“… The goal of the operation, according to prosecutors, was to fuel pro-Russian narratives, in part, by pushing content and news articles favoring Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and others who the Kremlin deemed to be friendlier to its interests.

… At Russian President Vladimir Putin’s direction, three Russian companies used fake profiles to promote false narratives on social media, US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement. Internal documents produced by one of those Russian companies show one of the goals of the propaganda effort was to boost the candidacy of Trump or whoever emerged as the Republican nominee for president, according to an FBI affidavit. …”

Much has been made of the desire for board members with different perspectives to engage in healthy discussion and debate regarding substantive issues...

I would be very interested in HY and doug sharing their opinions about this.

He is one of the primary sources of disinformation, either directly or via "just asking questions".
