"Special counsel Robert Mueller's efforts to uncover the Russian interference are not a "hoax" or a "witch hunt" as President Trump has argued. They are serious and professional efforts that have now borne fruit. "

I thought this info came from a Ukrainian media report, not any series gumshoeing by Weasel Mueller.

‘Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, characterized the allegations in the indictment as “incontrovertible.” The New York Times reported over the weekend that its Russian sources have now revealed that more than 1,000 people in Russia were involved for over three years.’

Wow, that is strange because I characterize the allegations and indictment as nonsense!

“...It is a felony for foreign nationals to participate in American federal elections, and it is a felony for any Americans knowingly to assist them....”
***************************************************************
Jeez...is it a felony for American nationals to participate in foreign countries’ elections?

It would be a humorous thing to bring the Russians into a US court, and the KGB shows up to be witnesses, and lay out evidence that the US engaged in participation in Russia’s 2011 legislative election and the March 2012 Russian presidential election. I think the judge would halt the case, and bring the Mueller team in....grinning as he asks them if they really want to open this can of worms.

"The New York Times reported over the weekend that its Russian sources have now revealed that more than 1,000 people in Russia were involved for over three years.....why didn't our 60,000 domestic, and God only knows how many foreign, spies catch this Russian interference?"

Uhhhh, nope! However....Comey-McCabe & Co "FBI INC", the BEST OF THE BEST instead had the GREAT WISDOM to just blindly use a fake dossier with Russian intelligence to go and secure a FISA Court warrant for spying on a U.S. Presidential campaign.

Yeah, and Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg is going “full speed ahead”. What are all of these people been drinking? If I was a “ham sandwich”, I would be a little “concerned” right now.

It is a felony for foreign nationals to participate in American federal elections, and it is a felony for any Americans knowingly to assist them.

Seems like a whole lot of illegal immigrants have committed felonies AFTER coming to the US. And a lot of Mexican officials and organizations and Americans should be indicted along with them.

I wish some "journalist" would ask Dems if they REALLY care about election laws, and think the laws should be applied equally to everyone. Or are Mexicans above the law like Hillary.

Putin has a good sense of humor. I can see him doing this.

ITEM----Hillary Clinton ran in two Democratic primaries----2008 and 2016-----as well as in the general election in 2016.

ITEM----Intrepid investigator Mueller "uncovered" that the Russian scheme seems to have materialized at some point in 2014.

=========================================

Here's the $64,000 question Mueller's indictment does not address-------
Why didn't the CIA or the NSA or the FBI pick this up?

Were Obama's PDB's falsified?

Dates are important b/c Snowden's' revelations indicate Obama's government spying apparatus began capturing all electronic data on everyone in the U.S. in 2001.

They succeeded in mastering the capture of all keystrokes, telephone calls and digital traffic by 2005.

This we know

<><>(A) that NSA traffic travels through FBI computers, and,

<><> (B) that the CIA keeps constant tabs on Russian spies in Russia....... and elsewhere.

BOOM

Napolitano has simply gone off the deep end. He's been eating too much Swamp Dung. For starters, the Trump described "Witch Hunt Hoax" has never been about "Russian Interference". It's always been about "Trump Collusion". Napolitano has to be full of it (the Swamp Dung) to not be aware of the difference.

In my view, he's lost all credibility. He used to have some good commentary. Ever since he accused "President Obama of going “outside the chain of command in order to spy on Donald Trump" and was roundly chastised by the Swamp for saying it, he has over compensated to the point of total irrelevance.

Napolitano is a first class jackass. These indictments are a frigging joke as is the claim that 13 Russians posting memes on social media and organizing rallies had any effect on anything. The idea is ludicrous.

What's NOT ludicrous is how paid protesters showed up at Trump rallies and attacked unarmed, innocent Americans. Who sponsored THOSE rallies? Who sponsors BLM? Who sponsors Antifa? Why aren't those people under indictment. Anyone know where George Soros is?

Napolitanos says, "However, because the American intelligence community has done similar "disinformation" projects in foreign countries (though not on this scale) ..."

Couple points. He hasn't really linked the Russin troll strategy and tactics to a Russian government mission to advance Trump. And as far as "on this scale," read this ... Rescuing Boris - TIME Magazine

The outcome was by no means inevitable. Last winter Yeltsin's approval ratings were in the single digits. There are many reasons for his change in fortune, but a crucial one has remained a secret. For four months, a group of American political consultants clandestinely participated in guiding Yeltsin's campaign. Here is the inside story of how these advisers helped Yeltsin achieve the victory ...

To preserve security, a contract was drawn between the International Industrial Bancorp Inc. of San Francisco (a company Braynin managed for its Moscow parent) and Dresner-Wickers (Dresner's consulting firm in Bedford Hills, New York). The Americans would work for four months, beginning March 1. They would be paid $250,000 plus all expenses and have an unlimited budget for polling, focus groups and other research. ...

Having helped establish the campaign's major theme, the Americans then set out to modify it. The Americans used their focus-group coordinator, Alexei Levinson, to determine what exactly Russians most feared ...

Yeltsin resisted--and that caused the team to reach out to Bill Clinton's all-purpose political aide, Dick Morris.

Communicating in code--Clinton was called the Governor of California, Yeltsin the Governor of Texas--the Americans sought Morris' help.

Looks like a link to Clinton, and EFFECTIVE meddling in a Russian election.

I suppose Napolitano can define "scale" in the sense that 10,000 half baked ineffective people working in a troll farm is far greater than the 20 or 50 people involved in the effective swinging of a Russian election by Americans. But that would just prove he is an agenda-driven hack.

Going after Russians to indict. Mueller’s job security play.

“Why didn’t our 60,000 domestic, and God only knows how many foreign, spies catch this Russian interference?
One answer is information overload.”

Another answer is that they did catch it and considered issue-oriented blog comments by trolls such a big nothing that monitoring made more sense than exposing capabilities. Despite what this ridiculous article says, nothing has been shown that made any difference.

Hillary lost because enough of the electorate saw through her corruption, incompetence, and crime to counterbalance the millions of illegal aliens who campaigned and/or voted for her. What does McMaster think of that? Why isn’t massive foreign election interference being investigated and prosecuted?

That’s a lot of weight to flip. I’ve never trusted that guy. He talks from both sides of his mouth. Ever since Teri Schiavo.
