A new federal crime: Russian trolling
American Thinker ^ | February 17, 2018 | Gary Gindler

Posted on 02/17/2018 12:42:38 PM PST by WWII_Historian

In 2005, American scientists deliberately sent a rocket to collide with a comet. After the collision, scientists were able to conduct a detailed analysis of the internal composition of the comet from the spectrum of debris ejected from the crater. It was a considerable achievement. But my friend working for NASA commented on this event differently: "You have no idea how many doctoral dissertations were thrown in the toilet yesterday."

We have no idea how many heart attacks occurred in Washington yesterday due to Special Counsel Mueller's indictment. And how many political careers will be thrown into the toilet today.

The creatures of the Washington swamp for the past year have invested almost all of their political capital in fanning the story of Trump's criminal conspiracy with Vladimir Putin. They were helped by the echo chamber of well fed courtier journalists and the higher-ups of the American intelligence agencies. They secured the appointment of a special prosecutor, Mueller, to hold Trump accountable.

In other words, Mueller's investigation was the rocket that was to kick Trump out of the White House.

The rocket's blow was stunning – Mueller's investigation fully vindicated Trump. But Russian internet trolls were selected as the scapegoats.

How many years does someone get behind bars for dissing Cankles? It may be really important to find out right about now...

"What will Obama's Deep State do if Israel and the United Kingdom officially file charges against one of Obama's lieutenants, Jim Messina, for precisely the same interference (and with the same result) in the democratic elections as what the Russians did?"

"In term of prognosis, it looks as though the word "impeachment" will disappear from the lexicon of the inhabitants of the Washington swamp from now on. And all of a sudden, they will be able to see through Christopher Steele's "Russian dossier" on Trump. As if nothing had happened, they will begin to speak as a matter of course of the "active measures" disinformation campaign of the KGB or FSB. Nothing sensational – the Russians have been doing this in the West since the mid-1930s."

"They have had some successes over the years. But not at this time."

I went to the polling place and voted pragmatically. There were no Russians involved.

Were the Russians propping up comrade Sanders or comrade Clintonadoubleknitpantsuitski?

I only remember the manufactured crowd backgrounds at staged events and photo shopped propaganda pictures the press was throwing out there.

And the crowd control at the democrat convention. Razor wire and barricades. That should have been enough notice for any half-wit to recognize the fraud that was trying to be perpetuated.

Indicting 13 foreigners who will never have or see any real justice since they will never be tried in a court of law, essentially Mueller indicted 13 patsies to make an unwarranted investigation into a sitting president seem acceptable. An investigation initiated by allegations still unproven and unverified, bought and paid for by Trumps opponents, and brought to light by a foreign entity.

How rich and how absurd can it get?

I do not understand the opinions that this is the end. Rosenstein repeated the phrase this indictment when he said no evidence of conscious American involvement was present. I believe Mueller is waiting to present Rosenstein with more indictments as soon as his manufactured evidence can be corroborated by more falsified testimony from so called participants.

-- How many years does someone get behind bars for dissing Cankles? --

In the law, all questions are answered with an opening, "It depends." If she loses the election, none. If she wins, ten years to life.

Just like the "Russian interference" investigation. If anybody but Trump had won, there would no investigation into Russia interfering in the election.

How about Italians, Germans, Brits, Aussies, Ukrainians, Poles, Hungarians, other Europeans, Israelis, all Aisans, all Africans, South Americans, and especially Mexicans or Canadians (they can infiltrate so easily as well as troll) trolling, that a crime, too?

What's with the inclusive crowd being so exclusive?

Hey, I'm barricading the doors right now !! I didn't even use a fake name when I called her a crinimal pig who deserved to spend the rest of her life in prison.

There could be synchronized raids on FR posters any day !!

Get the women and children to some protected area, put those parts you don't have in your AR15 and M1 carbine, run out and buy canned beans, tidbits for you dogs and cats plus bottled water and at least fifty pounds of coffee, get a metal fish bowl with a lid, rig the claymores, dig a latrine in your living room floor, scream, run in circles . . . .

Oh, wait, um,

Never mind.

I can’t reveal any more than I already did. I’m just too pretty for prison.

I have a fake DU account. I love to go over there and sow doubt. I have to be careful though. I've had a few posts removed and received a few warnings.

Anyone can go over there and post "Hillary sucks! Trump rules!" and get banned on the spot. What's the fun in that? It's far more enjoyable to be clever about it.

That's what's so absurd about yesterday's indictments. When did it become illegal to set up social media accounts under fake names and troll? And coming on the heels of a school massacre where the FBI was repeatedly notified about the killer's plans only to do nothing about it was shameful.
