Congress releases all 3,000 + Russian FB ads, most of which helped Trump get elected

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee released more than 3,000 Facebook ads bought by Russian trolls, from 2015 to late 2017. Russia's Internet Research Agency was behind tens of thousands of posts on Facebook designed to create political chaos and hurt U.S. democracy, lawmakers said.
Congress gave a preview of Russian-sponsored trolling posts on Facebook during a hearing last November. On Thursday morning, it released every single purchased ad.
"The only way we can begin to inoculate ourselves against a future attack is to see first-hand the types of messages, themes and imagery the Russians used to divide us," Rep. Adam Schiff, a ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee and a Democrat from California, said in a statement.
These ads were heavily promoted during the 2016 election, with Russian trolls seeking to sow chaos.
The most common ads throughout 2016 heavily promoted Trump and sought to hurt Clinton's campaign. The sponsored posts called for people to go to rallies, while articles posted by groups like "Born Liberal" would support Sanders.
One promoted post by the Blacktivist group, for instance, called for a flash mob with the hashtag #HillaryClintonForPrison2016.

You didn't mention this:
Hi hack!

Russian trolls would set up events like anti-Trump protests or pro-Muslim rallies, and promote them on Facebook. In some scenarios, they would set up both the protest and the counterprotest, hoping the confrontation would lead to conflict in real life.

These ads pretended to be a part of the Black Lives Matter movement, with images the committee called "pernicious and disturbing." The goal was to intensify racial tensions during the US election in 2016.

The IRA posted ads as pages like LGBT United, with content such as a "Buff Bernie" coloring book. The page also organized counter-protests.

So maybe they just hated Hillary, and had nothing to do with colluding with Trump?
An attorney having just passed the bar, could easily get this case tossed
