    Its not about Facebook ads so much as it is about the trump family and their interest and attempts to sway the election using Russian influence.

    And to dismiss the entire inquiry into Russia's role in the election based upon the Facebook ads is erroneous, they weren't even discovered till after Mueller's investigation was launched

    Millions of taxpayer dollars have probably been spent already poring over that $100,000 of Facebook ads.
    Better to keep it all in perspective, as everyone did in 1996
    . The only way Russia will get its money’s worth is if Washington overreacts and narrows the very freedoms that make America different in the first place.

    You are willfully ignorant; or just a sociopathic liar.

    the entire bogus "Russian collusion" and it's offshoots are fake news.
