    Schumer told Warner to back off of Facebook: report

    Who is "colluding with Russia" , again, while being paid $$ TENS of THOUSANDS by Facebook?


    Schumer has significant ties to Facebook. During the 2016 election period, he raised $38,900 from Facebook employees, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That was more than any other senator or congressperson raised from Facebook employees during that cycle.

    Imagine if this were Mitch McConnell....would we be able to ESCAPE THE 24/7 coverage candlelight vigils, and Berkley/Oregon riots?


    And Americans just gave these miscreants control of the House....



    Schumer told Warner to back off of Facebook: report


    Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) reportedly told Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, to back off of investigating Facebook and its role in enabling Russia’s misinformation campaign in the U.S.

    The New York Times reported on Wednesday in a story about Facebook’s internal response to controversies over data privacy and Russian election meddling that Schumer told Warner, who has been the tech platform’s chief antagonist on Capitol Hill, that he should be trying to cooperate with Facebook instead of scrutinizing it.

    A Senate source familiar with the meeting between Schumer and Warner told The Hill that Schumer urged Warner to have the committee focus on issues related to disinformation and future election meddling.

    The source said that Schumer was worried that Facebook may "bow to pressure from the right wing, who opposed Facebook’s purging of fake accounts and bots."

    And when Sandburg testified before the Intelligence Committee on election interference this summer, Facebook’s lobbyists urged members not to ask her about data privacy or the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

    Yeah...Google and Facebook have more actual power than any private entities in history, too, which is not a "good thing" , IMHO.
