NBC published a story Wednesday about Twitter suspending a Saudi botnet that was shaping discussion on Jamal Khashoggi's assassination. The New York Times published a story yesterday -- "Saudis’ Image Makers: A Troll Army and a Twitter Insider" by Katie Benner, Mark Mazzetti, Ben Hubbard and Mike Isaac -- about Saudi Arabia's troll farm and Twitter botnet (the kingdom had a mole, an engineer, within Twitter itself) that is far more extensive than anything that has been reported regarding Mueller's indictment of individuals working at St. Petersburg's Internet Research Agency.
The real story regarding collusion with foreign power and that foreign power's interference with U.S. domestic elections has really always been about the Gulf monarchies and Israel.
Now that it appears that Mueller is going to wrap up his Russiagate efforts -- read Caitlin Johnstone's excellent "Politico Report Says Russiagaters Should Prepare To Kiss My Ass" -- one wonders what is going to happen with Mueller's case involving Elliott Broidy, George Nader, the United Arab Emirates and Israel. Probably nothing.
