Russian jounalists already had a story about this troll farm back in the fall of 2017.

A 37-page indictment issued by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team on Friday brings fresh American attention to one of the strangest elements of alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election: The Internet Research Agency (IRA), a state-sponsored “troll factory” in St. Petersburg.
But much of the information Mueller published on Friday about the agency’s efforts to influence the election had already been published last October — in an article by a Russian business magazine, RBC.
In a 4,500-word report titled “How the 'troll factory' worked the U.S. elections,” journalists Polina Rusyaeva and Andrey Zakharov offered the fullest picture yet of how the “American department” of the IRA used Facebook, Twitter and other tactics to inflame tensions ahead of the 2016 vote. The article also looked at the staffing structure of the organization and revealed details about its budget and salaries.

Its all good fun no need to worry. An election decided by 80k votes so what if Russia changed the outcome - who knows. The USA can take a joke. Lets see if they can do it for a half million next time lololol.
Libtards get so worried about attacks against the US. Why worry especially when they are on the cheap. I say let the Russians have their fun with us! Its all good. And they are really just joking for a few bucks so cool too.
