It seems the Russians have the same goals for the USA as does the Democratic Party,

I am in agreement. I believe this AG Rosenstein is engaged in what we called CYA. He is becoming part of the Obama/Clinton let’s trick/blame Trump BS. Where are the warrants/charges against the Russians from the 1950’s? They have been trying to overthrow our Gov for 60-90 years. Does this clown think his paper exercise will implore Russia to deport and turn over these Russians to US custody/ USA courts?

TOTAL BS.

After the election, they had pro and anti protesters meet. I’ll heard this on the news. They also tried to push Bernie Saunders over Hillary.

Yeah, I caught that part. It’s why I saw it more as ear candy for the deep state in general. I think Trump and Bernie have that in common - they are enemies of the deep state.

How much is is costing us to hunt down and prosecute Internet trolls?

And this is illegal how?

Last time I checked, the First Amendment protected everyone.

Call me dense too. Obviously I am not as clear headed as the mainstream media who realized Hillary was the ultimate sword rattler when it came to Russia. Guess they forgot the reset button.

Nobody, including the Russians thought Trump could ever win. Freepers excluded.
I don’t know when most of this Russian-bot election interference took place, but if it was during the primaries, then promoting Trump would actually be helping Hillary, because obviously Trump would be the weakest candidate against her or Bernie.

Conversely, it is also possible as the election proceeded that Hillary came across as so weak and incompetent that these “Russian-bots” feared that she could destabilize the world. Even Russians need a sound U.S. economy. Russia likes capitalism now.

Or they were just having fun with our elections in the same way we do here at FR. After all, there’s no crime in expressing free speech is there? Oh yeah, until today.

Agree 100%. I think we must DEMAND all gov employees take a lie detector test and pass to keep job.

16 Russians indicted

10s, 100s, or 1,000s of thousands of Mexican illegal aliens, no indictments.

Russian charged with advocating for Trump and for Clinton.

Mexican illegal aliens vote almost exclusively for Democrats. No indictments.

Illegal aliens are sworn by Leftists to be covered by our U. S. Constitution. Here though, the Russians are charged making it clear they have no first amendment rights.

Obama and Clinton sent U. S. citizens to interfere in Israel and Britain’s elections.

The people they sent over were professional campaign level operatives working for Leftists. I don’t see any hooting an hollering about abuses there.

The charges announced today, are a feakin joke!

Thanks folks.

I mentioned this somewhere else, but there’s also the fact that 100s of thousands of illegals march in our streets to affect change and influence our politicians, as well as voters.

Not a peep against that.

Not to mention that over 90% of all media coverage in the U.S. was anti-Trump...If that wasn't interference in the election, nothing was...

It’s a completely valid comparison. Even more so when you add the fact Mexico’s government works in conjunction with their state side infiltrators. Sprinkle in some Carlos Slim NYT pro illegal alien “news” and you have collusion Russians only dream of.
