In these indictments it says the Russians worked to get people to vote Jill Stein instead of Clinton

[herding cats]

It’s in there now for all to see. It’s not alledged that Russia was directing US voters away from Hillary toward Stein by using propaganda, it’s now an indisputable fact.

1. Jill Stein may well end up in prison

Lock them all up

[herding cats]

3. Thats fine by me.

Every person who had a hand in this needs to be punished to the full extent of the law. If it turns out she was knowingly involved, lock her up!

[sheshe2]

4. ++++++++++++++++++++

[R B Garr]

26. She's a criminal. An absolute fraud. Sickening. nt

[Afromania]

27. LOCK THEM UP!!

[uponit7771]

33. The person who went to Russia and sat by VPoot at a dinner and was ...

... helped by the Russians has NOTHING to do with Mueller's investigation / reported by FAUX news

[malaise]

35. Hehehehehehehe

Fux will be going down with the rest of them

[lapfog_1]

2. If only our elections were officiated like an NFL game

instant replay...

Upon further review... all of Jill Steins votes are awarded to Hillary Clinton.

Trump assessed 5 million votes and the election is replayed... "loss of down and yardage!"

[uponit7771]

34. +1, you make a good point ... there's tighter regulations in the NFL than in US elections

[lapfog_1]

38. and remedies!

Elections have virtually no remedies.

The one remedy that the Presidential election has (the electoral college) failed as it has lost track of its mission.

5. You're opening up a real Pandora's box there as Stein's name wasn't the only one mentioned besides..

trump.

14. I think the bigger story here is Cruz and Rubio...

This shows they are the victims also so it looks like Mueller is trying to turn the Repubes against Trump. Will be interesting to start hearing from them and how they feel about this, but I doubt they'll keep sticking up for Trump now that's it's been proven the Russians were working against them too.

[herding cats]

23. If the facts lead to them being victims, and its clear now they do, then their supporters...

Have every right to be outraged, as do both of them! Maybe they’ll even get on board with protecting us from further Russian meddling after this.

I’m not sure Mueller is doing anything here other than following the trail where it took him and issuing these indictments. The rest is just ugly facts that we needed to hear.

[BoneyardDem]

40. So Bernie would have lost by an ever bigger margin to Clinton

..had it not been for the Bots? Well, most of us already figured that out, I thank Mueller for the confirmation.

[herding cats]

10. I didnt author the indictment.

We all witnessed what took place up close and in person and we’re bound to talk about this now that it’s out there. Yes, Russia worked to support Bernie in an attempt to prevent Hillary from winning.

Ok, it’s out there. We’ve suspected as much from things we saw being spread across the internet so let’s not act surprised.

[brush]

15. I know you didn't author it, and I'm not surprised either. What I meant by Pandora's box is...

that Sanders' name is mentioned and there is a danger of starting the Bernie v Hillary war again here.

[herding cats]

20. I get what you were saying

I’m just hoping we can be adults about this and accept the facts as they now stand.

People were played here in the US by Russian operatives. It influenced our election and had a decided impact on our conversations. I don’t want to see us go down that rabbit hole again.

[dalton99a]

6. Kick

[oberliner]

7. And Bernie

:large

[Generic Brad]

22. That would be your over the top Bernie Bros

We had many of them here actively dividing us.

[oberliner]

37. It got really ugly around here

That's for sure.

[Docreed2003]

9. Not surprised by this...

I, and many of us as well, witnessed this crap first hand. Shit, I nearly got caught up in it myself with the onslaught of constant online propaganda. Had it not been for my wife metaphorically knocking me over the head, I could have been one of those people...and I consider myself reasonably intelligent and a lifelong Democrat! We must be diligent and we must question every single meme and attack on Dems, whether from the right or sadly even from the left. We cannot allow 2016 to happen again.

[herding cats]

11. Hug your wife for me.

She sounds like a definite keeper!

[Docreed2003]

13. That is the truth...

She is a lifesaver in more ways than one and keeps me grounded...

[brush]

12. Yep, we all saw the vicious attacks on Hillary here, and I don't have to mention they weren't only..

from trump.

[herding cats]

16. It wasnt just here.

I saw this everyplace I went to talk about the election online. Every single place I went the influence of the propaganda was there for all to see. That’s how prevalent it was.

[Docreed2003]

17. Oh I know

I’m frankly embarrassed about some of the posts I made here during the 2016 primary....I’m embarrassed that I allowed myself to get swept up in the sea of disinformation purely because I thought and hoped and wanted a leftist candidate/President. I ultimately worked, alongside my wife, to canvass for Hillary...but I could have done it sooner, I could have fought against the propaganda, and I could have been a stronger voice and that is the truly embarrassing and sad part.

[Squinch]

24. You want to know a true confession?

First, let me preface it: I was really young! I was really stupid!

But...

... I voted for...

... Perot.

I, too, apologize. I too am embarrassed. We all make mistakes. Somehow I think you'll never make that one again.

We live, we learn.

[Docreed2003]

30. Thanks...

I’d like to think I’m old enough to know better, but it is what it is. All we can do is keep up the current resistance!

[octoberlib]

18. Trump needs to step the fuck down. NOW. I am so pissed.

[Blue_Tires]

19. Hate to say I told you so...

[Squinch]

21. Who's surprised. Happy at the indictments, yes, but surprised? No.

[zipplewrath]

25. Technically they're still allegations

It is for the jury to decide if they are facts.
And the defense may dispute them.

[beachbum bob]

28. we saw the messaging here in DU in the lead up to the election

no small wonder why Stein was at Putin's table..

[Hekate]

32. Which begs the question: where have all the DU trolls gone, and who is still left? nt

[R B Garr]

29. Yet more PROOF from our own intelligence agencies, now in the

from of criminal indictments about the third party FRAUD which influenced people away from Hillary Clinton.

Anyone who supported this in any way by contributing to this outcome and spreading lies about her needs to be held accountable.

[Hekate]

31. I hope this wipes that smug smile off her face

[herding cats]

36. I hope it comes out she colluded with the Russians.

Then her smug smile will be behind bars.

[BoneyardDem]

39. and a whole new web site created to forward that effort

and those same JPR members coming to DU to spread the same malcontent, fake message.

I'm positive I'm not the only one that saw this same process being geared up for the mid terms....hammering on any and all up and coming Dem bright stars.

[Squinch]

41. Yes. There was just in the last few weeks a swarm of the same old same old JPR

(and now we know Russian bot) messages under some new names, and some old ones.
