Russia-linked Twitter accounts are working overtime to help Devin Nunes and WikiLeaksNatasha Bertrand 3h
Twitter accounts linked to Russian influence operations have begun promoting the hashtag #ReleaseTheMemo.
It's a reference to a document written by Rep. Devin Nunes that purports to show abuse by the Obama administration of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The frequency with which the accounts have been promoting the hashtag has spiked by 233,000% over the past 48 hours, according to an analysis.
The most-shared URL has been a link to WikiLeaks' "submit" page.
Republican lawmakers are pushing for the House Intelligence Committee to release a memo written by the panel's chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, that outlines purported surveillance during the transition period against President-elect Donald Trump by former President Barack Obama's administration.
And Russia-linked Twitter bots have jumped on the bandwagon.

As we can all see the USA is still under attack from Putin's Russia and NOTHING is being done about it!
WTH do you think Trump's employer is going to do during the midterm elections this year?
The USA is wide open and defenseless against foreign influence on our elections thanks to Shitler, his traitor party and Fox 'news' propaganda!

They had their run, but they are giving up the ghost now. Only Trumps dying base believes it anymore. However, in broke Russia, a jobs is a job.
