Mueller is tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and any potential collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians. This mandate gives the special counsel ample imperative to study an array of links between Trump, Trump associates, and Russia, in a list of concerns that seems to grow by the day. The pace and intensity of this investigation was only highlighted by the recent release of the indictment and guilty plea of Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who admitted under oath lying to the FBI about his multiple contacts with Russians during the campaign, and acknowledged that the Russians informed him that they possessed “thousands of emails” hacked from Democrats well before any public knowledge of the fact.1 Papadopoulos admitted that he shared information about his Russian contacts and desire to broker meetings with the Russians with his Trump campaign supervisors.

By John Scott Willey, B.A. Washington, DC December 9, 2011 Copyright 2011 by John Scott Willey All Rights Reserved ii THE DECENTRALIZED SOCIAL MOVEMENT: HOW THE TEA PARTY GAINED RELEVANCY IN THE NEW MEDIA ERA John Scott Willey, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Diana M. Owen, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This research explores how a decentralized social movement evolved into an effective political apparatus. A central claim of this research is that the Tea Party movement has been politically influential because of its decentralization. This research suggests that the Tea Party’s decentralized structure made it necessary to operate within decentralized online echo chambers. The original research includes a content analysis of a Tea Party candidate’s Twitter account, a content analysis of 300 e-mails sent by a leading Tea Party group, and a content analysis of the September 2011 Republican primary debates, including one that was dubbed the CNN-Tea Party Republican Debate. The findings suggest that the Tea Party movement in December 2011 is fundamentally different than the movement that first emerged in January of 2009. In order to stay politically influential, the decentralized Tea Party movement became more centralized. These findings suggest that the Tea Party movement’s future political relevance is relative and depends entirely on how the movement continues to evolve.
