So wait you actually believe Trump is something other than a vain opportunist with extremely poor judgement and character? Every word he says is expertly calculated and coordinated by Putin himself?

Well, depending on who you ask you get different opinions on that, you see.

I think what the Russians did is fine, and even good. I really don't see what the problem is. Some of the people have identity theft charges which isnt cool but theres no details.

Is this the first indictment to link a US Citizen to the Innanet Research Agency?

I think I found his LinkedIn:

Let's hazard an Occam's-razor guess as to the full depth of that relationship:

:phone: "Vlad! Vlad! You gotta destroy those tapes! You know, the ones we made about that bed Obama slept in?"

:phoneb: "Donal, you specifically request we maked those tapes. You asked for copies. MOOLTIPLE COPIES! For showing off! WE DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF ALL OF THEM."

:phone: "VLAD IM BIGLY hosed. DONT gently caress ME ON THIS VLAD"

I trust that if Mueller is investigating every possible foreign source of election influence, we will be seeing indictments handed down on Saudi and Israeli nationals anytime now.

"some russians went on reddit and even posted some YouTube comments" being the culmination of millions of dollars and over a year of investigation by multiple intelligence agencies and this is the loving best they can deal? Lmaoooo never before have I agreed with a moridin post so much

i forgot the name of the fund used for hillary's internet manipulation and googled 'hillary clinton social media propaganda' and the entire page of google was about how only russia does this

after remembering it was called correct the record, i looked up the donors again just now and noticed her top donor for this project was chris albrecht, former head of HBO who is now CEO of starz entertainment, who married a woman 34 years his junior, got divorced, choked out his next girlfriend in a parking lot, then paid another young girl $400,000 for also choking her in public

good thing we've got this russia fantasy to chase, real life just doesn't sound interesting. there's no story there. too much effort to help actual people or punish actual villains

Also I probably don't need to remind many of you that promoting Trump over the 'mainstream' republican candidates during their primary is exactly what the Clinton campaign did. So is that only a bad thing to do if you're Russian?

Yeah saying "unwitting" in an indictment doesn't really legally clear anyone of anything, though it does seem Mueller's team is being careful not to throw shade before they have evidence (previous leaks notwithstanding)

Criminal prosecution needs to prove Mens Rea (guilty mind) which means the defendant had either: intent to cause a crime, or knowledge that their action/ lack of action would cause a crime.

Language such as "unwitting" suggests that they've given up on the whole Mens Rea thing.

from the OP posted:

In addition to disparaging Clinton, they denigrated other candidates, "such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio," and they supported Bernie Sanders and then Donald Trump. In the latter half of 2016, they used groups to discourage minorities from voting in the 2016 presidential election.

The popular vote doesn't matter, so all this about them influencing regular American citizens is a moot point. Hillary won that anyway.

So who are the members of the electoral college that were influenced by Russians? Evidence?
