Mueller Indicts 12 Russian Officers for Hacking Dems in 2016
www.thedailybeast.com ^ | 07/13/2018 | Staff

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced on Friday that 12 Russian intelligence officers was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the ongoing Trump-Russia investigation. The officers are members of the GRU, and are all named as having allegedly hacked the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Democratic National Committee, and the Hillary Clinton campaign. CNN reported that prosecutors from Mueller's office and the Justice Department's National Security Division gave a grand jury indictment to a D.C. federal magistrate judge on Thursday morning. The indictment comes just one day before President Trump is set to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki for their first one-on-one meeting

I don’t disagree with your comment, but this strengthens Trump, not weakens him when he meets Putin. He can look in Putin’s eyes and say in essence “WTF”. BTW, I personally think we should cutoff any company that allows Russian access to the Internet, this will not mean the Russians will not be able to try to subvert, make it much more difficult for them and isolate them. Since they did their work through the Internet, start to remove official Russian access to it.

Yeah....they will get to see the “EVIDENCE” that the “JUST US” dept. has against them!!

No, no they won't. Mueller will withhold it, because it's all BS anyhow. No way he releases it. And he'll get away with not releasing it, too.

“If this wasn’t a political move, why announce right before a big meeting b/w world leaders?”

Because it’s 100% political, they have the same non-case and they need to distract from Strzok and attack the President prior to his meeting.

“Officers” can mean a few things. FSB, military, etc.

Mueller can call Putin to arrest them.

I crack me up.

“I thought the DNC told the FBI to get F*cked when they wanted to see the DNC COMPUTER!!! So HOW do they KNOW WHO “hacked” the DNC Computer???”

Sorry, it’s under investigation so we’ll never need to show evidence or prove anything.

You’ll just have the Rachel Madcows preaching to the brainwashed masses how “meaningful” this is.

The GOP is going to sit back and do...NOTHING, while the DNC runs roughshod over them. I'm entirely fed up with this bullspit.

Let him indict Russians. Who cares? He's irrelevant and any Russians involved are expendible. As far as I am concerned the whole thing boils down to giving Flynn a pardon for his ridiculous process "crime". Everyone else is expendible.

They were given lucrative contracts by the Russian government to make ham sandwiches for the Russian Army

Did the Grand Jury indict the sandwiches?

If Russia did indeed act to disrupt our elections (as a state not as individuals) then I find it highly unlikely that China and others haven’t been doing the same thing for a long time. Perhaps we can leverage this investigation to bring to light all the shenanigans that have been going on for decades.... Clintons getting help from China for example.

"There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig America’s elections, there's no evidence that that has happened in the past or that it will happen this time, and so I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and make his case to get votes." -- Barack Obama, October 2016

I wish Trump would Tweet that out because you'll never see it mentioned in the MSM.

I would like to point out something.

This entire DNC server and Hillary sloppy server is like a Maury Povich Show episode.

Chick is getting DNA tests on multiple guys to try and find out who the baby daddy is.

Is the daddy Russia? China? Iran? An inside job?

The difference is it need not be just one baby daddy.

The sloppy server and DNC hack were hoes....sluts....around the way girls....THOTS.

And there is no reason to believe those homes didn’t spread their legs for multiple foreign entities creating multiple baby daddy offspring.

What goes unsaid in all of this, is that it’s almost a certainty that Democrat (Hillary’s team) were trying to hack Trump’s operation for months on end.

Does anyone seriously think this old hag wasn’t directing her team to hack into any tenth string on up Trump operative?

Hopefully one of the Russians indicted does show up.

That thought has occurred to me as well. Putin can get one of the 12 GRU officers to "volunteer" to act as a defendant. Offer him up for extradition. Fly him to New York and go to immigration and say "Here I am, arrest me."

Then get the lawyers involved in discovery. Demand that the servers be seized and held under the authority of the Court, and that they be made available to the defense for an "independent" forensic examination. And demand a speedy trial.

In all likelihood, Putin will not do this. He will thumb his nose at these indictments. And that's probably what he should do.

“We are witnessing a coup happening right in front of our eyes...”

...and it’s being done with full arrogance, contumely, insolence,
extra-legality, extra-constitutionality, with the full force of the deep state and enforcement authority of ANTIFA.

IMHO
