“The effort also included bogus Facebook ads and social media postings that prosecutors say were aimed at influencing public opinion and sowing discord on hot-button social issues.”

And of course it gives them an excuse not to turn over whatever “evidence” they may have. The old “ongoing investigation” that will never be over trick.

It would be funny if any Russians suspected admit they had access to a US “bathroom server” and that they had contact with Imran Awan. What would the liberals say to THAT?

These are 12 Russian military intelligence officers (GRU). They are just following orders and will never be extradited to the US. This is just more happy horsesh*t from Mueller who wants to up the number of indictments from his investigation.

...aimed at influencing public opinion...

Isn’t that the very nature of a political campaign??

I wonder if obama might worry that Israel could indict him and john (who I believe visited Vietnam) Kerry for their election meddling ?

I understand Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale are involved.

What makes a Facebook ad bogus? Is it that the only goal of the purchaser (I was surprised how cheap they are - like $25 or so) is to get users to click on the ad, rather than to advance a cause?

[LegendHasIt]

Forget for a moment the BS coming from Mueller - Rosenstein;

Any one who has their mind changed by an anonymous Facebook ad or a Facebook post should not be allowed to vote in the first place.

And anyone who thinks that it is a crime for those anonymous ads / posts to be placed, should not be allowed to write parking tickets in East Podunk, much less threaten President of the USA and his associates.

Not quite a ham sandwich. Maybe a foot long. So does Mueller even realize that those are the same objectives of just about every Facebook post. Lol.
