of thousands of ineligible mail in Hillary voters are being reported in Broward County, Florida.”

Broward County is home to the biggest concentration of registered Democrats in the state.

Made False Voter Fraud Claims
In the summer of 2016, the defendants, the indictment said, "began to promote allegations of voter fraud by the Democratic Party through their fictitious U.S. personas and groups on social media." They claimed Clinton committed voter fraud during the Iowa caucuses, were being investigated for voter fraud in North Carolina and tried to use fraudulent "mail in Hillary votes" in Broward County, Florida.

excerpt-
Stone helped get Broward Sheriff Israel elected. And now, Stone has the sheriff's ear.

When Israel took the sheriff's helm in early 2013, in the first five months he added to BSO's payroll Stone's book-writing partner, Stone's book publicist and Stone's long-time executive assistant. He had Stone's stepson transferred to detective, though it was early in his career, with just two years at the Sheriff's Office.

Stone's connections to BSO reach higher. His longtime friend Ron Gunzburger, who connected him with Sheriff Israel in the first place, is the agency's general counsel.

Stone is known for dredging up titillating tidbits from a candidate's past and presenting it in the worst possible light. He's been known to infiltrate an opponent's campaign, and to distort the truth in misleading robocalls to voters, with fake caller ID labels.

But Israel said he has no criticisms of Stone's negative campaign tactics, even those used against him.

Israel said it's clear Stone is effective. When Stone was against him, he lost. When Stone was on his side, he won.

"For him to be on my side," Israel said, "I'm very fortunate."







Something very strange is going on.

Uniform is freshly Ironed and his tie is perfectly tied,notice the four gold stars on his collar are precisely spaced. And he knows where the Camera is. Just like our so called Resident in the White House. Stone trained this Guy perfectly.


Was any of those BSO's mentioned on scene at this High School?

Why would the sheriff’s office put Stone’s employees on the payroll?

Fishy.
