DNC did what they have an over a Billion Dollar investigation going on realDonaldTrump 4!

MissyJo79 That figures. Wherever you find Democrats, you find Russians working with them to rig elections. Immediately after, you find FBI and DOJ trying to cover it all up.

This...part of a much larger fake 'Russian bot' disinfo campaign that goes back to the 2016 election. All set up so Mueller could 'indict' and push a 'muh Russia' conspiracy theory. This is deep.

How about the AG in Alabama investigate the charges of pedophilia?

If this is illegal then what about all of trump's disinformation that he put out in his campaign and continues to do!

The man is a child molester no need to spin facts. He's a horrible human being.

They were 11 not 13, there, fixed it for you.

Lol, too late, the left are liars and will do anything to win in politics. Obstruction

Is that a typo? Did he mean to say “white race”?

Sure, let’s worry about pervert Moore but refuse to recognize and take action for Russian interference, gerrymandering and voter suppression. No.

Do Better 😒😒

Disinformation? Were they low-balling how many underage girls this douche was creeping on?

Doesn’t matter, still a pedo

Seriously! The Republicans are screaming about disinformation tactics! Hypocrisy at its most viral.

Was affected by the truth?

So are we about Trumps Moore however not so much.

There’s no doubt it affected the outcome. All lies. It’s a shame this could even happen in this country. But most Americans say back and watched this instead of standing for the constitutional values of this nation. Despicable

Lukensmemos We all knew that. Never was properly investigated.

No. It’s the hat. As a Texan I would vote against the hat on general principle. He looks like a Green Acres character.

Still crying

Maybe he should probe his love of minors, you know, something that could do some actual good for the folks of Alabama who pay his check and maybe also deter powerful men in the future.

So to be clear, GOP thinks it’s important to investigate this type of activity?

Sure, Mr. Pedophile was wronged.

What, that Roy Moore dated underaged ... nevermind. The race should not have been close.

More dirty democrats dirty tricks !

ПУСТЬ ГОВОРИТ

AGSteveMarshall is fighting for a child predator who should never been on the ballot in the 1st place. What crime wouldn’t be acceptable by the GOP? AG implies AL accept criminals as candidates..Crimes are no longer criminal as long as it’s GOP. It’s about a “win” at ANY cost.

All you Russia gate conspiracy theory loving tin foil hat pedejos, you own this. You pendejos did the same thing you accuse the Russians of doing.

The AG is assuming Roy Moore supporters can read!

The mainstream media like CNN, MSNBC, Washington post and the Nytimes have been affecting elections by pushing disinformation to influence voters opinion. Somebody need to hold them accountable.

He should be worried. LYING, CHEATING, STEALING Are the Dems' cornerstone calling cards.

Watching people in the comments rationalize the very same disinformation which led to the creation of the special counsel is rich. “It’s ok when we do it” seems to be the common thread.

Disinformation also impacted the presidentional election. Disinformation from our President is also impacting people lives in a negative manner.

Duh

Here we go with more intelligence about election tampering. The new fraud.

Of course it was affected. Especially if the Left thinks $4k in FB ads affected the Presidential one. This disinformation was just a test run for 2020 when the Left will do anything to win. Watch

Maybe they ran a terrible candidate that resulted in the state being the biggest laughing stock (again) in the country. Sound familiar to 2016?

Wait wait wait. Are you telling me that the liberal Demi’s are liars and full of BS. No way!! This is brand new information!

Reporting on your handy work? Just tell the public what you did! Garbage reporting!

Uhhh.....It's not disinformation if it's true.

Wonder if billionaire Reid Hoffman was connected to-as in paid-the 'journalists' (and I use the term lightly) at WaPo that 'broke' this story? 🤔

He lost, get over it.

Good

NotShocking. Believeeverythingtheleftmakesup, Guiltyuntilpeoveninnocent

Hold it is ok he is a TRUMP supporter they have no rights because of the way they vote right

So Alabama is figuring out why a child molester didn’t win an election. Got it.

Disinformation?! You don’t say

Remember, it’s not disinformation if you *believe* it.

Alabama is a state that's like a bastard at a family reunion - embarrassing.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh God. Stop. I'll pee myself. Against Republicans. Lawd y'all are funny.

So bring out the facts about Moore is something the AL AG is investigating? God forbid the truth comes out !

Leftist Liberal Democrat Most divisive Ideology on the planet. Roy will be a rich man after he sues the pants off WAPO...

Oh u mean the disinformation things that were said in Florida and Georgia weren’t true ?

After donny is impeached we need to look into election laws & do some changing so this shit never happens again. Whether in the White House or local elections. Enough already. One man, one vote whatever happened to that?

Real Trump Economy, the only one technology can produce safe drinking water is out of job for years!

Moore is using good oxygen that could be used to clean just a bit more of the environment. Waste of skin too!

bs

Disinformation is wrong, but appealing to Republicans that didnt want Moore is not disinformation. It will be interesting and telling to see what information they deem 'fake'

Huh. I thought he lost because everyone found out he was a pedophile.

Roy Moore is the hill you want to die on?

They should appoint WaPo, after all you are experts At disinformation,

Moore had Trump stump for him. That was the greatest disinformation of all.

GO AWAY DO NOT GET AHEAD AMERICA WILL NOT VOTE FOR SEXUAL PREDATORS DONT YALL GET THAT THERE IS NO PROBE TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION ITS CALLED WASTING TAXPAYERS MONEY HE CAN FIND A JOB IN WALMART AND TARGET AND OTHER CORPORATES PLACES THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING FOR HIM ALTOGETHER

What they're alleged to have done? Distasteful (Moore was also credibly accused of sexually assaulting teen girls, so oh well). What they're alleged to have done? Not illegal. It's not like they were coordinating messaging and hacks of Moore with a foreign country.

All hands on deck! There's a white paedophile to protect!!!

Live by the sword, etc, etc.

This is true. Disinformation: Moore trolled the local strip malls for teenagers throughout the 80s. Fact: Moore trolled the local covered malls for teenagers throughout the 80s.

Whatever. When Democrats cheat all it does is make it a level playing field.

Moore was condemned on the basis of simply trusting the word of an accuser over an accused. If the accusers were legitimate they wouldn’t have disappeared after the smear. If the media cared they should have followed up. The man was destroyed. Justice also died.

'Dem' modus operandi. Clinton playbook, 'anything' to win, when it is NOT really winning.

What should be investigated is how many Democrats voted for Roy Moore in the primary. They knew Jones could beat Moore & had to make sure Luther Strange didn’t get the nomination

Doug Jones should be removed and a new election held. Let’s be consistent with the House seat in North Carolina!

it was the pedophilia.

MORE OLD WHITE ENTITLED POOR ME..and Sex Offender stuff...wow.

Me reading this

Whoa! So even the Russians knew this guy was horrible?

Lol

Also the candidate trolling the local malls for teenagers throughout the 80s.

Its not disinformation just cause its negative. Moore is a disgusting person.

This is a big story. The Democrats are cheating. This comes as a surprise to nobody of course.

LMFAO Taste of their own medicine. suckitTrumptards

... Yes, by him being a pedophile

So does this mean that Republicans feel that disinformation and voter manipulation is a bad thing? Asking for a friend.

Child predators a problem?

Fucking lol

Wapo is useless.

Might have also been affected by him being a pedophile and all.

You don’t say? Hmmm, imagine that, people find out that a guy is perv creep and don’t vote for him... poor Roy...

Just arrest the Lindedin Fool for interference- no different then the Russians

Why is he still in the news

italianewssport

Must be time for a second special counsel.

Oh, because being a pedophile wasn't bad enough?

Disinformation? Alabama is such a trash state 🤣😭

Alabama still gonna alabama

Is there even such a thing as disinformation about Roy Moore?

Hell.. the information that was out was enough to sink his chances.

Wow, that guy must be super sad that the child molester didn't get elected. Your 2018 GOP, everyone.

WarOnDumb you covering this story?

So lying is OK if you’re running for President but not Senate?

lol
