ASSANGE: Twitter bots boosting McCain attacks on FISA memo release, Trump

U.S. Sen. John McCain gets a lot of love on social media, but it’s fake and intended to attack President Trump, according to Julian Assange.

The WikiLeaks founder noted on Twitter today that bots are supporting the Trump critic and darling of Democrats.
Twitter bots, disguised as Americans, attack FISA memo and Trump; promote warhawk McCain.
Assange posted screen captures of several of examples of what he calls bot activity.

They show several accounts tweeting the same article, titled “John McCain just made a startling public accusation against Trump amid phony Nunes memo release,” at exactly the same time.

One Twitter user, @LoudaCristy, pointed to a suspicious-looking site called “LineJournal.org.”

That website published a pro-McCain article reporting on his criticism of Trump.

So did @milenbu and @DaryaBoyko4, as well as @petrina_liza.

That Vietnam Traitor deserves NO love!
He is a traitor to the GOP, the American people, and the President of the USA!
I am so glad he is dying, and I read Brain Cancer is painful, so much better!

He also betrayed the POWs left in Southeast Asia after the Vietnam war by aiding in the coverup. The sooner he's gone the better.
