You should take this with a truckload of salt. There is zero mention of who exactly has "linked" what accounts to Russia, yet there have been repeated discredited claims that have shown that "suspicious" accounts are nothing more than people critical of Hillary Clinton and US imperialism in Syria.

That's where I quit reading. "Fake news" indeed.
