Additionl details from CNBC Special counsel Robert Mueller has obtained a new indictment charging 12 Russian intelligence officers with hacking Democrats to intefere with the 2016 presidential election, and with stealing information of about 500,000 American voters, the Justice Department announced Friday.

The indictment lodged by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., accuses the Russian spies of hacking into the Democratic National Committee and the presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and of releasing emails obtained from that cybersnooping with a goal of influencing the election.

Two of the defendants are also "charged with conspiring to infiltrate computers of organizations responsible for administering elections, including state boards of election, secretaries of state, and companies that supply software and other technology used to administer elections," said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Read the full indictment here. https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/resources/editorialfiles/2018/07/13/netyksho_et_al_indictment.pdf

It was the hacking of a state election board that led to the theft of information about the 500,000 voters, he said.

Rosenstein said the "conspirators created fictitious online personas, including 'DCLeaks' and 'Guccifer 2.0,' and used them to release thousands of stolen emails and other documents, beginning in June 2016."

"The defendants falsely claimed that DCLeaks was started by a group of American hackers and that Guccifer 2.0 was a lone Romanian hacker," he said.

The swiped emails were both made public and transferred to another organization, Rosenstein said, without identifying that organization. He added that the conspirators discussed timing the release of the documents "in an attempt to enhance the impact on the election."

"The conspirators corresponded with several Americans through the internet," Rosenstein said. "There is no allegation in the indictment that the Americans knew they were communicating with Russian intelligence officers."

However, the indictment says that “The Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, also communicated with U.S. Personas about the release of stolen documents. On or about August 15, 2016, the Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, wrote to a person who was in regular contact with senior members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, ‘thank u for writing back … do u find anyt[h]ing interesting in the docs I posted?’”

"On or about August 17, 2016, the Conspirators added, 'please tell me if I can help u anyhow … it would be a great pleasure to me,''" according to the indictment. "On or about September 9, 2016, the Conspirators, again posing as Guccifer 2.0, referred to a stolen DCCC document posted online and asked the person, “what do u think of the info on the turnout model for the democrats entire presidential campaign.” The person responded, [p]retty standard."

In another case, the indictment said, "On or about August 15, 2016, the conspirators posing as Guccifer 2.0 receive a request for stolen documents from a candidate for U.S. Congress. The Conspirators responded as Guccifer 2.0 ... and sent the candidate stolen docs related to the candidate's opponent."

It appears that Mr. Mueller's work has produced sufficient evidence to convince a grand jury that crimes have been committed.

Indeed, Putin's KGB hacked the US election to benefit DSD45.

Proving, yet again, that anyone could indict a ham sandwich.

As no alleged criminal is alleged to be in the United States or in any country which would turn them over to the United States, there will be no trial, no presentation of evidence, no witnesses, just a big fat nothing burger. At least this time, the discredited hacks did not indict a nonexistent corporation, or worse, an existing corporation which could (and did) appear via their attorney to demonstrate what an incredible sham the whole indictment was.

Nobody hacked the DNC. The DNC data was downloaded direct to a USB drive.

Re: United States of America v. Internet Research Agency LLC et al., USDC District of Columbia 18-cr-32.

I believe I will take as instructive, the cluster foxtrot that is Internet Research Agency and the government's indictment of a non-existent corporation, flawed indictment, and utter failure of service whose requirement was as unexpected as the appearance of attorneys.

After a publicity stunt gone wrong in presenting the indictment, the Keystone Kops were flabbergasted when a corporate defendant appeared via its attorney. They were really in a mess when the court DENIED Mueller's request to delay the first court hearing, and in an order of Saturday 5 May 2018 scheduled that first hearing for Wednesday 9 May 2018.

Attorneys for Concord Management and Consulting LLC very unexpectedly showed up in court, forced the first appearance on May 9th, and left the Mueller team looking real stupid. The Mueller team has not effected service on the other defendants and has no way to do so.

In a motion of 6 July 2018, Doc 44, the GOVERNMENT'S MOTION REGARDING STATUS OF SERVICE, states,

GOVERNMENT’S MOTION REGARDING STATUS OF SERVICE

The United States of America, by and through Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller, III, respectfully moves the Court to order the government to submit a status report, in lieu of a hearing, regarding service by September 7, 2018. During the May 9, 2018 arraignment of Defendant Concord Management and Consulting, LLC, the Court set a control date of July 9, 2018, to receive an update regarding service of the summons on two codefendants, Concord Catering and Internet Research Agency, LLC. The government has submitted service requests to the Russian government pursuant to a mutual legal assistance treaty. To the government’s knowledge, no further steps have been taken within Russia to effectuate service. The government therefore respectfully requests that the Court order the government to submit a status report, in lieu of a hearing, regarding service by September 7, 2018.

Amid much fanfare, in a publicity stunt, Mueller's team presented the indictment not contemplating anyone showing up. Having been forced by the court to make the initial appearance on May 9, 2018, it has become painfully obvious that the Mueller team has no case and is still not prepared to leave the starting line.

To cover for this bullshit, they have mucked up some new bullshit, with no corporate defendants who can appear by their attorney and force them to actually proceed.

Service will be no different this time, and as in Internet Research Agency, today's crap was a publicity stunt with no intention of ever proceeding to a trial.

A federal judge has rejected special counsel Robert Mueller’s request to delay the first court hearing in a criminal case charging three Russian companies and 13 Russian citizens with using social media and other means to foment strife among Americans in advance of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

In a brief order Saturday evening, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich offered no explanation for her decision to deny a request prosecutors made Friday to put off the scheduled Wednesday arraignment for Concord Management and Consulting, one of the three firms charged in the case.

Russian firm pleads not guilty in Mueller election case

[excerpt]

Neither Prigozhin nor any officer or owner of Concord Management showed up at the U.S. district court in Washington for the brief arraignment hearing. However, two U.S. attorneys, Eric Dubelier and Kate Seikaly of law firm Reed Smith, represented the company.

"We waive formal reading of the indictment and enter a plea of not guilty and exercise our right to a speedy trial," Dubelier told U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey.

Prosecutors had raised concerns about whether the lawyers could appear for the firm without accepting a formal summons in the case, but Harvey said federal court rules permit a corporation to appear through a lawyer.

United States of America v. Internet Research Agency LLC et al., USDC District of Columbia 18-cr-32, Doc 10 (14 May 2018) DEFENDANT CONCORD MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING LLC’S MOTION PURSUANT TO RULE 6(e)(3)(E)(ii) FOR IN CAMERA INSPECTION OF LEGAL INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED TO THE GRAND JURY REGARDING COUNT ONE OF THE INDICTMENT

At 1-2:

I. Introduction

The Court is well aware that heretofore investigations of alleged improper foreign involvement in American elections have been handled by the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”); specifically the Campaign Finance Task Force created by former Attorney General Reno in 1997, and where the Court worked as a prosecutor from September 1997 to August 1998. Former Attorney General Reno refused to bow to massive political pressure to appoint a special counsel, and instead the Task Force methodically investigated and prosecuted. Now, some twenty years later, the Deputy Attorney General acting for the recused Attorney General has rejected the history and integrity of the DOJ, and instead licensed a Special Counsel who for all practical political purposes cannot be fired, to indict a case that has absolutely nothing to do with any links or coordination between any candidate and the Russian Government. The reason is obvious, and is political: to justify his own existence the Special Counsel has to indict a Russian – any Russian. Different from any election case previously brought by the DOJ, the Special Counsel used the catch-all provision of the federal criminal code, the defraud prong of conspiracy, 18 U.S.C. § 371, to allege that a foreign corporate defendant with no presence in the United States and having never entered the United States, engaged in the make-believe crime of conspiring to “interfere” in a United States election. Indictment, Dkt. 1, ¶ 2. Presumably to bolster these allegations (which have a strong odor of hypocrisy), the Special Counsel has pleaded around the knowledge requirements of all related substantive statutes and regulations by asserting that Concord conspired to obstruct the functions of the United States Departments of Justice (“DOJ”) and State (“DOS”), and the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”). But violations of the relevant federal campaign laws and foreign agent registration requirements administered by the DOJ and the FEC require the defendant to have acted “willfully,” a word that does not appear anywhere in Count One of the Indictment. See 52 U.S.C. § 30109(d) and 22 U.S.C. § 618(a).

This sleight-of-hand does not relieve the Special Counsel from the requirement that the indictment contain all of the elements of the offense charged. See Russell v. United States, 369 U.S. 749, 763 (1962). As such, Count One of the Indictment appears to be facially invalid because it fails to charge an essential element of the offense of conspiracy to defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing and defeating the functions of the FEC and the DOJ, that is, that the Defendant acted willfully, in this case meaning that Defendant was aware of the FEC and FARA requirements, agreed to violate those requirements, and ultimately acted with intent to violate those requirements. See United States v. Pickett, 353 F.3d 62, 67 (D.C. Cir. 2004) (dismissing indictment that tracked only part of the statutory language). The absence of the word “willfully” in Count One of the Indictment establishes that Defendant has a particularized need to obtain the limited relief sought, that is, an in camera inspection of the legal instructions the Special Counsel provided to the grand jury. With that information, the Court can determine whether those instructions could support a motion to dismiss the facially invalid Count One of the Indictment.
