The linked Time Magazine article doesn't mention the RNC, Republicans or Preibus once.  And it doesn't say the Russians bought pro-Trump ads, either, just that they bought ads to target some Twitter users - and it's thought that US intelligence does this, too.  The rest, including the headline here, is all the conjecture of a partisan Democrat who I have never heard of, without any supporting evidence.

It's crazy...I was thinking this whole time that the GOP was/is probably okay with Russia interfering in our election since it helps them. But I never figured it would all be true.

Apparently, that loon Louise Mensch was right.

Louise Mensch will be a loony toon until the end of time even if she is proven right on every allegation she's ever made. She behaves like an utterly insane person

you are correct regarding the conclusions, i changed the headline, even while i would still suggest this must have been pro-trump ads.

That is not always a bad trait in women, if you know what I mean.

The lesson is to actually read articles rather then reposting BREAKING tweets, I guess.

The article is about one of Russia's possible way to use 'social media' and targeting. The efficiency is questionable (according to the article).

at first i thought there were several stories inside the time mag edition and this was just one of them, didn't realize at first, i was linking just another hack.

He's right, the Hot-Crazy Matrix proves this.

Is it legal for other countries to purchase digital ads for American elections? Seems like a gray area to me.

Russians seems to buy ads of stories about elections or other events (stories of RT for example).
I can't see how it can be illegal.
