The most prominent theme (24% of all URLs shared) was the probe into the sale of a uranium mining company to Russia&#8217;s Atomic Energy Agency that was approved by the Obama administration in 2010. The original reporting by The Hill was a top URL for several consecutive days, all other URLs shared promoted some variation on a theme of corruption, collusion, cover-up by the Clinton-led State Department and\/or the Mueller-led FBI (#ClintonRussianCollusion was also a top hashtag last week). Outside of the uranium probe, ten other URLs shared (17% of the total) were coded as anti-Mueller, Comey, and\/or Clinton. Conversely, four stories (7%) shared by the network were pro-Julian Assange\/Wikileaks. Syria was again the most discussed geopolitical topic, appearing in 10% of the URLs shared by the network. Among other geopolitical topics, \u201cwhatboutism\u201d was a prominent theme, with individual stories shared that compared Catalonia to Kosovo and that blamed the United States for worsening U.S.\/Russian relations due to the bombing of Belgrade in 1999.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a Twitter user, and I can&#8217;t imagine bothering, but if I were and had the time, I&#8217;d keep an eye on this in an attempt to understand the psychological approaches the Russians are using to subvert our Republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Alliance to Secure Democracy is watching Twitter, or more specifically those accounts linked to the Russian campaign to influence American opinion.
