Rosenstein said,
"There's no allegation that any American was knowingly involved in the conspiracy, Rosenstein said. Nor was there an allegation that the efforts of the defendants affected the outcome of the election. The indictment, he told reporters, is a reminder that "people are not always who they appear to be." He said the defendants wanted to undermine confidence in our democracy.
"They told him that that the indictments did not allege cooperation or collusion with Trump campaign. "

Soooo... not only is there still zero evidence of any trump campaign wrong doing, but wtf is the charge against these 13 russians?

"Working with the Internet Research Agency, the defendants "posted derogatory information" about several candidates, the indictment says, and by mid-2016, their efforts included "supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton," the indictment says. Beginning in April, 2016, the defendants concealed their identities in order to purchase political advertisements on U.S. social media and other online sites. These ads were paid for using Russian bank accounts and registered in the names of fictitious U.S. residents."

Ok, so marketing under a fake name is apparently now a crime.

Try reading the article or the indictment. The indictment lays out what they are charged with including title and section of the US code. Yes, violating campaign laws is a crime the same as it always was. Did you think it wasn't somehow just because russians were involved?

Ok Bob, enlighten us as to how marketing is somehow a campaign law violation.

If lying about a presidential candidate is a crime, when can we expect CNN executive indictment?

Concealing identity to buy ads is what most PACs are formed for.

"This attack ad on Politician paid for by Large Banks, H1-B Coolie Contractors, and Illegal Employers Concerned Citizens For America."

How is this any different than folks here who had posted anti-Hillary stuff and ..... Hey, wait a minute!

Trump collusion is a giant failed conspiracy theory.

The election fraud report, as commissioned by trump's executive order, is coming out early march.

How many Russians were working in Trump's campaign?

So this is a separate indictment and does not include any American. The probe against collusion goes on.


yes it does, maybe some decade they MIGHT find something on Trump's people.
9   anonymous   2018 Feb 16, 6:59pm  

For me,it's always has been about money laundering,tax evasion,fraud.
I have no problem with Trump being innocent of collusion.

He's GUILTY of being a 5 time DRAFT DODGER,admitted sexual harasser,adulterer & teller of fibs.
His voters are GUILTY of electing trash.

Whereas Clinton got no deferments and won 3 purple hearts, a CIB, and a Bronze Star when he volunteered for the Infantry.

wtf?????? 30 million and these nutjobs file indictments against online trolls?????? WTF is wrong with this country????????????

Muelelr needs to be indicted first-this is ridiculous. So if someone from America posts online about Russia-will the KGB indict them??? WTF

Haha have you seen the numbers? The 13 Russian trolls reached 11.4 million people via FB ads... depending on the ad's efficacy, that should cost maybe $50k.

HRC spent $1.5 billion, with CNN and every other MSM rag shilling for her... and these tards think a $50k investment into FB ads is a problem. So weak.

You really think Russia only spent $50k?

These indictments are very interesting. I wonder if Mueller has played a round or two of 17D chess. Is that "check" he just called back to Trump?

Republicans & Democrats.


Then why vote for either. Go libertarian!

This wasn't "russia". This was 13 Russia nationals. The indictment claims they were spending $1.25 million/ month on their operation. The ads they mention would absolutely not cost more than $100k max, so I estimated $50k.

This is a tiny fraction of what open society (funded by George Soros' s billions) pays to influence our elections. How is open society totes cool, but this tiny 13 Russian operation is somehow illegal?

Don't be silly. These people were paid by the government. That has been well established.

No, your assumptions have not been established. Turn off the CNN dude, its lying to you.

Of course it has.

"The indictment charges 13 Russian nationals and three businesses – including an internet firm tied to the Kremlin – with conspiracy, identity theft, and failing to register as foreign agents."
21   CBOEtrader   2018 Feb 17, 2:34pm  

a statement requires proof, or perhaps some evidence, to be considered established.

I am certainly not saying they arent Russian agents. I am absolutely saying the MSM garbage will spin this to their narrative, which is all a lie. Here's an example: https://twitter.com/robjective/status/964680123885613056
"The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election."

Also, from the indictment, the ads resulted in 11.4 million impressions. Do you have any idea how weak that is? If this was a Russian plot, it was a YUGE failure. If this was a group of random trolls, it was still weak.

My favorite part of the indictment was how the russian trolls mentioned they liked "Trump and Sanders". So they are bipartisan trolls at least :) TBF, who can blame them. HRC wanted ww3 w russia, whereas both Trump and Sanders wanted peace.

I still dont see how this can be considered a crime.
22   CajunSteve   2018 Feb 17, 2:39pm  

So are you still arguing that it wasn't the Russian government? Or have you changed subjects to admit that it was the government but try to imply that it didn't change the results of the election?

Does that mean when Trump gets indicted for Russian collusion, Bernie gets indicted too, since they BOTH benefited from these Russian trolls?

How many more years should it take to go over Trump's list of campaign workers to see which one is Russian?

I don't imagine Trump would publicly list the Russian operatives working for him.

But, in the past, these types of investigations take 3+ years typically.

So. it's really that hard to figure out where the paychecks from the campaign went?

The link to the indictment is right in the article. Click on it. Then go look up the statutes for each count in the federal register. I wouldn't dream of denying you the opportunity to embark on a voyage of discovery allowing you to improve your knowledge of the laws and legal system you live under. Enlightenment is a wonderful thing.

Mueller shared all the financial records from the investigation with you? Including all the ad purchases? That was certainly nice of him. Are you some kind of special friend? Can you post them for us to see also or did Robert ask you to keep them to yourself?
