Almost a year ago, an automated account called @ImmoralReport first showed up in analysis of #FireRosenstein tweets. It's recurred in a few recent datasets; let's take a closer look at it. . .

All of @ImmoralReport's tweets are posted via an app called "StopMadness2". Searching through tweet datasets from other recent analyses turns up two more accounts using this app: @RightSt82146360 and @StuffLeft. Note the similar sales links on the profiles of all three. 
All three of these accounts operate round-the-clock, though the exact details vary. @ImmoralReport and @RightSt82146360 post all their tweets when the minute of the hour is a multiple of 5, whereas @StuffLeft (mostly) posts when it is a multiple of 8.
A couple of additional connections between the accounts:
- @RightSt82146360 and @StuffLeft were created five minutes apart
- @ImmoralReport is the second account fo follow @RightSt82146360 and the ninth it followed

Two of the bots (@ImmoralReport and @RightSt82146360) are very similar - almost all tweets are RTs of right-wing political material. @StuffLeft is the exception - tweets are all links to sales sites (the other two accounts mostly confine this to their profiles).
