13 Russian nationals indicted for interfering in US elections

That's all you got for an issue?

It is true that my language varies depending on whether we are talking about prosecution and conviction versus indictment which are vastly different. He may get an indictment just to compel trumps testimony and/or get him to plead or not plead the fifth- and any idiot can get an indictment. And I also said that some pundits speculate that he might just get an indictment and then hand it over to the justice department and let them do what they will with it- and I said I could see that happening because it would be a pussy move and Mueller is a pussy. But I have always said that he will not be prosecuted and convicted of obstruction and that if he is it will be reversed on appeal, as I have always said. And that continues to be my position.

I do realize that this "indictment" versus "conviction" thing is too nuanced for the binary mind, so it could appear shifty to your jaundiced mind.

But I see where you are coming from today. You have butt hurt that the indictments were not rougher on Camp Trump so are flailing around to make some point, even though you don't know what it is.

We are here for you.

I’m just sitting here calling balls and strikes, buddy. We’ll see.

Uh , something is missing

They are accused of spreading derogatory information about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, denigrating Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio --

Was anything they said UNTRUE ?

Neither word implies veracity

Clinton is the devil incarnate, so if some Zimbabwian wants to bash her, its ok by me.

Maga

What is with the old spacecadet and his faggy coloured fonts? He reminds me of my assistant's 12 year old's email. And she likes to make bracelets from elastic bands.

Okay, so while you are sitting there, you are still going to post what you allege that I said, right?

Or you want to move away from that?

Let me state... my post had nothing to do with Trump. It was was about the idea that the FEDs could find a way to charge foreigners with a crime for talking about american elections.

This is Conspiracy to Defraud America.
Its so vague... I have no doubt Hillary and Comey and those getting the FISA warrant could be successfully charged with it.

and note for Comey...
this is the intent required... according to this article...


The intent required for a conspiracy to defraud the government is that the defendant possessed the intent (a) to defraud, (b) to make false statements or representations to the government or its agencies in order to obtain property of the government, or that the defendant performed acts or made statements that he/she knew to be false, fraudulent or deceitful to a government agency, which disrupted the functions of the agency or of the government.

Right. Russians weren't trying to get Trump elected. They were trying to sow discord. They knew Trump was the most controversial of the candidates and sought to promote him more because it brought more controversy. It was a classic psy-ops campaign. And you know what? It worked. We are more divided than ever.

Your thoughts on Hillary dirt Trump tower meeting?

Do you really think Robert Mueller is a “dumb shit” and that, by implication, you are smarter than him?

I think this move makes him look like a dumb shit...

I'm sure he has a high IQ...not sure if it's higher than mine, but smart people do stupid shit all the time...

let me guess - am I interfering in Mueller's process now because i made some derogatory comments?

At least Trumps campaign didn't hire a co to manufacture a fake dossier to smear her. They beat her fair and square.

Or should I say, they let her beat herself?

Deputy AG Rosenstein said "there's 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".
