13 Russian nationals, 3 entities indicted in sweeping case
Social media, contacts with campaign and staging rallies
U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller announced an indictment of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities, accusing them of interfering in the 2016 presidential election and operating fake social media accounts.
[Click here to read the indictment]
The indictment announced on Friday was the first criminal case to accuse Russians of seeking to influence the outcome of the U.S. election.
The Internet Research Agency, a Russian organization, and the defendants began working in 2014 to interfere in U.S. elections, according to the indictment in Washington. They used false personas and social media while also staging political rallies and communicating with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign, it said.
The goal was to disparage Hillary Clinton and to assist the election of Donald Trump.
Muellers office said that none of the defendants was in custody.

Having fake Twitter/Facebook accounts is not, to my knowledge, an actual crime.
Sounds like some poor reporting to me. Or Mueller is desperate to show any kind of result because he's got nothin'.

If this is the standard of a crime, then the US gov has been committing crimes by interfering in elections in numerous other countries.
It's hand's down hypocritical and I hope it's pointed out abundantly by foreign countries.

Can we say: UKRAINE, just to start? The monkeying around the world by the CIA ( unaccountable, BTW) is exactly why the majority of the world is at odds with the USA.

Yeah, when these Russian interference allegations came out I told all the good 'ol boys that I had Russian agents in my closet and under my bed telling me how to vote while I was asleep. I still feel the same way.
Willie, try spamming LF with "news" that actually matters.
You DO realize that God will judge you for your non-stop HATE and ENVY? And for spreading your LIES and false gossip?
Jesus said, "Blessed are the Peacemakers" -- NOT, "Blessed are the False Rumor-Mongers and those who CREATE war and strife..."
Try reporting on the Comey-Mueller BFF relationship and FAKE Witch Hunt; OR, the entire collusion and conspiracy by Dem-GOPe operatives to pay foreign agents to create FAKE "Dossiers," falsify records, lying under oath, violating FISA requests, conspiring to overthrow the President of the United State of America.
TRUTH: The ENTIRE 0bama-Hitlery Machine weaponizing DNC/FBI/DoJ. Treasonous 0bama Loyalists wasted their time, resources and assets to first blatantly STEAL an election, to frame first candidate Donald Trump, then PRESIDENT Donald Trump in what was and still is an ongoing COUP...
THAT is the Big Story. NOT the petty BS you and what the Liberal-Regressive Dem "Resistance" gushes over.
Hateful Lefty-Commie sociopaths and Stasi like yourself will not be happy until you've started a war with Russia, or there are hundreds of mass shootings across the USA.

Yup. If "interfering in elections" is so evil, then why does the USA sponsor it?
The Mother of ALL "Interference" was the Hitlery-0bama "ARAB SPRING" campaign, which succeeded in assassinating Qaddafi, deposed Egyptian President Mubarak (installing a Muzzie Brohood puppet), and generally ran roughshod over most national sovereignty. (American MSM: SILENT.)
This Russian Interference "revelation" is nothing but Strawman. I sense this signals the end of this bullsh*t "investigation." They had to come up with something, so this is the best they could do.
Another recent Strawman bogus issue out there has been this "War on Opioids" Strawman, which is nothing but farcical cover for gangsta and drug cartel distributors shielded in inner-city Dem Plantations BY Dem politicians -- who do NOTHING to stop them.
MSM: SILENT. Chicago Murders by the Bushel full on a daily basis: MSM: SILENT. Florida Psycho with a AW: Ecstatic non-stop chatter.
If this is the same Willie Green I used to see post, he had conservative views at some time in the past.
My views haven't changed, although I prefer being called "independent" nowadays. The term "conservative" has become irreparably damaged by dumbed-down evangelical bigots, racists, hucksters, conartists, luddites & fools.

Let me point out that Mueller, in spite of his megliomania, is not authorized to open up a court and indicte unknown people in Russia for supposd criminal acts against the United States that are primarily unproven beyond Mueller's fantasies and assertions. There is no basis for legal action or indictment other than Mueller's loud boisterous mouth even if it were allowable. Mueller should have been canned or disqualified a long time ago.
How many millions of Americans have fake social media accounts? 20 million? 50 million?
Maybe not that many.
But there are companies that create fake users on these platforms and sell services to companies and individuals like politicians and media figures so they can just buy big numbers of "followers" to make themselves look more popular than they really are.
And those companies are not illegal. So I'm trying to understand why it's wrong for Russians to have fake accounts to peddle whatever but it isn't wrong for pols and celebs and libmedia figures to flack #FakeNews with their own fake Twitter/Facebook accounts.
Water melon Willie has been influenced by the Russians his whole life. He sucked up the Soviet propaganda and went for seconds and thirds. Now that he is brainwashed by communist ideology he spreads his turd ideology across the internet. Willie needs to be indicted.

Let's call this what it is:
Political Cover for Dems, Kangaroo Court, and Show Trial BY the Perps of the REAL Election Tampering.
The alleged Ruskie nationals are Strawmen. And as you note, this is a hollow indictment without any teeth or authority to do anything about it.
There is no basis for legal action or indictment other than Mueller's loud boisterous mouth even if it were allowable. Mueller should have been canned or disqualified a long time ago.
In your opinion, why wasn't Mueller dismissed long ago?
Mueller is nothing but a Carnival Barker, a Circus MC. He needs to be investigated fully for this charade. And frankly so do Comey, Hitlery and 0bama; WHAT did they know, WHEN did they know it??
And what about Jeff Sessions? Why did he immediately recuse himself as AG?? The man is more than suspect; IMO Sessions in neck-deep in this conspiracy.
In the end it was a sorority prank on America in general.
But the demoncrats do a million times worse and nothing happens! More selective outrage.
Spot on.
The Nation amd World been pranked/punked. The MSM are still doing it; Except almost all conservatives knew it from Day One from both the Media and this bogus "investigation."
Just when do these law-breaking Dems get their REAL investigations, indictments, and jail time? Without it everyone in America KNOWS there is NO real justice, NO real Constitution, and NO real functioning Presidency, Government or Authority.
There is no basis for legal action or indictment other than Mueller's loud boisterous mouth even if it were allowable. Mueller should have been canned or disqualified a long time ago.
In your opinion, why wasn't Mueller dismissed long ago?
Because we elected a mouthy dimwit as president who brags about practicing the art of the deal. He's way in over his head in the job. His opinions vary from week to week. He has surrounded himself with enemy subversives. He's nothing but a carnival huckster and Hillary understudy. He's nuts.
The last two men with any brains, stability, or integrity were Ross Perot and Reagan.

So you don't believe that Trump has been battling a still active political coup and sabotage from within? What show-trial/witch-hunt/"investigation" have YOU been watching from Mueller and Co??
How do you know for sure that Trump has fully been able to choose those he truly wants in positions of power that now surround him? Have you noted that these people often publicly disagree with him? WHY would a high-powered CEO like Trump tolerate that??
And tell me -- how does a Total Outsider like Trump win an election if he's a "huckster," THAT stupid AND nuts?
The man has accomplished much with one arm tied behind his back by a Globalist Cabal that had just completed three decades of owning the WH and with it, an anti-America, anti-Common Sense, pro-NWO agenda with their stable of Sock-Puppets (aka Poppy, Bubba, W, and Barry.)

I agree - sometimes I don't give Trump the credit he deserves standing strong against the Deep State.
Still, it's just one step forward after the decades of marching toward outright socialism.
In any case had Hillary been elected instead - so-called assault rifles would have been banned, most likely after the Vegas psy-op and most certainly after the latest massacre in Florida.
It's entirely possible that if she had won, there would be nationwide gun confiscations.

Trump has been his own active sabotage with the help of the trash he has gathered around him, his own toleration of them, and inconsistency.
And tell me -- how does a Total Outsider like Trump win an election if he's a "huckster,"
Because he was lucky enough to be running against a candidate who brought one of the leaders of the American Communist Party to Wellesly to speak. She was more incompetent than he was. If he had been running against anyone with half a brain, he would have lost big time. During the first debate he came off as a came off as a cowering child before a stern mother. The second debate clobbered her because she was too sick to leave the stage.

Sorry, from what I've seen and examined, that's not close to reality.
There is overwhelming proof of a past as well as active coup. (Have you at all been examining the Mueller "investigation," and the Nunes Memos? The Grassley Memos? The entire "Dossier" debacle and reasons for the "Russia Election Interference" and bullsh*t investigation to begin with? FAKE FISA warrants based on LIES.
NOT coincidentally there is overwhelming evidence that the Republican Party had sandbagged the last two election cycles against 0bama (McCain AND Romney BOTH lost purposely); MOREOVER, the evidence strongly suggests Poppy Bush also sandbagged his own election against Bubba I.)
Not only that, there has been overwhelming proof of a Shadow Gubmint (some call it "Global Elites" or "NWO") whose tentacles-of-control Trump has had to fight tooth and nail to repel. This so-called "trash" has been foisted upon him by the PTB.
[The reason Trump won the Presidency] he was lucky enough to be running against a candidate who brought one of the leaders of the American Communist Party to Wellesly to speak. She was more incompetent than he was. If he had been running against anyone with half a brain, he would have lost big time.
Uh, no. Not quite. (though Hitlery was and is a Commie -- but then so was 0bama and they allegedly voted TWICE for him.)
The reasons Trump won are plenty...
1) Firstly, the American public tired of as well as distrusted the "Same Ol'" party sock-puppets foisted upon them.
2) They also tired of the destructive policies and baggage of the 0bama-Hitlery wing of the Dem Party taking a wrecking ball to the USA.
3) The majority recognized Trump's "Outsider" status, independence, and vision for an "America First" agenda. He was essentially the "Third Party" candidate we'd been craving (hence the animus from the GOPe.)
4) The majority realized they were being manipulated into voting for a severely flawed sociopath in Hitlery and rejected her.
5) The Democrat Party and the Globalists failed to execute their usual *FIX for this election.
*I DON'T BELIEVE 0BAMA ACTUALLY WON THE SECOND ELECTION.
During the first debate he came off as a came off as a cowering child before a stern mother. The second debate clobbered her because she was too sick to leave the stage.
Anyway, let me briefly refresh your respective memory:
The first "debate" was NO "debate," but instead a mockery of the process, nothing but an ambush set up by FOX's "moderators." Trump not only withstood the initial blows but counter-attacked Megyn Kelly (who has still never fully recovered.)
During that FIRST Fox debate, Kelly, Baer, and Wallace IMMEDIATELY and purposely targeted Donald Trump with that bogus charge of sexual impropriety AND for "hating" on women. (Do you recall the exchange that featured texts between Rosie O'Donnell and Trump?)
There was the subsequent admission that their goal was to goad Trump into getting thrown off the stage and out of the debates.
The second debate:
Yes, Trump crushed Hitlery, yes, she was a physical mess, but by then THAT was a factor. He beat up Hitlery because he surprised ABC as well as the Clintons and audience by preemptively bringing enough ammo to overcome a SECOND ambush. He invited the Former Bubba Clinton Accusers Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey to the debate. That single move transformed the debate and highlighted the hypocrisy of Hillary as well as that of the Dems and Networks.
So the quick-on-his-feet clever Donald Trump recognized this attack and turned the tables.
Trump also scored big when he said he planned to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hitlery's emails.
By the third debate, moderated by CNN, it was clear The Fix was in -- CNN was exposed to have colluded with Hitlery's campaign.
CONCLUSION: Every other GOP candidate would have folded like a cheap camera under these circumstances...BUT NOT Donald Trump. Mainly because he was not owned by lobbyists OR the RNC (who worked AGAINST him.)
The man BEAT the Jeb Bush/GOPe Machine, destroyed Hitlery and beat the her DNC-owned Mainstream Media.
And for over a year and a half now he has been fending off the Smear Campaign of Deep State apparatus and the MSM Propaganda Machine.
The past 100+ years needs to be put into the context of the profiteering manufactured in the process of manufacturing the associated "history".
Granpa (D)rumpf's brothel empire is a typical turd in the oligarchic- kleptocratic landscape where gaming human nature for fun and profit is just part of doing bidness as usual.
And Trump's buddy Cohn - was certainly no stranger to the puddle of shyte coming out of the same sacrificial cash-cow herd.
No riddle. Just historically unpopular facts that are never discovered without the effort of turning one's attention away from the HD 7.2 channel Bread and Circus show.

You've lost me once you mimicked Leftist Zombie "Drumpf"...
...Then further buried yourself by associating and equivocating the Bush Globalist Crime Family with the guy they are fighting against tooth and nail (Yes, PRESIDENT TRUMP.)
