Keep in mind - total spent on the 2016 election according to CBS was $6.8 Billion [1].

In that context, how could $100,000 of FB ads (0.001%) possibly be relevant?

Speculating that it might possibly be relevant if we hypothetically were to discover it was 100x bigger than we currently know, to me that defeats the whole argument.

"Big if true!" is the rallying cry of the whole Russiagate fiasco. "Big if Bigger!" is just the next contortion.
