But, in their heart of hearts, the media is certain that this was due to the Trump Campaign!

Were they physically present in the US or was this all done online?

“No evidence suggests...”

Exactly. How is it possible to hack machines? Plus, how about all those foreigners who post on facebook about who they feel deserves to be elected POTUS? It all sounds like a bunch of bull unless they can prove that they can do anything to actually alter elections.

Most of the trolling that has been criminalized was done after the election, not before.

undermine public confidence in democracy," Rosenstein explained. "We must not allow them to succeed."

I missed the part of the indictment where they alleged Facebook, Youtube and Twitter attempted to sway the elections by quashing conservative viewpoints and user accounts.

Despite President Trump dismissing talks of Russian collusion as a “hoax,” CNN’s chief national security correspondent Jim Sciutto said “there has to be read hard proof” in order to pursue indictments like these.


Nice wording spin. Where does this indictment mention collusion?

“Do you believe it now?” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) asked Trump following the news.


Believe what?

So Russians tried to discredit Hillary Clinton?

There is a joke punch line here - still no proof of collusion between the Russians and Trump.

And don’t look for the accused Russians to wind up behind bars anytime soon.

Unless I’m mistaken. This indictment exonerates Trump and his team, and calls it out specifically. Or am I missing something.

This will be Mueller’s swansong of a long public career. He’s going out a laughing stock.

I guess it’s against the law to be Russian and do anything other than give money to Hillary.

There is no There in the indictment!

13 Russian nationals indicted for interfering in US elections!*

The indictment – the first filed against Russian nationals as part of Mueller’s probe – effectively returns focus to the meddling activities out of Russia in the run-up to the 2016 election, following a string of charges relating to the actions of Trump associates.

Further, the DOJ made clear that the indictment does not allege that any of the interference changed the outcome of the presidential race.

“There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election.” - Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein

Rosenstein, though, said that after the election, the group worked both to stage rallies in favor of President-elect Trump and in opposition to his election.

Voting machines aren't connected to the Internet. Only way to "hack" them is direct contact/programming beforehand.
