How do you get "Mueller obstructed his own investigation?" Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #24

From "The Nation," of course. Some good stuff Hortensis Apr 2019 #27

Indictment: Russians also tried to help Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein presidential campaigns George II Apr 2019 #28

Stories like that are often suppressed or dismissed. We deserve to know the truth. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #29

Mueller found that Russia helped Bernie Sanders and targeted Hillary Clinton. stonecutter357 Apr 2019 #7

Do you see any statistics in the un-blacked version of Muller's Report that dispute Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #9

Just a reminder that the redacted portion of Mueller's report is ongoing criminal matters Indygram Apr 2019 #61

Which could be beneficial to Bernie, it was Barr that blacked it out. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #64

What "Pundits"? It mentions 2 that I see. Also, although those percentages might seem low... PeeJ52 Apr 2019 #10

18% not 20 of Instagram and 7% of Facebook which brings us to content Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #15

I used to love and trust The Nation, especially Katrina vanden Heuvel hlthe2b Apr 2019 #12

Are you aware of any studies, reports or investigations which dispute the findings Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #16

Indeed. THE CEO of NEW KNOWLEDGE was suspended for disseminating fake news by FACEBOOK hlthe2b Apr 2019 #19

That doesn't answer my question and I responded to your post# 17 Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #23

You ignore evidence of fraud from a key contributor. Do YOUR OWN research. hlthe2b Apr 2019 #30

No one disputes Russian meddling in the 2016 election but nothing in Mueller's report Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #38

What precisely in Mueller's report disputes the findings or statistics in the OP? Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #40

So what is your rebuttal to University of Oxford's Computational Propaganda Research Project? Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #53

It is the most valid study to date, Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #65

Taking a single unvalidated study of questionable methods as Gospel while ignoring Mueller/FBI hlthe2b Apr 2019 #68

Nothing in the OP contradicts the Mueller Report (at least what is visible) nor FBI/CIA findings. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #70

Again, you refuse to accept the findings. See my last post. hlthe2b Apr 2019 #71

Present a link please. Uncle Joe Apr 2019 #72

If you can't find my last post to you sequentially numbered then I think I'm not able to assist you hlthe2b Apr 2019 #73
