From the article: “They also discouraged minority groups from voting and used Facebook advertisements to promote allegations of voter fraud by the Democratic Party.

Using social security numbers and birth dates belonging to genuine Americans, the defendants fraudulently opened Paypal accounts and obtained fake driver’s licenses.”

I find these indictments amateurish.

The perps....................

So when does Obama and ValJar get indicted for interfering in Israel’s election by trying to unseat Netanyahu?

[ThePatriotsFlag]

I can’t believe this “nothingburger” was so breathlessly offered by Rosenstein ... what a JOKE! What’s more important, a Russian dissing Trump on Twitter or ONE ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTING? Pick it!

[robroys woman]

St Petersburg. Isn’t that in North Dakota?

[MeganC]

Does the USA really expect the Russians to give these people up?

[BenLurkin]

Ah yes, CGI0ski created these fake gifs to make Hillary look bad...

[Savage Rider]

Seems like the only thing illegal here is identity theft.

[xzins]

Does this mean the investigation is over?

So when does Obama and ValJar get indicted for interfering in Israel’s election by trying to unseat Netanyahu?

Or consider this foray by a career State Department operative:

Hungary & The Internationalist Betrayal of America.

The FBI is still looking for Russian agents by the names of Yuri Nassholey and Ivanna Spanku for posting disinformation on Facebook

If you see these criminals, please call the FBI immediately.

[robroys woman]

It reads like an onion article.

i.e. everything - Every single thing - they were doing was to help Trump and the far right and hurt the deep state. It’s comical.

Good luck with those extraditions, Junior G-Men......

[McGruff]

Somebody find out the total cost of this investigation and divide by 13 to find cost in dollars per Russian. No Bitcoins please.

[samtheman]

Trying to justify the stupidest investigation in history

[gibsonguy]

This strikes me as a crock. As if a few fake ads on Facebook amount to anything. Distraction big time. Of course there was Roseweasel presenting. Try firing him now. Trump should have fired him 2 weeks ago when he could have.

I don’t see the crime. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech of individuals within the country, even foreign nationals. It’s illegal for foreign citizens to contribute to American election campaigns, but there is no law saying they can’t create social media accounts and advocate whatever political positions they want.
