QAnon referenced even though graphic in article shows a basically negligible number of tweets referencing Q.

 

From the article:

 

Suspected automated Russian accounts also retweeted messages from at least 24 different seemingly Canadian accounts promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory. This baseless conspiracy theory claims that a high-ranking member of President Trump's administration — known only as 'Q' — is secretly leaking information on the anonymous 8chan message board.

 

'Q' insisted in October 2017 that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had been extradited and would soon face a military tribunal. 'Q' also claims that Trump is on the cusp of triggering 'The Storm' — a far-reaching takeover of the U.S. government to expel "deep state" enemies of the administration. After some 2,600 'Q' posts, none of its predictions have materialized.

 

Some examples of tweets promoting the conspiracy:
