WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced on Friday the indictment of 12 Russian government operatives, and the charging document says a candidate for US Congress requested information and documents on their campaign's opponent before the 2016 election.

The indictment, part of the Russia investigation headed by the special counsel Robert Mueller, describes the details of the transaction.

"Between in or around June 2016 and October 2016, the Conspirators used Guccifer 2.0 to release documents through WordPress that they had stolen from" the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee, the indictment says. "The Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, also shared stolen documents with certain individuals."

The document continues: "On or about August 15, 2016, the Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, received a request for stolen documents from a candidate for the US Congress. The Conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate's opponent."

The indictment does not name the candidate or allude to whether they won their election. The party primaries would have been wrapped by August 2016, strongly suggesting that the person who requested hacked documents from the Russian operatives was a Republican.

The indictment of the 12 Russian operatives is the latest development in the ongoing Russia investigation. So far, two dozen Russians have been indicted, while several other people have faced charges, including Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's campaign chairman, and Michael Flynn, the Trump administration's former national security adviser.

I'm guessing that the GOP has been compromised by Putin & the KGB long before that... maybe even helping Ryan oust Boehner as Speaker...

On June 21, 2016, in an interview with Vice, "Guccifer 2.0" stated that he is Romanian ... On June 30, 2016 and January 12, 2017, "Guccifer 2.0" stated that he is not Russian.

Meaning that "on or about August 15, 2016", the person who requested hacked documents did not believe he was dealing with the Russians.

We ALL know that no Dim would do anything unethical or illegal,right? They are all,like the Clinton's,as pure as the driven coke.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

I'm not guessing. I'm sure you have been influenced with satanic doctrines. Like murdering children. You're a sicko Willie. You vote to murder babies. One of those babies should blow your old ugly head off.

I'm curious as to why some people think Putin is that smart? The Iranians have been using him for quite sometime (just like they used Bath House Barry and his sidekick Lurch) that's why Russian soldiers are the ones dying in Syria not Iranian.

What does any of that have to do with the Trump campaign - Mueller-Magoo's assignment?

What, exactly, are the predicate crime(s) Trump's campaign allegedly committed? Mueller-Magoo refuses to say, as do his henchmen.
You identify a crime, then seek to find and prosecute those who committed it - in our nation you do NOT identify a target to take down, then seek to find something to nail him on. That's democRat-style bullshit.

Putin doesn't have to be a genius to outsmart Tea Party goobers who believe the Earth is only 6000 years old...

What the Russians need to do is actually challenge the DOJ indictments and force the DOJ to present its made up documents. This would be game set and match! This could be a great day for the world to see how the Demoncrap works in making up crap to get leverage on people using government agency that are suppose to be above politics.

Why do you think the MSM is writing all of the faux outrage/spin stories? They already know the indictments are BS and are just trying to spin the story somehow to cover that up. (Just like this websites good little drone).
