Count 43. By 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used their fictitious online personas to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.
Free speech isn’t a crime.
1st Amendment is an affirmative defense, even for foreigners.
SC Mueller invented a new crime out of whole cloth.
If its interference to be against Hillary Clinton - that’s the whole point of writing a blog and posting on social media.
Mueller may not like the Russians’ viewpoint but that’s a completely different issue from hacking votes.
And even he didn’t charge them with collusion! Its over.
They engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.
Did the Russians want a Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump match up?
That’s interesting. And by BS, I mean they had no particular investment in Trump. They were playing both sides of the fence for their own ends.
