Why only mention pro-Trump bots though? There were (and _still are_) tons of pro-HRC bots as well, synchronously posting identical text and passing it off as their own tweets. They aren’t even trying to hide it much.

Creator here! We do identify bot-like activity on both sides of the spectrum (pro-hillary and pro-trump).

The question wasn’t actually addressed to you, but to the author of the article linked to the post.

They’re also pushing the “Russian interference” narrative, but as far as I can tell your product can’t point out the source.
