Yup. Barbos is playing dumb (I think he's playing) about it. The FACT that there millions and millions of people subjected to the products of Russian-backed trolls and 'bots is not arguable by any sane person. Barbos can scream "nuh uh!" to his heart's content, and it won't change the FACT that this is true and verified.
No, I am not playing dumb, I accept that Trump tried to contact russians to get dirt on Clinton. That's an established fact. Russian government Trolls theory was not substantiated, quite the opposite, some of the trolls were shown to be in it for the money and they were not even russians.
Some of the theories were shown to be 100% false and fabricated by american Russo-phobes (Alpha bank hoax)
So it's not that as clear as you claim.
