Honestly I can’t take some social media behavior all that seriously. If it’s illegal fine, prosecute them. They were agitating against Trump also. In the vast enterprise of the presidential election I cannot see how their efforts were significant.

“St Petersburg. Isn’t that in North Dakota?”

Well, there’s a St.Petersburg in Florida, but I just imagine that this St.Petersburg is Russia’s second largest city which for a number of years was renamed Leningrad.

So when do the Euro trolls and news agencies get charged for propagandizing the American public in favor of liberal candidates and issues?

Oh right...that’s different.

Free speech is now a crime?

And top of that, collusion is not even front and center.

Looks like Russia, Russia and Russia is a wash.

And liberals are nowhere near to building an impeachment case against Trump.

None of the named Russian nationals will ever stand trial here.

With the traitorous likes of sorozNazi and his puppets or useful idiots like obammy pelousy HilLIARy and mcshame and —- we don’t need any help from a few Russian Facebook contributors for us to distrust Washington DC. The idea is ludicrous If djt doesn’t shut down this investigation farce now, he’s hopeless and will see his presidency completely undermined. Lock stock and barrel.

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

Or maybe Ivanna Humpalot from Austin Powers?

The 13 individual defendants and three Russian entities are accused of engaging in operations to "spread distrust" in the US and its democratic systems.

If this were a crime our FBI and IRS and media would ALL be in jail.

Exactly! And running a troll factory was a campaign tactic started by David Axelrod and Obama’s full-time troll factory, Organizing On America.

It reads like an onion article.

Sad but true.

“accused of engaging in operations to “spread distrust” in the US and its democratic systems”
Why does this sound like something China would charge somebody with?

The official statement officially says this didn't effect the election in any way.

Natasha is supposedly the only child of Axis Sally and Count Dracula. A former Miss Transylvania, she was expelled from college for subversive activities at a local cemetery. She traveled from Transylvania to the United States at the age of 19, landing in New York, where she spent two years posing for Charles Addams and as the party girl who pops out of the big cake at embalmers’ stag parties

I guess the “Ham Sandwichski” insisted on pleading innocent.

When are they going to indict CNN for trying to suppress the Middle America vote with their fake reporting?

Bill Clinton gets 500k for “a speech”, the Clinton Foundation takes in MILLIONS from Russians.... and crickets...

Meanwhile some internet hacksters are breaking news in the USA with the media slobbering about illusions of something that isn’t there.... but the real stuff is IGNORED.

Give me a break...
