What about all the foreign celebrities who campaigned for Hillary? Is that not collusion?

Bottom of p 22, Russians paid for the flatbed with a jail cage on top, and an actor to play Hillary inside. LOL.

The press is going to have a field day with all this new anti-Trump material.

I didn't realize that Mueller was in charge of protecting election integrity. I thought he was looking for crimes perpetrated by the Trump campaign.

And what's up with the focus on the Russians? What about Canadian, Mexican, Chinese, and NK actors? Are we supposed to believe that once we cure the Russian fever, we're cured?

What a bunch of fools we are for putting up with this BS. We pay for this crap too.

“So this is Mueller’s out?”

Sure looks like it. Somehow I don’t think Schiff, Swalwell, etc are going to be pleased....

The individuals operated social media pages and groups designed to attract American audiences with a strategic goal to "sow discord in the U.S. political system".

BLM, Antifa, NAACP, Organizing for Action, Media Matters, SPLC, etc. All the Obama / Soros anarchist groups.

So the memes of the week for the low information voters are gun control and Trump-Russia. No need for a paragraph or two, just the phrases. All aimed at affecting the election outcome on November 6, 2018. What will it be next week?

“Count 43. By 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used their fictitious online personas to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.”
This cant be real. This was written by children with no legal training . I have never seen such abuse of the judiciary.

"Unwitting" is the most important word in the indictment and it absolutely vindicates Trump. However, I still smell a rat here: 1. Watching Rosenstein's presser on this, the message that came through was that he was showcasing the FBI, DOJ and Mueller's competence, effectiveness and fairness. My read was that the primary purpose of the announcement of these charges (and possibly the very reason for filing them in the first place) was to repair the incredible damage they have been reeling from over the last few months. It might be too cynical for some, but I don't think the proximity to the apparent FL shooting botch-up is coincidence, either.

2. There is nothing to indicate that this is the culmination of the Special Counsel's work, meaning that it doesn't mean they won't charge Trump or his people later.

3. Having 13 Russians on the hotseat (regardless of the quality of the cases against them) is a good way to have access to 13 people highly motivated to feed you some crap about Trump Russian collusion in exchange for a deal. Mueller and Co. desperately need someone from Russia itself as a witness to Trump collusion. No matter what else they do, without a direct Russia link, they have no case. Bottom line: too early to celebrate, but it does look good for Trump politically at this particular moment in time.

Just read a part of the indictment.

while they were organizing support FOR Trump, they were also behind protests AGAINST Trump

This creates an interesting dilemma for DACA people.

Following Mueller-logic, if they got actively involved in any form with any campaign then they belong in jail and/or deported.

That won’t stop Schiffhead from lying about it.

And CNN will have him on 12 hours a day now repeating the lies

Yep. It seems to em that Mueller is manufacturing industrial grade BS here.

Sums up the careers of Mueller, Rosenstein and that batsh!t crazy Comey. They're a regular Army of Darkness.

Vicente Fox and his pro-illegal cronies influenced the elections, too. Let’s indict them.

No kidding. Contrast this with Comey reading the serious charges against Hillary and then coming to the conclusion... not a big enough deal ...
