On Meet the Press Sunday morning, Representative Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, brought up an issue many of us on BroadwayWorld have been wondering about for several years: Who are these trolls--and is someone paying them to come here and disrupt this site?

 

===

 

CHUCK TODD: But if this is an ongoing investigation by the counter-terrorism unit in the FBI. What do you think Dir. Comey can say publically?

REP. ADAM SCHIFF: Well, on the issue of collusion he'll probably be the most limited in what he can share, but there's a lot he can tell us about the Russian motivations for their intervention in our election, how the Russians operate in Europe, what techniques they use and what we should be on the lookout for in our investigation in Europe and other places we've seen them use blackmail, use compromise, use the natives of those foreign countries that they're intervening in, how they use paid social media trolls, so the full range of Russian intervention and what that looks like. So I think fleshing out why this ought to matter to Americans. I think people need to understand we are in a global war of ideas. It's not communism vs. capitalism, but it is authoritarianism vs. democracy and Putin is very much at the vanguard of that autocratic movement and that ought to concern all of us.

The latest episode of HOMELAND on Showtime deals with this topic.

So that's what all those "work from home and make $1000 a week" ads were for.

As the president likes to say, many people are saying that.
