Trying to find satirical tweet about Trump/Russia/Mueller

March 1, 2023 6:28 PM

I saw a tweet (relatively recently, but the tweet itself is probably a few years old) that sort of satirized how difficult-to-follow many of the allegations surrounding Donald Trump and Russia that emerged in the Robert Mueller investigation were. It's impossible to Google, but perhaps you know the one I mean.

The most I can say is that it featured some breathless statements like, "Zborgninsky to testify! He was responsible for original connection to Penrose and Ruskov," etc.—basically, a super-dense set of names and information that could only be made sense of if you either obsessively followed Mueller or had a Field Guide to the Special Counsel Investigation™ handy. Sorry I can't recall more!

Best answer: Was it Gorpman and Bleemer?

Response by poster: Ah, I see why I had thought it was a tweet: As the TNR piece notes, it appears that Clickhole may have been, ah, inspired by a tweet cited in that article (but no longer linkable).
