FBI documents detail how the Russians try to recruit spies
Zachary Cohen, CNN, April 17, 2017
It is a scene ripped from Hollywood spy thrillers: Russian agents living and working among everyday, American citizens as cover for their true mission of stealing state secrets.
In the real world, it is highly unlikely that your neighbor, coworker or mailman is actually a clandestine Russian operative working under a false identity. But ..... the notion that foreign spies are using old-school tactics and personally recruiting agents to divulge sensitive information is actually widely accepted among intelligence officials.
There is no doubt that the rise of information warfare and cyberespionage has changed the spy game .........

The bots are all echoing the same thing, trying to drive their wingnut drivel to the top of social media and twitter.
Twitter search Carter Page if you want to see a lot of the exact same tweet by fake people.
This is what they are countering, and they want to malign FBI using the Steele Dossier.
