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.

Swishy Shep Smith just had a preview of his show by PROCLAIMING this ROSENSTEIN NEWS was earthshaking news and that The Trump organization was working with the Russians.

His eyeliner started to melt he was so excited.

The media is literally lying and they are selectively reporting parts of the indictment, because they know that most people are too stupid or lazy to read the whole thing.

Paragraph 57 points out “After the election, the alleged conspirators launched campaigns to ignite rallies in support of President-elect Trump AND PROTEST AGAINST THE ELECTION RESULTS ON THE SAME DAY; to include Charlotte protests and ‘Trump is NOT my President’ rally in New York City.”

Also, contrary to the headlines on the AssPress, “Using these and more personas, they allegedly attempted to denigrate all mainstream candidates and support exclusively BERNIE SANDERS as well as Donald Trump until the later half of 2016, after the primaries.”

Now that all that collusion foolishness is taken care of, Mueller can go after Trump on obstruction of justice.

And you know he will.
I’m sure he will botch it just like he did against Steven Hatfill in the FBI anthrax case in which the FBI had to pay Hatfill about $5 million dollars in damages for wrongful prosecution.

An Appeals Court has sought to extend Constitutional Rights to aliens seeking to enter the US from areas where Muslim extremism exists. It seeks to ban Trump from prohibiting immigrants from these area under the guise of “freedom of religion”, and Trump is somehow discriminating on religious ground in refusing them entry.

Hillary procures and delivers 20 % of our uranium to the Russians. Hillary and “Progressive/Liberals” support Communist dictators throughout the world for decades, in Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, Kenya, North Korea, and Russia (including Putin).

Obama promises Putin that he will have more leeway after the 2010 election.

Hillary, the DNC, the FBI, and the State Department collude with Russian agents to smear Trump with a fake dossier. The DNC is hell bent on removing Trump from office.

There is a lot of misdirection in the MSM. Mueller is an agent of the DNC, Hillary, and Obama.

So, if a foreigner post views on Facebook critical of the DNC, Hillary, Obama etc., it is collusion on the part of Trump?

The indictment reads like a political document. The very people who wrote it were Hillary supporters and donors. A very curious indictment indeed. Weissmann has his fingerprints all over it.

Agreed. How pathetic/disgusting.

Mueller and lawyers spend MILLIONS of dollars of OUR money on an outrageously bogus "investigation," while the FBI (feeble bungling inquisitors) couldn't deign to lift a finger to investigate the well-known Florida school murderer.

I had a Russian under contract from Home Depot put in my pergo flooring during 2016. He didn’t say much to me for a couple of hours as I was blabbing to him about the flooring, then all the sudden started talking with a perfect Southern accent. He just about ya’lled me to death. I told him I thought he was from Russia but he said no, no I was mistaken, he was actually from North Carolina and he thought it was about time Roy Williams retired. Then he started badmouthing Hillary Clinton...for no apparent reason, just started calling her a bitch. Told me he was voting for Trump. On the way out the door he started cussing Roy Williams again. Definite collusion.

Since when is it disparaging to tell the truth about Hillary, and to bring up her long history of corruption and crimes?

Robert Mueller has finally justified the millions he's spent. He's arrested 13 people for having fake Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts and being partisan. Who knew that this type of horrific crime was going on in America! #MuellerTime #mueller

And yet the IRS refuses to tell U.S. citizens when their SS numbers are being used fraudulently by illegal aliens.

Little Miss Sheppie Stewart trying her best on Fox to say Rothenstein made it perfectly clear that the Russians were in cahoots with the Trump campaign. She keeps bringing on Democrats to slam Trump and say it’s a matter of time before Trump is indicted. Why on earth does Fox put up with this Trump-hating leftist. The white version of Don Lemon.
