since an awful lot of people were and are anti-Trump, not needing much encouragement or outside organizing to have a rally.

At least according to the indictment:

Defendants and their co-conspirators, through another ORGANIZATION-controlled group,
organized a rally in New York called “Trump is NOT my President” held on or about November
12, 2016.

The organization-controlled group must have been one of the unwitting American individuals and group
As as mentioned...or not unwittingly, as the indictment also mentions "names known and known to the jury."

All kind of like peering through a still foggy window.

17. Big shakes in RW world - Michael Moore attended an anti-Trump Russian bot promoted rally 11/12/16
Tue Feb 20, 2018, 09:45 PM

This is THE story in Foxworld. Rush, Hannity, etc.

The indictment of the Russians included a mention of a rally "on or about November 12th 2016" - it either said at Trump Tower or in NYC. Michael More attended it and tweeted that Trump wouldn't come down.

CNN and MSNBC covered it during the 12-5 time period. Fox News only covered it for 66 seconds. I heard all this on Hannity's show a few minutes ago. Really specific and packaged don't you think?

They are hammering this home to the believers all day.

One event. Promoted by Russian bots (not created). Ignore all the other events that Republicans went to. Ignore the rest of the indictment. Ignore Fox News hosting Teabagger rallies in 2009. Ignore daily coverage on MSM of the teabaggers and continually mentioning the brother BS.

even post election.

The propagandists are trying to twist the strong points but Mueller did a "talking indictment" for a reason.

See para.1 to 6 and most para. 6 that shows this.

Without Fox and Republicans beholden to Fox Shitler and henchmen would have been gone by last summer.

23. I just re-read the indictment.
Tue Feb 20, 2018, 10:01 PM
Feb 2018

It says: "...Defendants and their co-conspirators organized a rally in New York through one ORGANIZATION-controlled group designed to "show your support for President-Elect Donald Trump" held on or about November 12, 2016. At the same time, Defendants and their co-conspirators, through another ORGANIZATION-controlled group, organized a rally in New York called "Trump is NOT my President" held on or about November 12, 2016."

In other words, they organized two opposing rallies taking place at the same time in the same city, after the election. The indictment is very clear that with only a few exceptions, most of the Russian activities were intended to boost Trump and/or harm Clinton.

It was one rally out of many that the Trumpskulls fell for.

""Organized" in this case means - Hey! We're meeting here.

all a massive push for Shitler and anti-Trump.

The Mueller talking indictment is all we need to talk about the actual now vast RW and foreign aided conspiracy.

... that the Russians aren’t targeting the American left. They’re targeting America generally. After Trump won, he’s just as much a platform to promote chaos and disunity as anyone else. They don’t want Trump to succeed either.

Not that hard to figure out.
