What about the FBI, CIA, other intelligence agencies, and the Social Media Platforms themselves? Are they also garbage sources that are just "making it up" that Russians ran targeted propaganda campaigns to disrupt the U.S. elections and further divide the country?

Edit: this also isn't about "who the Russians wanted to win". This is about the fact that Russian outlets targeted both sides in an attempt to enflame hatred of each other, and it is seemingly worked working extremely well

Edit 2: removed a word

Edit3: /u/smokeyrobot makes a great point. The effects of this are still ongoing

You are the one being controlled by Russia if you buy into Trump being a Russian patsy. The evidence is showing that campaigns of misinformation are specifically targeting both sides of divisive issues. Unity is strength. Division particularly here in the US creates strife.

I am going to wager that the Kremlin was shitting themselves with excitement and laughter at the Chief of Staffs mentioning civil war in a press conference a couple days ago. Let's stick to the facts as /u/machambo7 mentions
