A Russian company bought advertisement space on Facebook to support Donald Trump during the campaign. This company is probably paid for by/affiliated to the Russian state. It adds to the list of election meddling by the Russians in favour of Trump.

Facebook has given Mueller data on Russian ads

"Facebook has turned over all information about ads "likely" purchased by Russian operatives to special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a report.

A source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Wednesday that the social media giant had sent the former FBI director data including copies of the ads and the identity of the buyers. That report followed news that an internal Facebook investigation found it is agents of the Kremlin may have spent $100,000 on ads with "divisive messages" between June 2015 and May 2017."

Hillary spent at least $1million on the same exact thing, and that amount is just what was verified. People can blame red herrings, or whatever they'd like (Hillary blames the entire universe), but the fact of the matter is that Hillary had all the kings horses and all the kings men rooting for her, the entire media establishment, and even a prolonged atmosphere of intimidation to stifle Trump supporters, and still couldn't do it.
