Whats his game? Facebook VP lies, says Russia meant to hurt both Trump and Clinton equally

Umm...read page 4 of the indictment, you oaf. It says specifically that the operation was designed to benefit Trump and hurt Cruz, Rubio, and Clinton in the GE. I just read it!

Russia has NEVER done anything to disparage or hurt Trump. Ever.

Here’s the link to Goldman’s comments:

Are Zuckerberg and his crew throwing their support behind Trump and are they trumpkins now? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at Mark. Most billionaires are Republicans.

Is to think he posted this to try to get some of the Trumpkins to slowly wake up to the idea of Russian meddling without trying to de-legitimatize their guy but that’s too 3-dimensional chess. I vote that he’s a Trump-loving mother fucker desperate to shore up revenue for his fake news operation!

liberals ditched it paving the way for facebook to lead. Maybe facebook does not want to alienate either side so they speak to both sides telling each side what they want to hear?

And they are already trying to affect the 2018 election.

and thought it would be brilliant to mess with both candidates? '

Yet somehow they forgot to release the repub emails they hacked?

I won't even give this guy the benefit of the doubt. As someone who was in the trenchs of FB, he knows exactly who was benefiting from the russians interference.
