The Justice Department on Friday indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups of violating criminal laws with the intent to interfere with "with U.S. elections and political processes", according to agency.

According to the agency, "the indictment charges all of the defendants with conspiracy to defraud the United States, three defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, and five defendants with aggravated identity theft."

The indictment says that some defendants "communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign" without revealing their association with Russia. The indictment also says the defendants posted negative information about a number of candidates during the last general election.

"Defendants operations included supporting the presidential campaign on then-candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton" his Democratic rival, according to the indictment.

According to the indictment, this started in 2014 long before Trump declared as a candidate. And why would they support Trump, a candidate that no one gave a chance to win right up until election day?

Hillary spent over one billion dollars on her campaign. The Russians spent "millions" trying to influence our election. To what end?

The indictment reads like a political document. The very people who wrote it were Hillary supporters and donors. A very curious indictment indeed. Weissmann has his fingerprints all over it.

“The move is for the mid terms. Mueller won’t stop.”

The bullet in the chamber here is a dud.

Await the illumination on the corruption which is going on apace. Remember, we have the OIG report from Horowitz anticipated in March to the public and the bombs will certainly be following.

That corner will only be one phase as the fog horn is clearly being heard in the distance and we can expect a lengthy list of actual criminality to be targeted with a second special counsel appointment.

That will include Uranium One, the Clinton Foundation and perhaps the numerous investigations into classified leaks by the dozens. The latter may be expedited under AG Sessions separately but it’s going to happen.

The Mueller investigation will be derailed for Bob Mueller if the Uranium One scandal is announced. Mueller’s ties to that investigation will preclude him from continuing the phony Russia Collusion Hoax investigation.

Not sure if anyone will pick up the ball from there for Mueller. Pray for our Republic and ask for protection of President Trump, his family and all who serve this nation as patriots in support of our Constitution.

Yep, agree, Mueller’s exit ramp.

So, will other countries reciprocate and charge Obama & clan for interfering in their past elections? Possible unintended consequences which proggies are famous for?

“Soon they will indict anyone who says anything positive about President Trump”

With the type of clowns that are prevalent in a DC federal grand jury, anythings possible.

Al Gore invented the internet a long time ago so are we to believe that nobody did this when Barry O was selected?

“They indicted Russian Internet Trolls lolol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

That’s exactly what they did...and all they did.

What a waste of money and time...and terribly damaging to the new President for more than a year.

So the FBI can track down Russian Internet trolls but they can’t track down a “professional school shooter” when he was handed to them in advance on a silver platter.

And the FBI was DUPED by a FAKE RUSSIAN DOSSIER AGAINST TRUMP to obtain FISA warrants to SPY ON TRUMP!

Oh WAIT, that's not in the indictment!

So after all this time and money all Muller can produce is a hand full of indictments against some Russian internet trolls who are not even in this country.

I want our tax payer money back.
