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.

Agree. This is a joke. Torquemada Mueller and his acolytes must go.

I’ve yet to hear or read about one person who voted for Trump due to Russian influence.

The indictments are for the Russians that were arrested in Asia running the ID and money laundering operations. Q advised us of this take down.

Russians rightly despise both the Clintons and Obamas because they are Muslim sycophants. Actually, Obama is very clearly a closet Muslim. Outside of the Islamic pigs, nobody likes Muslims.

“...supporting the presidential campaign on then-candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton”: NOW A CRIME!?!

But living in the U.S. as an illegal alien and participating directly in political rallies and protests is not a problem?

Defendants “communicated with ***unwitting individuals*** associated with the Trump campaign”.

I forgot about the Israel election interference. Thanks for pointing that out. It’s a more valid comparison. But two solid examples - Obama himself interfering / influencing the BREXIT vote and direct US interference in the Israel election.

I’m sure this hypocrisy is going to be called out soon.

NICE! Indict people who you are totally certain will not fight back. After all, it's the accusation that counts, just the accusation. New 21st Century American Justice: "Guilty by Accusation!"

It is important for the nation to understand what these guys actually did.

And what their associations and allegiances actually were.

DO NOT trust Mueller, the FBI or anyone else in this matter.

These indictments have a political purpose, and that’s to support a narrative of the swamp.
