As Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) recently remined us, Russian attacks on the US

have been going on for years.

Last week, FiveThirtyEight.com published nearly three million tweets sent by handles affiliated with the Internet Research Agency, a Russian "troll factory," Oliver Roeder reported.

Roeder noted that the data was shared with others for analysis.
