Nothing like a good troll to liven up a briefing on Russian election meddling

On Wednesday, the Senate Intelligence Committee held a briefing to unveil the latest findings in their probe on Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S. election.

But the committee had an interesting way of communicating the, erm, breadth of the investigation.

A graphic presented during the investigation included stats for the number of individuals interviewed, hearings conducted, transcript hours logged, and more. But apparently the committee members felt that their hard work needed some context. The bottom of the graphic noted that the "100K pages of documents read" is equal to "80+ copies of 'War and Peace.'"

Yep, that's the famous Russian epic by Leo Tolstoy, used to illustrate the scope of the probe into Russian interference in the U.S.

It's true that Tolstoy's iconic work on military history and morality is sorta the classic example of a really, really, reallyyy long book. But come on, a Russian book? About warfare? If it walks like a troll and talks like a troll....
