Russian intelligence officers allegedly launched a website in June 2016 to release emails stolen from Clinton campaign officials, special counsel Robert Mueller alleged in an indictment released Friday.
Mueller alleges that the Russian officers initially registered the domain for DCLeaks.com in April 2016, and launched the site “[o]n or about June 8, 2016.”
“Starting in or around June 2016 and continuing through the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the Conspirators used DCLeaks to release emails stolen from individuals affiliated with the Clinton Campaign,” the indictment reads.
The complaint also alleges that officers used the site to release documents stolen in the past, including those from people affiliated with the Republican Party.
The allegations were included in Mueller's indictment of 12 Russian military officers for the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Mueller's investigation into Russian efforts to meddle in the election have focused on a number of other events in the spring and summer of 2016.
One of those events, held June 9, 2016, was the infamous Trump Tower meeting between a Russian lawyer and several top Trump campaign officials.
President Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. agreed to the meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya after British music producer Rob Goldstone told him that Veselnitskaya had damaging information on Hillary Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.”
“If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer,” Trump Jr. replied to Goldstone in an email.
Veselnitskaya later reportedly told the Senate Judiciary Committee that she did not work for the Russian government and only met with Trump Jr. to discuss Russian sanctions imposed under the Magnitsky Act.
Despite her testimony, she told NBC News earlier this year that she had worked as an "informant" for the Russian government.
Mueller's indictments released Friday come just days before President Trump is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki for a bilateral summit.
Trump has faced pressure from lawmakers to bring up Russian efforts to meddle in the 2016 election when he sits down with Putin on Monday.
Russia has repeatedly denied interfering in the election.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Friday that Trump was "fully aware" of the latest indictments in the Russia probe ahead of the president's trip to meet Putin.
"Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:
Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it's important for him to give me space."
Medvedev: "Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ..."
Obama: "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."
Medvedev: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."
"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility." That statement tells us much about the president's mindset.
The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration.
Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president's comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.
In addition, there is the phrase "on all these issues," implying more is at stake than just missile defense."
Article: Obama plans double cross on missile defense
When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldn't be too flexible:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/29/obama-plans-double-cross-on-missile-defense/print/
Appeasement: From ObamaCare to recess appointments, honoring the Constitution has not been an administration hallmark. But when it comes to betraying secrets to mollify the Russians, it becomes a document the president hides behind.
It was bad enough that the 2012 defense authorization bill signed by President Obama set America on a downward spiral of military mediocrity.
He also issued a signing statement, something he once opposed, saying that language in the bill aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on the U.S. Standard Missile-3 - linchpin of our missile defense - might impinge on his constitutional foreign-policy authority.
Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they'd be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.
The president is required to certify that any technology shared will not be passed on to third parties such as China, North Korea or Iran, that the Russians will not use transferred secrets to develop countermeasures and that the Russians are reciprocating in sharing missile-defense technology. ..."
"In his signing statement, Obama said he would treat these legal restrictions as 'non-binding' and that 'my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 (sic) in a manner that does not interfere with the president's constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.'
Betraying our secrets is easy for a president who betrayed allies Poland and the Czech Republic to placate Moscow.
Poland was to host ground-based interceptors such as those we've deployed in California and Alaska, with missile-tracking radar deployed in the Czech Republic.
Obama pulled the plug when Moscow objected. Never mind, he said, we have a better approach: a four-phase plan that calls for using three versions of the Navy's Standard SM-3 interceptor missile that forms the backbone of its Aegis missile-defense system.
The fourth phase consists of a missile still on the drawing board scheduled for deployment by 2020, a version of the SM-3 called the Block IIB. It would intercept hostile missiles in the "early intercept" phase before an enemy missile could release its warheads and decoys. The Russians want the SM-3's secrets, and Obama appears to be willing to turn them over.
The president wants to save the New Start Treaty, which the Russians have threatened to abandon if we try to fully implement President Reagan's dream of defeating a nuclear missile attack.
Russia has unilaterally asserted that any qualitative or quantitative improvement in U.S. missile defenses would be grounds for withdrawal from the treaty.

"according to some calculations, the Uranium One deal, involving top Clinton donors Frank Guistra and Ian Telfer, has transferred as much as 50 percent of projected American uranium production to Kremlin control."
***********************************************
RUSSIAGATE
Who paid Bill Clinton's $2.5 million commission and $500k speaking fee for brokering the sale of 20% of America's uranium deposits to Russia?
You are speaking about a really interesting deal that ended up giving Vladimir Putin and the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States.
Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. ..."
I want absolute proof that this website was the first to release the truthful emails that the DNC was sand bagging Bernie Sanders. I never heard of DCLEAKS. I absolutely reject this and believe it is a fabrication. BTW— Did the American people did not have the right to know that the DNC sand bagged Bernie Sanders?? read this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4034038/Ex-British-ambassador-WikiLeaks-operative-claims-Russia-did-NOT-provide-Clinton-emails-handed-D-C-park-intermediary-disgusted-Democratic-insiders.html
SANDERS!
I hope each and everyone of the persons named in the indictment show up and defend themselves.
At the end of the day it really comes down to who you believe and the choices aren’t admittedly grand.
One the one hand, Julian Assange insists that his source was not a governmental agency or connected in any way to the Russian government. As a matter of fact, he has practically said it was an inside job.
On the other hand the FBI and the other notables insist it was a Russian intel job. Mueller is insistent on it. After all, his very existence as a special counsel depends on it.
The timing is more sinister than that.
The Deep State is trying to force Trump to cancel his meeting with Putin.
Obama is such a treasonous creep. He should have been impeached and convicted for that, alone, but very few Americans ever HEARD it, since the MSM buried it, and the rest of us are obviously conspiracy theorists. Besides, what justice department would have gone after him...his? That’s a laugh. And not the current one, either, as Rosenstein clearly said, today, that no Americans were involved. Maybe after the midterms, when we can get a REAL justice department and FBI...
Louie Gohmert knows, though, doesn’t he? Lord, please protect him, I pray, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

I played part of Hannity off the DVR last night.
Louie Gohmert is terrific. He’s had enough of the nonsense and the outright lying.
Good idea to pray for his protection.
and the left hacked our borders causing millions of fraudulent votes in elections over the last two decades by illegals.
Where the heck is Jeff Sessions?
DJT will use this to get a better deal with Vlad.
yet the actual frauds and cheats and stealing of elections is done by them while complaining no loss the suffer is real.
amazing huh
Putin gets to expose the comical charade in a circus-like trial.
If he's convicted, the hapless criminal gets a better prison life here in the U.S. than he would have had back in Russia.
I'm actually surprised this hasn't happened already with the other case.
This is all on the dnc for being so careless, or intentionally so, and allowing foreign nations access.
Podesta’s login password?
hilLIAR’s secret unsecured email server?
This is where the blame belongs. Why not hack total idiots if you’re Russia? Imagine the laffs they had reading this s***
Gross negligence on the part of Podesta... Also you won’t hear a word about how Obama sanctioned efforts to interfere with other countries elections. Cant hurt the Messiah....
[Look up Obama’s meddling in the Israeli elections to stop Bib from getting elected!! What, no one talking about that?]
