The Justice Department on Friday indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups of violating criminal laws with the intent to interfere with "with U.S. elections and political processes", according to agency.

According to the agency, "the indictment charges all of the defendants with conspiracy to defraud the United States, three defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, and five defendants with aggravated identity theft."

The indictment says that some defendants "communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign" without revealing their association with Russia. The indictment also says the defendants posted negative information about a number of candidates during the last general election.

"Defendants operations included supporting the presidential campaign on then-candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton" his Democratic rival, according to the indictment.

I want to break out the champagne, but let’s be cautious. He said the investigation is “ongoing.” This appears to be so lame that it could be a red herring - with more to come.

I am almost in the affirmative that what is happening in Israel is also a product of the former 0bummer administration. Remember he was caught interfering with their elections as well. Could that not be a precursor to what is happening here in the USA. Something about him sending a team to fight for the opposition to Netanyahu doesn’t sit right, more so today than it did when it was revealed. It didn’t sit right back then but now putting things into larger perspective, 0bummer certainly has a lot more freedom as he once told his Russian counterpart. 0bummer going to London to interfere with the BREXIT is just the third attempt at this interference and if he cannot win that way he will make things up. He did this in Illinois and this is the true Chicago politics we have all heard about.

I haven’t had time to look at the details because I’m working, but I can’t help but be struck that Hillary’s crimes surrounding the private server and the cover-up are about a thousand times more serious than this.

Are these people still in Russia? Will they ever be able to actually haul them into court? If not and if it didn’t have a substantive effect on the election, why indict them?

They were so “pro-Trump, while they were organizing protests FOR him, they were also organizing protests AGAINST him.

but that didn’t seem to make it in the ABC article

Soros has actually been CONVICTED in France, and yet still nothing has happened to him.

The timing of this is just soooooo exquisite ...
One imagines DWS raging at the cancelled
Interviews filling up her inbox.
You can literally feel The Sunday
Shows all pivoting right now to scratch
Nelson for Nunes...

It’s Mueller Time, debs !

I can already predict the democratic contradiction to come...

When illegals vote , protest and use media to influence elections - is not the same as those Russian influence.

Republicans should respond by going after the groups doing the same thing.

That would set democrats up to protect the foreign nationals they collude with.
