LinkedIn billionaire apologizes for funding 'false flag' effort to link Russai to Republican in AL Senate race

Liberal billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn Reid Hoffman, issued an apology on Wednesday for funding a group that falsely tried to give an impression that the Russian government was supporting Alabama Republican Roy Moore in last year’s Senate election against now-Sen. Doug Jones.

LinkedIn, is one of Silicon Valley’s top donors to the Democratic campaigns and PACs. In the last election cycle Hoffman donated $7 million to Democratic groups, though his money also sneaks its way into non-traditional groups that aren’t mandated to report their funding and often operate in the shadows.

One of these groups is American Engagement Technologies (AET), a firm run by former Obama appointee Mikey ["Mike-Mike"] Dickerson, which received $750,000 from Hoffman and was part of the effort to falsely portray the Republican’s senate bid as being supported by the Kremlin.

Meanwhile, the left is trying to implicate Trump for the very same thing.

"Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn said he found out that telling someone you’re buying a house in New Zealand is “kind of a wink, wink, say no more,” when it comes to survivalism."

“I find the tactics that have been recently reported highly disturbing. For that reason, I am embarrassed by my failure to track AET – the organization I did support – more diligently as it made its own decisions to perhaps fund projects that I would reject,” he said in a statement provided to the left-leaning Washington Post.

“I want to be unequivocal: there is absolutely no place in our democracy for manipulating facts or using falsehoods to gain political advantage,” he added after being caught being involved in manipulating facts.

Hoffman said AET went on to facilitate a secret project with a budget of $100,000. One participant in the project was Jonathon Morgan, the chief executive of New Knowledge, a firm that wrote a report – released by the Senate Intelligence Committee in early December – about Russia’s social media operations in the 2016 election and its efforts to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.

Yes, it was always the other way around.

Democratic operatives created thousands of fake Russian accounts on Twitter and began following Moore, prompting attention from local and national media that falsely suggested Russia is backing Moore’s candidacy.

The project also involved creating a Facebook page and imitated conservative Alabamians who weren’t satisfied with the Republican candidate while encouraging others to write in another candidate.
