i'm ignoring this stuff for good reason, as it's insane. but, let's see what they found.

1) the ads did not include election content.
2) the ads were not targeted towards any election outcome.
3) the ads were not targeted towards any specific demographic.
4) the ads were not connected to any political party.

but...

5) the ads "probably" originated in russia because they were purchased in russian.

therefore, russia interfered in the election!

by that logic, budweiser is interfering in russian elections whenever it runs ads for beer in russia.

hey - they said trump wanted to bring the country back to the 50s. well, there you go, i guess.
