I mean, to quote the article itself:
"A Twitter account tied to Murphy’s email address promoted nothing but spammy paid surveys for years. And a Skype lookup on his phone number curiously returns a Russian profile under the name валентина сынах (translated as “Valentine Sons”)."
Not saying it's a smoking gun, but it's hardly as baseless as you're claiming.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoAh. I read (I thought) the article, but I apparently got fooled by an ad break, and thought I had reached the end. Still, even if true, that's Murphy. That's not the Dorr brothers, or the Koch site, or the Orange County Republicans. So, even if Murphy is a Russian cutout, much of the rest of this isn't. That leaves anonu's point as somewhat valid - they're still meddling, at least to some degree (and in fact, I kind of presume that they would continue to try to do so) - but his comment still seems like a bit of a reach for a response to the article. One of those registering has a maybe-to-plausible Russian link, so let's veer off and talk about Russian meddling? Yes, we do in fact need to talk about it (and more, find ways to stop it), but this article doesn't seem like the place.
