Originally Facebook denied that Russians had placed any political ads. Some of them were paid for in RUBLES. They didn't have a clue?

Would that be kinda super dumb not knowing the source when you are being paid IN THE CURRENCY of the country? Seriously folks. Think Facebook is gonna be at the receiving end of a huge Russian-connected investigation. Twitter too no doubt. When all the bots and trolls and phony balonies are exposed what will the ACTUAL number of legit members shrink down to? Talk about "with friends like that you don't need enemies". Accepting bogus ads from a hostile foreign country paid for in their own currency and playing dumb. Anyone buy it?
