"The other staff mentioned are very incidental. I mean, it seems like they put down all the names they could get. Some were people who worked there in 2014 — but most of these guys didn’t work for the troll factory for a long time. They didn’t even work there during the elections."

It sounds so lame, it seems Mueller could be forced to ride out of town on a rail for it.
The “Black Fist” one sent me laughing my ass off. I can just imagine the Russians seeing Americans getting all riled up over that.
It must have been a BLAST working in that troll farm!
“I read yesterday, I don’t remember where, that Mueller strategically got indictments for people he knew would never get to trial. That would not be good for him.”
That’s a working theory. If someone has the resources to fight him all the way, they’ll be able to spill WIDE OPEN the level of corruption in his little gang.
“It sounds so lame, it seems Mueller could be forced to ride out of town on a rail for it.”
Well, Q is saying that the ‘countdown’ has begun. Didn’t quite say Mueller, but strongly implied it - and that the order will come from the top, very top.
More random stuff - looks like the Russians were out to make Trump supporters look like racist - AND they hated Hillary. Semms they like old Bernie. No surprise there... Bernie honeymooned in Moscow... he’s a socialist from the 60’s when everyone knew it meant ‘communist’...

“Black Matters US” also maintains a Google+ account – which included a post calling Bernie Sanders “the only [candidate] who really cares about people” – and a YouTube account that featured, among other things, a clip calling for viewers to join a #HillaryClintonForPrison2016 flashmob, with the video’s subject torching a piece of paper that says “Hillary Clinton fuck u!!!”

7. Among the largest fake Russian accounts focused on politics, the “Army of Jesus” and “South United” accounts hadn’t been previously reported:
8. Fake Russian social media accounts even targeted Native Americans:
9. And while it hasn’t gotten much attention thus far, Instagram (in red) was just as abused as Facebook and Twitter by these fake Russian accounts:
10. The most popular Twitter account identified as Russian by the RBK investigation was @TEN_GOP, which had previously made its way into The Daily Beast, HuffPo, Fox News, Vocativ, etc.

Works for me.
I’d like to see some decent prison time for these louts.
A Facebook Free-for-all.
Thank you. If Mueller wants to get more indictments, he should check your leads. Impressive!
Those working at the farm understood how gullible their targets were. If you haven’t read post #25, it is worth taking a couple of minutes. I think Mueller might have missed a few of the farm trolls.
"No evidence that it affected the election" is a gross understatment. From the evidence, it is possible to conclude that the is no way on God's green earth that the activity had any impact on the election.
Nothingburger cubed - and for you math whizzes, when a number less than one is squared or cubed, the result is smaller. .04 cubed is .000 064
The thing is - this has been going on for decades, but because of the McCarthy ‘Witch Hunt’ (as the left calls it), no one would ever dive in and expose this, but it came out in the Venona Papers - and once again now, when the Dems thought they could score some political points. Having been to a few as a ‘spectator’, you could always see just how professional organized they were - everyone knew their jobs, signs were professionally made, etc.
Nice to see it FINALLY exposed - I’ve waited a life time for it.
“From what I’ve read these seem like very small crimes with pretty shaky evidence.”
From what I’ve heard, this small-potatoes indictment was thrown together in a few hours’ time solely to draw attention from the FBI being responsible for the deaths of 17 kids. It isn’t actually “a thing”.
And Rosenstein mentioned “THIS indictment”. As Rush mentioned, even though this indictment seems to vindicate Trump, there are others yet to come. They will provide (fabricated?) info to to be used in impeachment if 2018 election turns out well for the Rats. Mueller’s only reason for being is to get PDJT impeached.
Maybe “this indictment” names the “crimes” that supposedly were “obstructed” by POTUS firing Comey.
Many people commented that in Rosenstein’s filing for the Special Counsel, no crime was named. And usually a crime was the reason for a SC investigation.
Just a theory rolling around in my brain.....
Thanks
