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.

Exactly!

Illegals have been given a pass for so long in the electoral process but you have Russians interacting on social medias about the presidential elections and they have the gall to make a FEDERAL case out of that?

It’s mind-numbing stupid and massively hypocritical is what it is.

What’s troubling is, nothing in this indictment matches the DNI ICA report of 01/06/2017.
That report does not contain the classified background info that supports the report.
It also doesn’t contain anything remotely resembling those indicted.

Not only that, we have illegals protesting in the streets up to 100,000 at a time. That is to impact public opinion and support for Leftist politicians who will in turn support them.

Where are the indictments?

Very embarrassing these people, they are. The force is weak with this bunch. Pay it is well though for work so silly.

Yoda, the attorney.

So in legal terms these Russians are being charged with bank fraud and identity theft. Gee wiz. That is half of Memphis or Philadelphia using EBT cards.

The Mainstream Media must be mighty scared if they think a group of a dozen Russians behind keyboards can sway more voters than the piles of stories they spew out for Democrats do every election cycle.

Their cheerleading of these indictments shows how weak they know they are.

Mueller loves cashing those huge govt checks-——he’ll do anything to keep his job.

Now he’s indicting b/c the Ruskis made belittling remarks about candidate Hillary on the internet.

I guess anybody posting on FR who has a Russian surname, is next.

“conveniently this drops the day we find out the FBI got advance notice of the shooting and did nothing.”

[pardon my all caps]

THE FBI CANNOT FIND THE TIME OR RESOURCES TO PURSUE TIPS ABOUT THE DANGEROUS RANTING OF A SCHOOL BOY WHO IS THREATENING TO KILL CLASSMATES, BUT THEY HAVE UNLIMITED TIME AND RESOURCES TO PURSUE A FAKE TRUMP COLLUSION MEME OF OVERTLY PARTISAN POLITICAL HACKS IN THE DOJ. WHEN WILL THEY BE CHARGED WITH PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE, BY FAILING TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT WHILE WASTING TIME AND RESOURCES ON AN IMAGINARY CYA PLOT BY THE DNC, HILLIARY CULTISTS, AND RESISTANCE MOVEMENT TO EXONERATE HILLIARY AND THE DNC FOR BOTCHING THEIR 2016 ELECTION CHANCES BY PUTTING THE FIX IN FOR HILLIARY OVER BERNIE SANDERS DURING THE PRIMARIES?

Mueller will turn the screws to get them to take down Trump. Do not trust that snake.

Or the mayors, city councils, law enforcement heads who allow sanctuary cities to go on?

It's pretty crazy the amount of hypocrisy going on.

If he is indicting Russians for “The nationals had a strategic goal to sow discord in the U.S. political system, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” and “They want to undermine public confidence in democracy,” he HAS to indict Democrats for the same crimes!

Rosenstein explained that “We must not allow them to succeed.”

“They want to undermine public confidence in democracy,”

Says Rosenstein as he suggests that a mere 13 Russians with a computer can alter the results of our elections.

If that is the contention, if that is illegal, then LIEberal Democrats need to be indicted for undermining public confidence in democracy!

If I remember correctly, the Mexican government ran voter-registration drives out of their consulates around the country. Why was that outrage tolerated?
