I curious, why is it a crime for Russians to troll US Elections?
Under Obama the US Government actively tried to influence elections in Europe, Israel and Egypt.
Yet is is crime for someone to do it back to us? Is this what the Media/Political class think?
Or is it they hate anyone who upsets their ability to control the flow of information to the US People?
The alleged crimes are FEC and FARA violations. Trolling is not a violation. The inditement is filled with gratuitous facts, facts that have NO BEARING on the alleged criminal conduct.
the Russian actors failed to register as foreign agents conducting political activity in the U.S., and made expenditures related to the election without properly disclosing them.
Everything done would have been legal if they had correctly disclosed who they were, in the ads; and if they had registered under FARA (which is a joke, all sorts of foreigners lobby Congress without registering, and nobody gives a hoot about that).
Two good "Law & Crime" web pages to read on the subject...

Bingo. They don’t want people to know this is business as usual, but they took it to another level by tying a US Election into a foreign government aiding them...
Pure BS...
