Russians Still Doing Work

The HPSCI just released information about new Twitter trolls connected to Russia. From the WSJ:
It goes on to describe some of the tweets:
Oh and this:
Jack
The Dems release this info in an obvious attempt to take attention away from the OIG report. The problem is that it turns out some of the Russian accounts were spreading ANTI-Trump propaganda. BTW, Mueller's indictments also outlined a lot of anti-Trump Russian social media activity which the MSM ignored.

The new tranche of about 1,100 account names, released Monday by Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, brings the total number of publicly known Russian troll farm-operated accounts to more than 3,800. Last month, the Journal reported that the identities of many of the Russian accounts had not been publicly revealed.
It goes on to describe some of the tweets:

For instance, KaniJJackson, which featured #Impeach45, #Resist and #GunReformNow in its profile, and had more than 33,000 followers, posted several messages about Roseanne Barr, whose ABC sitcom was canceled last month after the star sent a racist tweet about an aide of former President Barack Obama. “Has Trump congratulated Roseanne on her tweets yet ?,” the account wrote on May 29. Minutes later, it wrote: “I wonder if Trump now plans to nominate Roseanne Barr fo Fed chair.”
The account wokelisa, which had more than 55,000 followers, repeatedly tweeted about the controversy over certain NFL players kneeling during the national anthem. Last September it wrote: “Trying to figure out how #TakeAKnee is un-American but letting people die because of lack of health insurance is patriotic.” That message was retweeted more than 29,000 times.
Oh and this:

Investigators and researchers say it is hard to quantify the scope of Russian influence efforts on Twitter and other platforms. But it affected even Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey, who between late-2016 and mid-2017 shared at least 17 tweets from a Russian troll who went by Crystal1Johnson on Twitter, the Journal’s analysis found.
