Here’s the thing: this is minor — $100K in Facebook ads. Seriously?
Outside influencers and foreign agents have long been welcomed by the Democrat party. George Soros has done more to change elections than any one person or organization in recent memory. How many hundreds of millions has George Soros spent to influence foreign elections? Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the “central focus of my life.”
The left shrugged at the millions in foreign contributions to elect Barack Hussein Obama. I documented thousands in donations. No one cared. Read my book: The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America (Simon & Schuster, 2010).

Special counsel Mueller: Russians conducted ‘information warfare’ against US during election to help Donald Trump win
- Special counsel Robert Mueller said a grand jury had indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.
- The defendants allegedly conducted “information warfare” against the United States election process to help Donald Trump win.
- The defendants used fake American personas, social media platforms, and other Internet media to advance their scheme, according to an indictment.
Deputy AG Rosenstein: Indictment involves 8 criminal countsA federal grand jury has indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for alleged interference in the 2016 presidential elections, during which they boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump, special counsel Robert Mueller‘s office said Friday.
The indictment says that a Russian organization called the Internet Research Agency sought to wage “information warfare” against the United States by using fictitious American personas and social media platforms and other Internet-based media.
While that effort was launched in 2014, by early to mid-2016 the defendants were “supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump … and disparaging Hillary Clinton,” the indictment charges.
As part of those efforts, the defendants also encouraged minority groups to either not vote for in the election or to vote for a third-party candidate. Both actions would have hurt Clinton, who received significant support from minority voters.
And after the election of Trump as president in November 2016, the defendants used fake personas to organize and coordinate political rallies in support of Trump, while also doing the same to create rallies “protesting the results” of the election, the indictment said.
On one day, Nov. 12, 2016, the defendants organized a rally in New York to “show your support for President-elect Donald Trump” while at the same time organizing a “Trump is NOT my president rally” that also was held in New York.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said the defendants created hundreds of accounts using fake personas on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to advance their scheme. The accused also allegedly used a “computer infrastructure, based partly in the United States, to hide the Russian origin of their activities and to avoid detection” by US authorities, the indictment said.
Rosenstein said there is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the scheme, nor is there any allegation that the scheme affected the outcome of the election.
The White House had no immediate comment on the indictment. According to NBC News, President Trump was briefed Friday morning personally by Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray about the indictment, before it was publicly released.
Under U.S law, foreign nationals generally are barred from federal election efforts.

“By in or around May 2014, the organization’s strategy included interfering with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with the stated goal of “spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general,” the indictment said.
An announcement from Mueller’s office said that the government accuses all the defendants of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Three defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud.
Five defendants are charged with aggravated identity theft.

The media will spin this anthill into a mountain, WE WON! I have tweeted many times taking sides in elections in France, Germany and Britain in the past year. Using this logic, those countries should indict me and have me extradited to put on trial. Seriously it is the same thing.

It would be an even bigger story if not for the Florida HS shooting. I’m sure there’ll be conspiracy theories claiming Trump needed a false flag to take the “heat” off of these indictments.

Russians like to travel to America and buy Trump properties. They won’t be doing that! Russia recently advised its hackers to avoid travel, lest they be arrested like Karim Baratov in Canada.

Russia did not help Trump
– Russia opposed Hillary
– because she caused the Ukrainian revolution
– Russia has made this very clear
– and Hillary and Soros
– DID push the Ukrainian revolution
– when Hillary was Secretary of State
– there is strong evidence for this
– in Hillary’s leaked emails

Dirty cop Mueller must answer for his role in all this. He can start by explaining why he selected half a dozen Hillary supporters, and donators to her campaign, and made them part of his team to investigate Trump.

I think Mueller was beginning to feel the IG investigative noose tightening for top FBI officials including himself in this whole destroy-Trump conspiracy and decided not to go too far. They colluded with members of the media to release false information designed to derail Trump’s candidacy for president. Comey was caught red-handed leaking confidential information to the NYT via his law professor friend.

The leftist media hacks are already spinning this so as to exonerate Hillary. The fake dossier used by her campaign and the FBI to obtain the FISA warrant against Trump is not going away.

The same law professor ‘friend’ is now Comey’s attorney. How convenient. Now the likelihood of calling this ‘friend’ as a witness, and/or deservedly charging him as a co-conspiritor in a leaking classified information to the press, will be more difficult. Comey’s corruption and traitorous attitude and lies under oath, make me sick. He is the WORST kind of human being, much less American. I hope he comes to be remembered as the filth that he is.

That’s not exactly true. If an attorney-at-law is suspected to be guilty of felonies, simply because it is representing another purported felon, does not make it more difficult to charge them. However, attorney-client privilege enters and one cannot be forced to testify, or give evidence, under said privilege. It’s truly a crook’s crook.

Unless the Court is smart enough to question the attorney on things that occurred prior to him becoming Comey’s attorney? What was the relationship back when the memos were given for dissemination to the media?

Because they saved us from HILLARY! Make sense?! I would personally like to thank Mr. Putin for his help. Crime boss Hillary would have destroyed what’s left of this country. Think Supreme Court nominations, completely open borders, a Swedish-style military with a Muslim in charge, I could go on for several pages. Thank you, Vladimir!

Bingo. Make no mistake, dirty cop Mueller was, and is, part of team Hillary. He covered up her crimes when she was Secretary of State including the Uranium One scandel, pay for play, etc. Then crooked cop Comey took over from there.

So when is he going to indict the “dreamers” who agitate and demonstrate against our election process and our elected president by the hundreds of thousands on-line and in the streets?
This Mueller, this self-evident disgrace, is the father of the decline and fall of the FBI, which sees its present lame duck director offering a personal, public apology to the families of American teenagers mass-murdered in their school, the day after which Mueller drops this “indictment” as evidence of his own work product of more than a year — that and obstructing our duly elected president and our country’s path back to Rule of Law by colluding with the Leftist press and persecuting various American citizens, including a retired U.S. Army General.
Like Michael Savage so accurately said about the Trumps’ need on January 20, 2017 to clean out the White House “down to the studs,” the whole obama Department of Justice has to be demolished and renovated.

Mueller and Comey among many, many others should have resigned rather than taking policy direction from a black African muslim. But they were devoted to the Constitution and the lawful chain of command, regardless that the lawful chain of command had been infiltrated and broken by an interloper and congenital con man. And so devoted to the Constitution and the lawful chain of command were they that they took policy direction form a black African muslim.
I’m waiting to see when Israel indicts obama for meddling with it’s election, or the English, for that matter, who obama told to “go to the back of the cue” should they pass Brexit. That’s obama at the height of his chameleon nature, aping the verbiage that is decidedly not his own, but theirs, in mocking derision. We may never recover from obama.

All the money spent, just for a few minor charges, and the defendants are probably not here to try. The real damage done by the Russians, was to get the Democrats and the media to support overthrow of the Trump presidency. The Russians probably hated Hillary, because she was becoming too expensive to deal with. $140 million for the Uranian One deal…how much would she want for more deals?
