Russian Meddling Now Focused On Undermining Mueller
Russian meddling in the 2016 election was apparently just the prequel.
Now America's former Cold War rival is using social media to undermine Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe, a former CIA official and a former Republican congressman said Monday night.
Michael Morell, who ran the CIA, and Michael Rogers, former chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post that Russia is still busy using its social media tools to create down across the U.S. about Mueller's integrity.
“There is a perception among the media and general public that Russia ended its social-media operations following last year's election and that we need worry only about future elections,” the pair wrote. “But that perception is wrong. Russia's information operations in the United States continued after the election and they continue to this day.”
During one week in early December, for example, roughly 20 percent of the activity from accounts tied to Russian intelligence for propaganda was focused on undermining faith in Mueller's investigation into potential collusion between Russia and the successful campaign of Donald Trump, according to research by The Alliance for Securing Democracy.
