Crime Is Flynn Cohen to Prison? (SCO Thread v. 26)

[7437]

I thought we were investigating Russian activity on the interwebz. Sounds like we found some. Turns out it was a false flag though.

the word russia doesnt appear a single time. generally in a false flag you pretend to be someone else. Thats kinda the whole point.

or........ you knoew that and are trying to deflect really poorly.

Hoffman said the “most disturbing aspect” of the NYT report was the group creating fake Twitter accounts, doctored with Russian-sounding names, to follow Moore in a “false flag” attempt to discredit him. Hoffman — who said he was “embarrassed” by his “failure to track AET” — added “I do have an apology to make and have learned a lesson here.”

Literally the "I didn't know I couldn't do that" defense.

What?

 

[7437]

What?

what does this have to do with the Mueller investigation?

Im not sure how to be more clear than that. It doesnt involve russians, or the presidential election, or any of the people involved in the investigation, or any government officials at all.

The truth is these guys aren’t very bright.

I'm not sure how to explain how a false flag for the very thing Mueller is investigating is relavent. It seems self explanatory.

I have a question for those who are really worried about Trump's violation of the law.

Why does the US's illegal presence in Syria not concern you in the same way?

How do you know it doesn't, and they're not related, what about

Who cares, Russia is better than the US and Putin's balls taste so fucking good

LinkedIn Co-Founder Apologizes for Funding Misinformation Campaign Against Roy Moore

Reid Hoffman says attempt to dissuade Alabama voters with phony Facebook and Twitter accounts was "disturbing"
Sean Burch | December 26, 2018 @ 3:38 PM

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman apologized Wednesday for financing a group tied to a misinformation campaign on Facebook and Twitter during the 2017 Alabama Senate race.

In a post on Medium, Hoffman denied knowing American Engagement Technologies, the group he was funding, was leading a digital campaign to dissuade Alabama conservatives from voting for Republican nominee Roy Moore, who was accused of sexual misconduct by several women during the race.

AET stealthily financed a project where phony Facebook users pretended to convince fellow conservatives to not vote for Moore, according to The New York Times last week.

“I categorically disavow the use of misinformation to sway an election,” Hoffman wrote. “In fact, I have deliberately funded multiple organizations trying to re-establish civic, truth-focused discourse in the US. I would not have knowingly funded a project planning to use such tactics, and would have refused to invest in any organization that I knew might conduct such a project.”


Hoffman said the “most disturbing aspect” of the NYT report was the group creating fake Twitter accounts, doctored with Russian-sounding names, to follow Moore in a “false flag” attempt to discredit him. Hoffman — who said he was “embarrassed” by his “failure to track AET” — added “I do have an apology to make and have learned a lesson here.”

A rep for Moore did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.


The Times’ report shined a light on how American political groups are leveraging tactics used by Russian trolls during the 2016 presidential election to target their adversaries. The Internet Research Agency, a Kremlin-tied troll network, has looked to manipulate credulous Instagram and Facebook users with bogus memes and news stories.

AET is led by Mikey Dickerson, a former Obama administration official who worked to ramp up the federal government’s adoption of new technology. Dickerson did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s for comment. He’s declined comment to The Times and The Washington Post.

Hoffman, who has become a billionaire behind several shrewd Silicon Valley investments, gave $750,000 to AET, according to WaPo. In response to Donald Trump’s election win in 2016, Hoffman said in his blog post he’s since invested in dozens of organizations aiming to “accelerate positive change.” He said he’ll pay closer attention to where his money is going in the future

Lol, couldn't make that shit up.

I think you missed the part where it's only bad if Russia does it

Although I will say that likely the only way to combat these anonymous disinformation campaigns using fake accounts is to require identification to open a social media account, among other strict regulation for social media sites.

I still remember when Michael Cohen posted a photo of his closed passport as some kind of defense about the Prague issue.

So your turn. If I'm investigating Russia stealing cakes, and stumble across American oligarchs pretending to be Russians stealing cakes, you don't think that is relavent to the conversation?

If a judge finds a 'fine' amount not sufficiently compelling to get the required result they can either up the fine amount or order large confiscations or assets and accounts that reside in the US or within US reach.
