Did the Russians really spend 'millions' trying to swing the election?

Defendant INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY LLC is a Russian organization engaged in political and electoral interference operations.

A larger CONCORD-funded interference operationreferred to as "Project 'Lakhta." Project Lakhta had multiple components, some involving domestic audiences within the Russian Federation and others targeting foreign audiences in various countries, including the United States.

Does the allegation of "Hundreds of operatives" include the Project Lakhta staff working "Within the Russian Federation and others targeting foreign audiences in various countries, including the United States"? Or, maybe the entire all-caps ORGANIZATION? We just don't know.

I've never had a security clearance, but it seems to me that the operation described in the indictment was the 2016 edition of the sort of dezinformatsiya black ops that the Russians have been conducting here since the Bolshevik Revolution.

Last night, she appeared on Tucker Carlson's show and pointed out the lack of sourcing for these claims, and pointing out that the only thing on sworn evidence is the $46,000 that Facebook testified it has been paid by Russians.

The first minute of the video below features the embarrassing video of John Podesta fumbling the question of why the Russians seemed to know more about targeting purple states than the Hillary campaign that he headed did.

Ever since the 13 indictments were announced last Friday, exactly in time to distract public attention from the FBI's bungling that cost 17 people their lives in Parkland, Florida, we have been hearing about "Millions" of dollars spent by the Russians "Per month." It's become a major talking point.
