A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia on Friday indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities accused of interfering in U.S. elections.
The announcement came from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
According to the special counsel, the indictment charges 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.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is scheduled to hold a press conference Friday afternoon.

So Obama’s millions of illegal donations from foreign sources were not illegal, then?
After reading the indictment - what I don’t see: Any mention of Trump-Russian collusion.
“..saying they said untrue things about Hillary to hurt her campaign..”
So then, the logical next step, in my opinion, would be to investigate each of these allegations of criminal activity by Hillary to determine if they’re true.
And if they are proven so, what then?
Yes. And what about all of the foreign nationals who are in our country unlawfully?
Their own statement said it probably didn't influence the outcome, #nothingburger
Andrea Mitchell squirming with hope. She suggests this indictment does not implicate Trump Campaign officials, BUT, that does not say there will not be more indictments that might include others.
Andrea brings up the *lack of security clearances* among the senior White House officials. Andrea’s panel say there remains the obstruction of justice investigation by Mueller against the president, and also against anyone who cooperated with the Russians... encouraging a hunt for cooperating associates to Trump and his administration.
“No American, (according to Rubenstein) was wittingly cooperating with the Russian project to meddle in the election.”
This is causing great angst for the Left. The thread the Left hang on is pushing that Trump was so open to Russia, during his campaign, that they preferred Trump to win.
“The indictment states that these Russians suggested American voters vote for Jill Stein, that muslim Americans should vote for Hillary and also sponsored rallies for AND AGAINST President-Elect Trump.”
Yes, but the Press is already spinning it as all pro-Trump
Who is going to announce the indictment of Ron Rosenstein?
The state ops guys working in the media ranks in psy-ops are really desperate.
Those facebook quips are the same things that are in the news.
I don’t understand how you can influence an election by posting on FB about Jill Stein. I don’t even understand how this can be a crime. It is bizarre! And there is something pathetic about this indictment. Talk about pulling at straws.
It is really time to defund the FBI and the Special Counsel.
If they don’t have time to investigate school shooting tips, then what the heck are they doing that is worthwhile?
Calling my representatives today!
I agree with you that at the end of the day, the Left is going to be miserable over this turn of events.
Those facts wont be talked about by the media....it’s going to be look here, 13 Russians interfered and helped Trump win...it’ll be used to validate what the lefty has been screaming about even though in real terms, it’s nothing.
I hope Mueller is done now but I doubt it.
On a friday no less. Timing is everything.
The FBI sure dropped the ball on that one.
What statue was violated that doesnt violate free speech in the 1st amendment. Trump needs to immediately denounce this absurdity.
“It pisses me off that SNL properly depicts Sessions.”
Me too! I think Trump thought Sessions would help him with the RINOs in the Senate, and that he would be an easy to get through that body. I guess he failed to vet him sufficiently as to the matter of how he’d approach the office, and now with the Mueller business still going on, Trump is still in a box with the Justice Department and the FBI.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
“No American” includes EVERYONE....Trump Jr, Flynn, Sessions, Manafort, Gates, etc etc....
