“the Mueller team’s indictment of 12 Russian GRU agents”

An indictment for a case that will never see the inside of a courtroom, of course. It’s very easy to make assertions in an indictment when you know you will never have to prove any of those assertions in court. This was purely political grandstanding by Mueller. You don’t publicly file criminal indictments against foreign spies that you haven’t even apprehended; that’s ludicrous on its face.

“There is a lot of information in there...”

“Information” is not the same thing as “evidence”. I could say that I had a dream that Ronald McDonald hacked the DNC. That’s “information”, but it’s not any kind of “evidence”.

“...Crowdstrike’s suppositions are not the only evidence.”

Frankly, we have no idea what the “evidence” for that indictment is, because there is no evidence actually mentioned in the indictment. Knowing Mueller, who filed another indictment against a bunch of Russians that was based entirely on a magazine article, I really am not inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt that he actually has any real evidence to back his assertions.

I take it that's a "NO! I did not read it

With a side helping of "and I will not do so now at your urging, either

OK, suit yourself.

It seems way too specific to just be a bunch of conjecture dreamed up by the investigating agents and DOJ attorneys.

For instance:

12. Defendant IVAN SERGEYEVICH YERMAKOV (Ермаков Иван Сергеевич) was a Russian military officer assigned to ANTONOV’s department within Unit 26165. Since in or around 2010, YERMAKOV used various online personas, including “Kate S. Milton,” “James McMorgans,” and “Karen W. Millen,” to conduct hacking operations on behalf of Unit 26165. In or around March 2016, YERMAKOV participated in hacking at least two email accounts from which campaign-related documents were released through DCLeaks. In or around May 2016, YERMAKOV also participated in hacking the DNC email server and stealing DNC emails that were later released through Organization 1
