Here are the charges:
INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY, LLC was created as a 'software agency'
INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY, LLC received funding from a Russian
INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY, LLC operated social media pages and groups designed to attract U.S. audiences
Social media pages posted divisive political and social issues
Some 'defendants' traveled to the US under false pretenses (working in a software company)
INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY, LLC posted derogatory information 'about a number of candidates' and 'disparaged Hillary Clinton'
INTERNET RESEARCH AGENCY, LLC bought political ads on social media
Some defendants 'posed as US persons and communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump campaign' hoping to coordinate political activities (they are not being charged with being successful, just trying)
Defendants are charged with "making expenditures in connection with the 20167 U.S. presidential election without proper regulatory disclosure".
These are the charges?
On a scale of Influence-Operations up to Hacking-the-Election-OMG-Trump-is-Illegitimate, this represents child play that occurs in Every. Election. In. Every. Country.

    Smoke screen. None of these charges will ever get to trial. No one will be extradited, etc.

    Dastardly, demagoguing, democrats can't find anything negative to charge Trump with, but they hope to get the House and Senate back,in '018 which means an impeachment for sure.for Trump.

    My take on this? Mueller didn't find anything on Trump or his campaign. He's a good democrat so he's not going to indict Hillary or Obama. He's been at this thing for months, now what to do? !!!How about indict foreign nationals (Russians) that will never be arrested because they are not in the US.

    I am confused...does free speech only belong to Americans??? or are they "natural" rights of every individual...and the govt fears that those who attended the govt indoctrination program known as "public high school" could be tricked into thinking other than how the govt wants them to think...lol

    Mueller should be embarrassed to even take this job, and should be just dismissed before wasting more money on it.

    Many are brainwashed by the socialist state via tv, newspapers, useful idiots online, and public school. They never learn to think rationally and don't even realize they must.

    I agree, Mueller should be under investigation for Uranium One and the hiring of both lovers in the FBI case.
    Also, why is he not investigating the use of NOTmillions of our tax payer dollars to send his personal brown shirts to Israel to try to make sure BiBi was defeated, and they were making a difference. Then he did influence in the elections in Canada and Europe. I am more concerned over the fraud in the use of my taxdollars tto throw foreign elections, than in some silly Russian posts.
    Also, why is Soros getting off for doing more even than Russia did, hiring blacks to create violence and disrupt Trump rallies?

    Of course other countries "interfere" (which means put out their agendas". So did Hillary against Trump and Sanders. So did Trump against Hillary. So did Wikileaks against Hillary. So did Obama by going over to England to campaign against BREXIT. So did Obama trying to knock Netanyahu (sp) from Israel. BIG DEAL.

    I can imagine the shock snowflakes will have while coping with a socialist system they helped to bring about when they receive "or else" work orders from some more than equal comrade overlord.
    Their hideaway thumb-sucking "safe zones" will become subject to legalized harassing searches without a warrant.

    45% of Millenials choose socialism over 42% choose capitalism and 13 % communism or other.
    With Thirty years of brainwashing you would think the public schools would have done better.
    Unless Trump is able to jail the guilty mutinous seditious slime this country's days are numbered.

    There is that ultimate globalist goal of a (UN-run?) socialist utopia that will open all borders wide to hordes of those who live to fulfill the prophecy of an Islamic worldwide caliphate.
    Ha! Ha! Ha! What can possibly go wrong?
    Psst! On so many levels.

    I am impressed by how productive these mutinous govt officials are in subverting the liberty and freedom they were hired to protect.

    You should have heard Rush on tmy car radio cut in when that fairy tale was being read.
    "What?" he exclaimed. "No Americans involved?"
    Me dino was meanwhile thinking~
    Yet once again in the filth-oozing swamps of Oz, some upper level flying monkey covers up for The Evil Hag.

    Mueller slimes around in a part of the swamp that no self-respecting dino would so much as wade through.

    Briefly watching Fox News when TV surfing during lunch, me dino heard it said that the indicted Russians will now have problems passing through international airports.
    I was so impressed that I watched the ending of Sand Pebbles because I forgot how it ended since I saw it way back when.
    Spoiler alert! Steve McQueen's heroic character is killed off by some Chinese shooters sneaking around at night. Russians had nothing to do with it.

    Found something and came back here in time to edit. Those Russians got indicted just in time since passports are to become more expensive.
    Just send someone else to take care of your business when international airports are involved.
