12 Russians accused of hacking Democrats in 2016 have plenty of Florida connections (Awan?)
Miami Herald ^ | 7/13/18 | ALEX DAUGHERTY

WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice’s indictment on Friday that accused 12 Russian military officials of directly meddling in the 2016 election has myriad connections to South Florida, where stolen emails eventually brought down Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, stolen internal documents aired unflattering details about a Democratic primary race and a Florida-based provocateur with connections to President Donald Trump was in contact with the hackers.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller charged 12 Russian military officials with engaging in cyber operations that involved releases of stolen documents from the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, the DNC and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The indictment, announced by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, claims the Russian agents were trying to interfere with the 2016 presidential election, and tried to hide their connections to the Russian government by creating false identities and using cryptocurrency to pay for the operation.

Emails stolen by hackers showed that then-DNC chair Wasserman Schultz expressed frustration with Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, contradicting claims by Wasserman Schultz that the Democratic Party remained neutral during the presidential primary between Clinton and Sanders. Wasserman Schultz resigned as DNC chairwoman on the eve of the 2016 Democratic convention.

So we’ve paid 7 million so far for this? Hey Mueller, you were supposed to look for Trump collusion with Russia...which you and everyone else in the world knew was bull Obama. Found anything yet? No? They fold up shop and take a hike you freak.

Why no names of indicted released? Do these people even exist? After Mueller indicted a company that never existed, it’s fair to ask this question, and demand proof of their existence.

..... I wonder what would happen if Trump persuaded Putin to have the accused fight the “Hacking” charges.

Time for Trump to come back and fire the top floors of Justice and the FBI.

Mollie ‏@MZHemingway Anyone who months ago read HPSCI/Nunes report on Russian meddling learned very little new information from today’s indictment. https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1017879095282151424 Devin Nunes ‏@DevinNunes Specifically you only had to read page 4 findings 7-10. Just reading Chapter 2 you would have got the gist of it..all this despite the ridiculous redactions. Sadly the media ignored most of our findings on March 22 and the whole report since April 27. https://twitter.com/DevinNunes/status/1017883281465970689

It is sad that nothing regarding the law that comes from Federal officials can be trusted. When it comes to the elites they spend all of there time covering up the crimes they commit. And then they make up stories to cover their tracks.

They completely covered up the truth in the email investigation. They Hid the Awan crimes and all of those associated with it. Now they need a cover for their Russia investigation, and we are supposed to believe anything they say. And the timing of these charges just coincidentally comes right before Trump is to meet with Russia.

I believe Awan is the guilty party, but since Rosenstein stated no Americans were implicated, the DOJ is not going after Awan, because that would implicate Debby Wasserman Schultz, if not the other congress parties who gave Awan access to everything, as well.

The indictment can be viewed on the justice department’s website. All 12 defendants are named, identified by rank and which GRU group they work for, street addresses of the offices, etc.

The level of detail is literally incredible (as in I don’t believe it). Multiple double agents inside Russian military intel would be required, and most of it seems unprovable. We’ll see how many of these turn out to be dead, fake, unemployed waiters, etc. Then there’s the little problem of the DNC not turning over their server for analysis — presumably the hacking claims comes from the old Crowdstrike investigation. If this set of defendants contests the case, there will be prohibitive “sources and methods” problems.

All in all, it’s another “creative-writing” exercise, cobbled together out of known pieces, with a little magic stirred in, timed to create discord during Trump’s meeting with Putin. Maybe they can have a laugh over it.

The timeline of events in the indictment might prove very useful for those who analyze such things.

LOL - I’m sure all the 12 officers leave their calling cards when they hack a server.

Thanks for the information. I was wondering if like the Russian company that hired a U.S. law firm to represent them in court, whether these defendants will do the same.

The timing of this move by the DOJ is ludicrous, and so obvious.

And of course NOT ONE of our “Journalists” points out the very suspicious timing that 12 meaningless indictments were made public in a press conference the day after Srozk exposed the wide spread deep political corruption and creepy incompetence in DOJ and the FBI.

Don’t overlook the timing drives the utter damning public hearing (where Strozk creepy incompetence and narcissistic bloviating which exposed the deep wide spread political corruption in the DOJ, the Muller Clown show and the FBI) out of the “news” cycle and off the Sunday political shows.

Oh yes. Don’t forget Our President is meeting with Putin, the creator of all things evil, on Monday. Rosenstein deciding to impact foreign policy and undermine President Trump’s ability to negotiate at the risk of our national security.

Smirkers in chief: Rosenstein/Strzok

Let’s see all the evidence that Mueller has (supposedly gathered in support of these junk indictments. Otherwise, it’s nothing but a rotten ham sandwich indictment of persons who would be tried before a kangaroo court.
