What was criminal about it?
They’re free to “sow discord” or “meddle in US elections” as much as they want.
These are just code words for “the government doesn’t like what you said”. Well, tough crap for the government. Read the first amendment to the Constitution.
I don’t know what was criminal about it.
The reporting doesn’t say.
Perhaps the indictments don’t say.
It’s certainly possible that the accused engaged in criminal acts. Certainly they have associations that my preconceptions would lead me to believe that they were engaged in criminal acts.
But that the reports don’t describe the actual acts, but are instead full of yammering about “the Russians” has me withholding judgement.
With respect to the accused, at least. My poor opinion of the media I consider confirmed.
Is that anything like greasin'yer pig?
No, they are not. They are working for a foreign country like the late Ron Dellums was. Same foreign country, for that matter, as the communist Democrat Dellums. If they weren’t registered as foreign agents for Ivan there, they are in violation of the law.
