Mueller obtains search warrant to find out who bought russian-linked ads on facebook

Special counsel Robert Mueller and his team are now in possession of Russian-linked ads run on Facebook during the presidential election, after they obtained a search warrant for the information.
Facebook gave Mueller and his team copies of ads and related information it discovered on its site linked to a Russian troll farm, as well as detailed information about the accounts that bought the ads and the way the ads were targeted at American Facebook users, a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN.
The disclosure, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, may give Mueller's office a fuller picture of who was behind the ad buys and how the ads may have influenced voter sentiment during the 2016 election.
Facebook did not give copies of the ads to members of the Senate and House intelligence committees when it met with them last week on the grounds that doing so would violate their privacy policy, sources with knowledge of the briefings said. Facebook's policy states that, in accordance with the federal Stored Communications Act, it can only turn over the stored contents of an account in response to a search warrant.
Facebook Gave Special Counsel Robert Mueller More Details on Russian Ad Buys Than Congress

There is a reason there have been no leaks on the content of the ads.

Shouldn't Facebook be held responsible for colluding with the Russians for money?

What does Facebook know and when did they know it?

The "bombshells" keep getting smaller. This one isn't even an M80.

If Vladimir Putin paid for them out of pocket and said paid political ad by Putin so far as I know there's nothing illegal about it.
Give it UP Mueller, there was NO crime here.

So we've gone from "hacking" the election and "collusion" to fricking Facebook memes and fake news.
This is the biggest nothing burger in human history.

Meanwhile the Boston Globe published a fake April Fools edition bashing a would-be President Trump in order to influence voters.

Who else thinks Mueller is just playing cornhole during this whole "investigation" until he fills the quota?

Honestly who cares either way? Is it illegal for either party to purchase ads through a Russian owned company to put on Facebook? That would be grasping at straws if you're claiming their is collusion with Russia.
Collusion would imply organizing illegal backchannels with Russian govt officials and hacking into sensitive info or other illegal activities

Meuller is essentially doing Opposition Research for the Dem Party/Deep State/GOPe; and doing so in order to hobble Trump's 'drain the swamp' agenda/Nationalist economic policy. Bannon spoke truth while going out the door.
While none of Meuller's *findings* will undermine Trump's Base support...it WILL give GOPe RINOS (McCain, Graham, etc.) some *legitimacy* in opposing Trump/Trump Policy.
Will Fusion GPS enter the conspiratorial dance? Susan Rice and "Obama wiretapped me"....nahhhttt! I can't wait to see Meuller come out on that Stage with that Comey-eqsue *I'm honest* look...and crap his pants with half truth/cya blather for the love of America.
Oh well...even Lucifer thought that the praise of 2/3 of the populous was worth lying and going to hell for it....so...no surprise.
Freedom rocks. Hard to get...harder to hold.

Facebook doing business with the Russians
Zuckerberg needs to be investigated by the DOJ and SEC. Is he selling information on Americans to Vlad?

Mueller is auditioning for a spot on the next season of myth busters. If he finds enough random shite, maybe they will give him a beret.
