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.

If this isn’t, Orwell’s 1984, what the hell is?
In effect, if you supported a non-establishment candidate, Trump, Sanders or Cruz, you were a dupe of the Russians
If you supported Hillary - you are a good American.
Its the Grand Jury that handed down the indictments, not Mueller or Rosenstein. The President got 4% of the vote in the District of Columbia. Clinton got 90%. So imagine who is on a DC Grand Jury and who will be on a DC criminal trial jury panel.
Carlos Slim and all of the illegal immigrants that have come through our Southern borders!
The indictment says the defendants and their co-conspirators used fictitious online personas to interfere with the 2016 presidential election in the United States.
Didn’t Hillary have facebook volunteers doing the same thing?
Yeah, that worked great for Bernie.
This would be a nice way for Mueller to end his job with the least amount of embarrassment to himself.
Well the FBI was all keystone cops in the Clinton investigation. It was all “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,” and exonerate them beforehand, believe Bill and Loretta Lynch just met accidentally and talked grandchildren, Clinton and her people who were targets were allowed to be interviewed in illegitimate ways, Clinton not under oath IIRC, Comey downgrading his conclusion so it wasn’t a legal one, and on and on. But there are no “ahahs!” from the mainstream media Democratic PACs on any of that.
The internet is and was FULL of anti-Trump trolling.
Where’s MuleHead on that?
You win the Internetz today, great point!
Russians held Rallies against Trump.Collusion!!!!
So we have now gone from collusion and obstruction to using fake names on Facebook.
Lord, this is embarrassing.
Hillary and Obama were complicit benefactors of foreign money. Obama accepted money from anywhere in the world via the Internet during his election campaign. Gee where was the FBI and Rosenstein in 2008?
Yes, that’s right. What a joke our country is. Here we are supposed to be the beacon of freedom to the world and we bring legal action against foreign bloggers!
Agreed.
Three big takeaways for me were that NO Americans were aware that they might be dealing with Russians (positive for the Trump campaign), the outcome of the election was NOT affected in any way, and the organization(s) indicted held both pro and anti-Trump rallies simultaneously in NYC (ergo, no evidence of anything but sowing confusion).
I am speechless, millions of dollars for some Russian bloggers?
This was announced because the left lost control of the shooting story.
Think Jason Bourne.
