Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced on Friday that 12 Russian intelligence officers was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the ongoing Trump-Russia investigation. The officers are members of the GRU, and are all named as having allegedly hacked the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic National Committee, and the Hillary Clinton campaign. CNN reported that prosecutors from Mueller's office and the Justice Department's National Security Division gave a grand jury indictment to a D.C. federal magistrate judge on Thursday morning. The indictment comes just one day before President Trump is set to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki for their first one-on-one meeting
In political warfare, defense is always the losing position. YOU might ignore them, but a good portion of mainstream America won't, and all they will hear is "Trump/Russia Collusion", as though it were true.
Ignoring the issue and refusing to fight is typical of the right, though.
I expect Putin to give Trump a dossier containing several hundred successful Russian intercepts of American hackers attempting to penetrate various computer systems
Then He’ll say, I’ll drop my indictments if you drope yours.
Wrong. Anyone ignoring this is allowing them to control the message. By staying quiet, we allow them to control the messaging. Right now, the message is "Trump/Russia Collusion". The very moment you attempt to refute that message, you are on defense. In political warfare, defense is the losing side.
Even if we assume much of the indictment is true, it's nothing more than the idea that Russia was involved in spying on our politicians. I would presume they've been doing that for decades.
The real nugget is found deep in the indictment,(page 18) where they quote one of the nefarious Russians as saying that "we think Trump has only a 25% chance of winning against Hillary . . . so conflict between Bernie and Hillary is interesting."
This reveals the true motivation of the desire to obtain information about Hillary. They expected her to be the next president, and negative information about her would be useful. It also explains why they might not have devoted resources to finding out more about Trump. They thought he would lose, and getting dirt on him would be a waste of time.
Since they are so concerned about election integrity, next, they will be checking the voting records of Los Angeles county California ( where thousands more voters are registered to vote, than the total number of people who live there), right?.................................................................crickets chirping..............................................
Why does our side always look worthless and weak? I sure as hell hope President Trump has a master plan and is “rope-a-doping” Mueller and the DNC. The FBI,Clinton and Mueller have been giving us the finger since that a**hat Sessions inexplicably recused himself. I have no idea why President Trump did what he did in the beginning by NOT draining the FBI and DOJ swamp while extreme vetting all those employed in his Administration.
Broward Co. Fl., just makes the fills ballots the way they want. You don’t even need voters!.
Weak?
Our side beat the crap out of the Democrats yesterday
I hope the Russians show up with lawyers. I can’t wait to read the discovery on this.
This will be a lesson for all future Republican Administrations following a filthy Democrat administration.................

Who’s THEY? Mueller? If that is the case, and no one else is allowed to independently look at it, he could say that Capt Kangaroo hacked it and there’s be no way to challenge it.
Whew!!...For awhile I was worried the mueller debacle was going to be a complete waste of our taxpayer dollars! /sar/
Yeah, because the FBI folks that do this type of stuff have so much integrity..
Did all those Russians leave their names behind when they did all their dastardly deeds?
