Breitbart and Infowars Under Intense FBI Investigation for Ties to Russia

[Bladewire]

Investigators are examining whether far-right news sites played any role last year in a Russian cyber operation that dramatically widened the reach of news stories ? some fictional ? that favored Donald Trump's presidential bid, two people familiar with the inquiry say.

Operatives for Russia appear to have strategically timed the computer commands, known as "bots," to blitz social media with links to the pro-Trump stories at times when the billionaire businessman was on the defensive in his race against Democrat Hillary Clinton, these sources said.

The bots' end products were largely millions of Twitter and Facebook posts carrying links to stories on conservative internet sites such as Breitbart News and InfoWars, as well as on the Kremlin-backed RT News and Sputnik News, the sources said. Some of the stories were false or mixed fact and fiction, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the bot attacks are part of an FBI-led investigation into a multifaceted Russian operation to influence last year's elections.

Investigators examining the bot attacks are exploring whether the far-right news operations took any actions to assist Russia's operatives. Their participation, however, wasn't necessary for the bots to amplify their news through Twitter and Facebook.

The investigation of the bot-engineered traffic, which appears to be in its early stages, is being driven by the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, whose inquiries rarely result in criminal charges and whose main task has been to reconstruct the nature of the Kremlin's cyberattack and determine ways to prevent another.

An FBI spokesman declined to comment on the inquiry into the use of bots.

Russia-generated bots are one piece of a cyber puzzle that counterintelligence agents have sought to solve for nearly a year to determine the extent of the Moscow government's electronic broadside.

"This may be one of the most highly impactful information operations in the history of intelligence," said one former U.S. intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

Bureau Director James Comey confirmed Monday at a House Intelligence Committee hearing what long has been reported: that the FBI is investigating possible links between individuals in the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian campaign to influence the election and whether there was any coordination between the two.

The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, one of multiple congressional panels examining Russia's intervention, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that there was "circumstantial evidence of collusion." There also is "direct evidence ... of deception, and that's where we begin the investigation," said Rep. Adam Schiff of California.

No, Hillary Clinton did not "give Russia 20 percent of the uranium? in the US - Vox

Why is this even part of the discussion? Because, you know, now that the US sold uranium to Russia they can build a nuclear bomb. You know, so they can add to the tens of thousands of bombs they already have.

Lol big fucking deal. Guilt by association?

Stefan Molyneux and Adam Kokesh both have been on RT multiple times (both are anarchists).

It doesn't mean they're fucking Russian sympathizers or allies with Russia.

And Adam Kokesh a Libertarian. Russia funds Libertarians & the green party to weaken the Democratic party.

Molyneux is still an anarchist.

I've met Kokesh and he's also an anarchist. Libertarian in its purest form is synonymous with anarchism. I consider myself both a Libertarian and an anarchist.

The fact that RT interviewed them, and even gave Adam a show, does not mean that they're allies. Both Adam and Stefan are advocates of stateless societies, and Russia is a nation state.

Strange you don't think Russian propaganda TV paying an outspoken Canadian, Putin & Trump supporter, to have an anti American show on RT doesn't mean they're allies. Not to mention the fact he's constantly on infowars as well.

RT America says it's funded by the Russian government.

"RT America is a TV channel based in Washington, D.C., and part of the RT network, a global multilingual television news network based in Moscow, Russia. RT is a non-profit organization funded by the Russian government."

In case you weren't clear on Russia Today's relationship to Moscow, Putin says it's Russia funded

[just a punk]

You didn't know that RT is the world's most popular news channel on YouTube? Maybe you didn't know that RT receives millions of dollars from Google, which is a US-based company that works for CIA? I'll tell you more. RT has accounts in the EU and USA banks. Many RT employees are US citizens (agents?) Even Larry King has a show there. You didn't know that too, right? According to your logic: RT = CIA, because the ties are so obvious...



Waiting for the investigation on RT ties with the USA If you'd live in Stalin's era, you'd be a director of NKVD and Margarita Simonyan would be a first person to be sent to Gulag for betrayal of the motherland. Is that right, comrade колючая проволка?

P.S. Every news channel is propaganda. However some propaganda is made better and more professionally than others. The YouTube stats show that very clear. Isn't it?

You are arguing with Putin, call him and talk it out:

"Certainly the channel is funded by the government, so it cannot help but reflect the Russian government?s official position on the events in our country and in the rest of the world one way or another. " - Vladimir Putin

"...was conceived as a soft-power tool to improve Russia?s image abroad, to counter the anti-Russian bias the Kremlin saw in the Western media."

Like I didn't see it before? Like it wasn't shown by the Putin-controlled media? How does it relate to the RT/CIA ties? You say that every person who has any relation to RT is a Russian agent because... RT is being paid by a US-based company called Google which works for CIA (the US government). How come?

what's NOT right, is how none of these faggy congressmen had the balls to ask Comey why he opened the 2nd email investigation and then closed it a few days later with NO EXPLANATION. if that doesn't enrage you, then you shouldn't live in this country. Because all it spells is Extreme Corruption....and ALL OF CONGRESS turning their heads the other way, towards something that should of got A LOT of attention.

hey idiot...can't you see this is not about blame? Hilary Clinton has lost and it's been accepted. But we need to find out if the current president has been basically installed by our biggest foreign adversary, and is possibly a puppet currently. This kind of shit is important.

You are in denial of actual facts.

Putin funds RT and has said openly in interviews that it's created as pro Russia spin news. FACT.

"Certainly the channel is funded by the government, so it cannot help but reflect the Russian government?s official position on the events in our country and in the rest of the world one way or another. " - Vladimir Putin

"...was conceived as a soft-power tool to improve Russia?s image abroad, to counter the anti-Russian bias the Kremlin saw in the Western media."

Nobody else funded Alex Jones in 2010 but Putin look at infowars archive.org for 2010.

You love your Daddy Putin anyway so you don't care

Infowars 2011
One of hundreds of Russian paid propaganda articles
"Russias not our friend" yet he's bought by Russia and hundreds of appearances on RT TV.

"And if you believe that Russia is now our ?friend?, then you have been seriously deceived.
The Cold War is not over. In fact, activity by Russian intelligence agents inside the United States and other western nations is now at least at Cold War levels."

"The Russian Bear is back, and Russia is going to play a huge role in world events in the years to come."

Yeah. And that was pretty fucking horrible looking, too. Although that money donated to the Clinton Foundation came way before that deal was made.

Further, though - Can't we have both things be true or are current Trump supporters going to continue this asinine counter-argument that Hillary Clinton is bad.

Living in past conspiracies is all Trump supporters have. Everything since 2017 has been downhill for them with his criminal FBI investigation & 2 failed Muslim bans 5 team members being forced to resign for lying about Russia. Reality sucks for Trump supporters right now.

I actually called this a long time ago. I said the conspiracy nonsense was likely from Russia because all the conspiracies cater around anti US anti west establishment and tend to be pro Russia when it has anything to do with Russia.

I said this a long time ago and now it seems people are catching on..

Conspiracy theories have been around for decades. It's odd that nobody cared about them until Hillary lost the election. Now all of a sudden they are a threat to democracy.
