SAN FRANCISCO — One hour after news broke about the school shooting in Florida last week, Twitter accounts suspected of having links to Russia released hundreds of posts taking up the gun control debate.
The accounts addressed the news with the speed of a cable news network. Some adopted the hashtag #guncontrolnow. Others used #gunreformnow and #Parklandshooting. Earlier on Wednesday, before the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., many of those accounts had been focused on the investigation by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

So the Russians are Colluding with Shannon Watts, Michael Bloomberg, Gabby Giffords and the Brady Campaign?
We need an Independent Counsel to be empowered to investigate all of them as soon as possible! We cannot allow the meddling of Russians in our internal affairs and those who colluded with them must go to prison!
