A who's who of conspiracy theorists have been attempting to spin portions of a recently released transcript of #Crowdstrike president Shawn Henry's 2017 testimony to the House Intelligence Committee as evidence that the DNC emails weren't stolen via a hack.

(More on the supposed "bombshell" revelation here - it's based on selective readings of small portions of the transcript.)
The #Crowdstrike traffic is being driven by fringe journalists (mostly right-wing, with the exception of the most-retweeted account, @aaronjmate), #QAnon influencers (@tracybeanz, @prayingmedic), and @rexxurection, the 5th incarnation of a popular fake #MAGA account.
(More on the earlier incarnations of Rex/@rexxurection. The operator has apparently decided that tweeting contradictory claims about their own back story is no longer a good plan.)
Who's tweeting about Crowdstrike? Based on the hashtags used in their profiles (#MAGA, #KAG, #WWG1WGA etc), it's almost all right-wing accounts, which is interesting given that almost a fifth of the traffic (10969 of 56902 tweets, 19.3%) is retweets of a left-wing journalist.
The media sources linked from the Crowdstrike tweets also skew heavily right-wing. Just The News (founded in 2020 by right-wing columnist and Biden/Ukraine conspiracist @jSolomonReports), Gateway Pundit, and Epoch Times are the three most frequently linked sources. #AltWankers

It's a Saturday in May, and an armada of spamtastic pornbots is taking an interest in geometry.

This may be the largest pornbot network we've yet encountered; 12940 accounts have posted 539599 tweets since May 1st, almost exclusively via Mobile Web (M2). All usernames consist of a first name followed by an underscore and 5 digits, and display names are in block letters.
A significant majority of this network's traffic (90.5% of tweets since May 1st) is handled by the same datacenter, a potential indicator that the accounts are being run from the same location or internet connection.

The seventh installment of the ongoing series of #InItTogether QAnon spam campaigns is underway. We're taking notes, of course. #FridayFeeling #QAnonsense #AltWankers

They managed to (mostly) start at the correct time. 2124 accounts posted 7923 tweets containing both #InItTogether and #JusticeIsComing in the first ten minutes of the spam campaign, mostly via organic-looking sources.
Twenty minutes in, let's take a look at languages. The bulk of the tweets are English, but there's a noticeable Japanese presence as well; 509 tweets (3.9% of total) from 155 accounts (5.5% of total) thus far. Most of the "unknown" tweets consist of only the hashtags and a meme.

Meet @FrankGalvin9, @JazzyLife3, and @qxzito1, a trio of accounts tweeting oddly identical commentary on the #coronavirus crisis and other topics on oddly identical schedules. A lot of left-leaning accounts are following them, btw.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
Although these three accounts theoretically post all their tweets via the Twitter website or Android phone app, we suspect the website tweets (Twitter Web App/Client) are actually automated, as all three activate in sync every morning and tweet the same content.
Did we mention that @FrankGalvin9, @JazzyLife3, and @qxzito1 tweet the same content a lot? 3193 tweets have been tweeted verbatim by all three accounts (sometime more than once); 621 more were tweeted by at least two.
