Merkel Asks Mueller If There’s Anything She Can Do to Help
BRUSSELS —The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, took a break from the nato summit in Brussels on Wednesday to ask the independent counsel, Robert Mueller, if there is anything she can do to help.
According to those familiar with the phone conversation,
Merkel told Mueller that
she would take a leave of absence as leader of the German government and
move to Washington to work full-time for Mueller “if that would be of assistance.”
Touting her credentials, Merkel told Mueller that she was fluent in Russian
and could be helpful in translating the thousands of Russian-language do ents that the special counsel has in his collection of evidence.
“I will work for free and pay my for my own food,” Merkel said. “I just want to make this stop.”
Mueller reportedly thanked Merkel for her offer but told her
he had to wrap up their conversation because he had “Emmanuel Macron on the other line.”

Manafort loses bid to stay in 'VIP' jail, could face evidence from 1980s
U.S. President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort
may face evidence at trial about alleged wrongdoing in the 1980s and
lost a bid to stay at a jail where he said he was being treated like a “VIP,” court papers on Wednesday showed.
The developments came as Manafort gets closer to two trials where he will defend himself against a number of charges ranging from bank fraud to failing to register as a foreign agent for lobbying work for pro-Russia politicians in Ukraine.
Ellis denied Manafort’s request and ordered him moved to the Alexandria Detention Center,
rejecting the notion that he would not be safe there.
The Alexandria jail had experience with high-profile defendants “including foreign and domestic terrorists, spies and traitors,” Ellis wrote.

Twitter’s wiping tens of millions of accounts from its platform
If you see a decline in your Twitter following over the next few days, you can blame, well, Twitter — and
the fact that those accounts probably weren’t real in the first place.
Starting this week, Twitter will begin removing tens of millions of su ious and fake accounts from its platform’s follower counts in an effort to clean up the site.
Specifically, it will remove locked accounts — su ious accounts it puts a temporary lock on until owners validate them and change their passwords.
According to the New York Times, this change will result in users collectively losing tens of millions of followers.
It will reduce the total combined Twitter follower count by an estimated 6 percent,

Sounds pretty good, but will they be able to block new fake accounts?
And Facebook? Instagram?
So you're more shocked over the word blowjobs than Trump's own words about Mexicans, african countries and so on?
Russian Influence Campaign Sought To Exploit Americans' Trust In Local News
Russia's information attack against the United States during the 2016 election cycle sought to take advantage of the greater trust that Americans tend to place in local news.
The information operatives who worked out of the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg did not stop at posing as American social media users or spreading false information from purported news sources, according to new details.
They also created a number of Twitter accounts that posed as sources for Americans' hometown headlines.
NPR has reviewed information connected with the investigation and found 48 such accounts.
They have names such as @ElPasoTopNews, @MilwaukeeVoice, @CamdenCityNews and @Seattle_Post.
The Russia Investigations: Mueller Indicts The 'Internet Research Agency'
"A not-insignificant amount of those had some sort of variation on what
appeared to be a homegrown local news site,"
said Bret Schafer, a social media analyst for the Alliance for Securing Democracy, which tracks Russian influence operations and first noticed this trend.
Another example:
The Internet Research Agency created an
account that looks like it is the Chicago Daily News. That newspaper shuttered in 1978.
The Internet Research Agency-linked account was created in May 2014, and for years, it just posted local headlines, ac ulating some 19,000 followers by July 2016.
Mueller Indictment Of Russian Operatives Details Playbook Of Information Warfare
Another twist:
These accounts apparently never spread misinformation.
In fact, they posted real local news, serving as sleeper accounts building trust and readership for some future, unforeseen effort.
"They set them up for a reason.
And if at any given moment,
they wanted to operationalize this network of what seemed to be local American news handles,
they can significantly influence the narrative on a breaking news story,"
Schafer told NPR.
"But now instead of just showing up online and flooding it with news sites,
they have these accounts with two years of credible history."
Twitter caught these Internet Research Agency accounts in the act and suspended them.
The Russia Investigations: What You Need To Know About Russian 'Active Measures'
The discovery and suspension of the local accounts suggests two things as investigators continue to build their understanding about
Russia's campaign of active measures against the United States and the West.
First, that the Russian misinformation project was a years-long effort,
one that wasn't simply focused on the 2016 election but on destabilizing the United States over an extended period of time.
"The Russians are playing a long game. They've developed a presence on social media.
They've created these fic ious persons and fic ious organizations that have built up over a period of time a certain trustworthiness among people that follow them,"
said Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee.
Second, the failed effort to create local news accounts also says something about how Americans trust local news sources more than national news —
and how the Russians evidently knew about that vulnerability.
A Pew survey from 2016 found that
82 percent of Americans have "some" or "a lot" of confidence in local news organizations.
"If you're trying to pass along information that is not true but you want people to believe it,
creating or inventing fake local news sources is an effective way of doing it
because people will convey some trust to the locality even if the publication is one they've never seen before."
said Tom Rosenstiel, the executive director of the American Press Ins ute.
Russia's Election Meddling Part Of A Long History Of 'Active Measures'
Though this particular effort to exploit local news failed, the Russian misinformation campaign continues now.
"This effort is not over," said Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican on the Senate intelligence committee.
"It continues to this very day, where the Russians are trying to sow the seeds of discontent in our society, take advantage of the polarization that exists."
