4/ “Sullivan described a ‘system’ he devised for creating Twitter ‘swarms’ as ‘an army of sophisticated, hyper-targeted direct tweet automation systems driven by outcomes-based strategies derived from REAL-TIME actionable insights.’”
5/ “For example, at 6:43 AM…on Election Day in 2016, Trump tweeted, ‘TODAY WE MAKE AMERICAN GREAT AGAIN’. Trump’s message soon was RTd more than 343K times.” Sullivan said “the swarm helped overcome a surge in pro-Clinton social media postings & boost voter turnout for Trump.”
9/ Similar to Cheri Jacobus, Laura Krolczyk was subjected to a vicious Twitter storm attack apparently instigated by Mike Caputo. You can learn about it in the HBO documentary 15 Minutes of Shame. What they did to these women is horrifying.
Convicted of perjury 4 lying re: his communications re: Wikileaks (WL), of obstructing justice 4 hiding records re: WL, & of witness intimidation (telling a WL witness to prepare to die)

Recommended Manafort to TFG
Threatened delegates during the 2016 RNC
Warned of a “bloodbath” if Trump lost in 2016
Created a 2016 “Stop the Steal” PAC & site
Is pals w/ Gavin McInnis who conveniently founded the Proud Boys in 2016
Is this the system that Roger Stone protege Mike Caputo & his pals used to terrorize Laura Krolcyzk?! Is this what was used to terrorize @CheriJacobus after she debunked Trump’s “I don’t have a Super PAC” lie? Both were subjected to vicious Twitter swarms. #InformationTerrorism
