A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia on Friday indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities accused of interfering in U.S. elections.

The announcement came from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

According to the special counsel, the indictment charges 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.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is scheduled to hold a press conference Friday afternoon.

I hope Mueller is done now but I doubt it.

Not until he throws the book at Bannon for not shaving.

Quietly awaiting Vicente Fox’s indictment.

Ham sandwiches worldwide are alarmed.

The way it’s worded, I suspect this may be the end of the investigation or close to it. It was careful to point out that any conversations Trumps people had with them were done without knowledge of them working for “the Russians”.

I think the fact that they bothered to call it out at all is where my position gets most of its foundation.

"Never mind that it has very rarely, if ever, been enforced. Especially in the case of Democrats of the modern era like the Clintons and Obama."

Not to mention the fact that they'll never get their hands on any of these Russians. So if you're right, and this is Mueller's exit plan, it'll end without so much as a single trial.

So we’re going to arrest 16 Russians? Yeh...right.

Doesn’t ANYONE recall Bammy speaking to TWO MILLION Germans in Berlin in 2008?

THAT WAS NOT A “FREE” SPEECH!!!

[mewzilla]

That’s the one! You rule!

[Sacajaweau]

Whoops....13 Russians

[browniexyz]

I definitely recall being amazed at Obama’s campaign in BERLIN!!!

[Dr.Deth]

Here's a nice starter list of foreigners who should also be under indictment for interfering in the 2016 United States Presidential election by influencing against one candidate to the benefit of the other.

You can just send John Oliver and Trevor Noah straight to Guantananmo as well.

...commit wire fraud and bank fraud and five defendants with aggravated identity theft.

This part is actionable. If they have evidence to back up their claims (I assume they do) this part maters. But it has nothing to do with trump.

It’s a bit like putting out a road block to catch a bank robber and stopping a locked van full of illegal aliens.

So 13 Ruskies making disparaging remarks about Hillary on social media were able to derail a ONE BILLION dollar campaign that had the full support of almost every US major media outlet...ok.

“posed as US citizens and communicated with UNWITTING individuals from the Trump campaign” -— did he just exonerate them?

[mewzilla]

The Feebs let Cruz run amok. I don’t think the Russkies areally too worried.

[fruser1]

"that does not say there will not be more indictments"

It also does not say that bears wear pink underwear.

[AppyPappy]

Best of all, we are arresting 16 Russians for posting stuff on the Internet that either wasn’t true or made Hillary look bad.

I guess George Soros can’t be indicted because he isn’t Russian...

[Faith Presses On]

From reading the things they’re accusing up related to the Russian hoax, it sounds like this is more to have a debate point and narrative, “proof” that Russia interfered.

When is Israel or the UK going to indict Barry for interfering in Bibi’s re-election and anti-BREXIT politicking?

[blackdog]

Investigating crime puts agents into the dangerous position of exposing them to the intolerable "smell of American Wal-Mart Hillbillies".

Federal agents prefer to mingle inside the beltway catering to political campaigns where the smell of power and money masks the stench of the little people.
