Friday indictments

The Justice Department announced indictments in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election against 12 Russian nationals, accusing them of engaging in a "sustained effort" to hack Democrats' emails and computer networks.

All 12 defendants are members of the GRU, a Russian federation intelligence agency within the main intelligence directorate of the Russian military, who were acting in "their official capacities."

DOJ says the hacking targeted Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, with the intention to "release that information on the internet under the names DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 and through another entity."

Twelve Russians.  Which means we won't get any satisfaction. What it may also mean, however, is that Mueller is nearing the end of that facet of the investigation, which must include Junior's Trump Tower fiasco. I do hope we get to see Junior indicted before long.

"There is no allegation in this indictment that any American citizen committed a crime," he said at a news conference. "There is no allegation that the conspiracy altered the vote count or changed any election result."

Trying to mitigate His Lardship's inevitable shitfit? He has to go to Putin now with this information.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

Is requesting and receiving stolen documents from a foreign agent not a crime?
