Mostly a NOTHING BURGER! The only thing inter-dashing is the amount of redacted pages that may be under legal indictments for the harm to ongoing matters.
Summary: IRA set up accounts on all social media platforms to be positive to Trump and Sanders but negative to Hillary.
However, there is no way to measure real voter impact. And the most interesting is the naming of States Michael McFaul, Roger Stone, Sean Hannity and Michael Flynn Jr retweeted or responded to tweets by IRA.

Completely REDATED
REDACTED PAGES â Would be good to keep a list of these pages since this might be information being used for future indictments or still under investigation.
I can take a section if one is needed. I already finished one. Is anything needed?
Or a second look at a complicated or complex section?
421-430
thank you that shows how few pages are fully redacted. Excellent visual.

Where is the link for Vol II of II
I am wanting to read pages 421-430 but only have Vol I. (as I offered to do)
I apologize for asking for this if it is already here.
PDF Pages 421-430
Summary: Part of Written Questions given to Trump and His written answers regarding Trump Tower mtg and statements re: Clinton at campaign speeches.
Trump usually said that he could not recall, but was extremely open in giving his desk calendar for requested dates and suggested the use of TV media footage for discovery.
HE DID NOT RECALL being aware of communications with anyone he understood to be a Russian official.
His speeches were initially drafted by Campaign staff. (And these were presented already to the Special Counsel.) So He didnât have any special plans or reasons to include something regarding Hillary in a speech.
PDF pages 421-426
This section asked questions:
PART II
Russian Hacking/ Russian Efforts to Use Social Media/ Wikileaks.
PART III
Trump Organization Moscow Project Questions
PART IV and V
Contacts with Russia Related Issues during the Campaign and then during the Transition.
The answers by Trump in this section are:
Beginning on PDF pages 427 restating questions by Part and then giving answers.
Starting with Part I
June 9, 2016 Meeting at Trump Tower (Pages 429-430)
Trump wrote he had no recollection of the June 2016 Trump Towers meeting or of learning about emails between DJT jr. and Emin Agalarov or Robert Goldstone. Also, Trump had no recollection of whether he was in Trump Towers on those days. His calendar showed he had meetings in NYC but he canât recall where the mtgs took place. His answers also indicated that TV footage of him on these dates could shed light on these days.
He consistently confirmed mtgs on his calendar but honestly said he could not remember the specifics of the one that day because he was doing such much each day during that time period of over 2 years ago.
He explained there were times when his staff received communication and responded to some of the people in questions, but had no independent recollection. Even on the receipt of a painting and book given by Aras Agalarov.
Re-read page 256 since it gave âintentâ by summarizerâŚ. I wanted to find out what was actually said, instead of an intent given.
âMaybeâ is a guessâŚ. it is not factual that maybe Trump knew about Flynn talking to Kislyak!
Kislyakâs name is on page 255.
Much of what is given on here as fact in the report is hearsay.
In reading the report, since I have only read sections, where do we find the actual memos or emails referred to in the footnotes as proof???
I want to verify statements in report from the original document not the Mueller report.
This statement from PAGE 1 summarized by anon is HUGE Summary of the WHOLE Report.
>>identified links from Russia to Trump Campaign, BUT, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
>>NO COLLUSION
Is it wrong for me to question the Mueller teams version or interpretation of a original materialâŚ. or do we simply believe everything written in the report.
I guess since we have been trained to question everything and research for ourself I donât believe anything until I personally research it myself.
Does that make sense?
The witch hunt started before this point. I think we must be open to the fact that the russian bots may and social media IRA âspecialistâ may be the deep state or cabal beginning their Russia-Trump connection as noted in the social media association section of this report.
If anything is left when I get back from work tonight I will be glad to do another. I did two already.
Just wanted board to know. You can even assign me a section and I will do it tonight or I just check in.
Late on Friday, but I see 361-370 still needs to be done so I will do it.
361 â 370
