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.

It’s Hillarious how they drop this BS on a Friday so dumbed-down Leftist dummies can blow it out of all perportions over the holiday weekend.

“This is NOTHING but CYA!”

I eagerly anticipate the collapse as indicated here of the #RussiaCollusionHoax will follow with some heavy indictments and revelations of the Stasi among us.

That and some fairly important corruption which will in due course shock this nation and I’m not pointing to the inevitable indictments for leaking of classified information.

It will get far worse.

Let’s pray for justice. Lord, hear our prayer.

It all sounds like a big nothing.. Leftist lies and setups are pathetic.. Laughable. Clinton lost in spite of Democrat election and voter fraud.. i believe in time she will go to jail.

16 Russians indicted

10s, 100s, or 1,000s of thousands of Mexican illegal aliens, no indictments.

Russian charged with advocating for Trump and for Clinton.

Mexican illegal aliens vote almost exclusively for Democrats. No indictments.

Illegal aliens are sworn by Leftists to be covered by our U. S. Constitution. Here though, the Russians are charged making it clear they have no first amendment rights.

Obama and Clinton sent U. S. citizens to interfere in Israel and Britain’s elections.

The people they sent over were professional campaign level operatives working for Leftists. I don’t see any hooting an hollering about abuses there.

The charges announced today, are a feakin joke!

I wonder if Lisa Page’s name is on the list of Russian agents.

In her text below, why does Page call it the “American” presidential election? What other country’s presidential election would they be discussing? The verbiage seems “off”. A normal person would just say “the election” or “the presidential election”. Maybe she’s Strzok’s handler.

“In one text four days before the election, Page told Strzok that the ‘American’ presidential election, and thus, the state of the world, actually hangs in the balance.”

Hopefully you paid cash for your internet access and didn't use a credit card so you can skate on the wire fraud.

You're kidding.

The "wire fraud" is using a credit card to pay for Internet access?

I really have to go check this out.

The indictment itself is full of fluff and clearly presents itself as political posturing. The Mueller investigation had to find something, anything; and what they came up with reflects how little substance exists. This is one of those examples where it pays to read the actual indictment; and contrast the facts laid out against the method of salesmanship and parseltongue. It is not a difficult read – even Boris and Natasha could do it.

Example: “unwitting Trump campaign official” is really – A single New York volunteer campaign worker agreed to give some signs to a pro-Trump rally.

Again, I think this comports 100% with my theory.

Mulehead basically exonerates DT and all his team. He indicts Russkies going back to 2014 (!!) Tony Two-Toes should be next up.

All in line with a smokescreen operation.

What this tells me is that the Deep Mole State of red-diaper dandies still thinks it can bring down America by starting a hot war with Russia and damned if they are going to stop now.
