Special counsel Mueller: Russians conducted 'information warfare' against US during election to help Donald Trump win

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office said Friday that a grand jury indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for alleged interference in the 2016 presidential elections, during which they boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump.

The indictment says that the defendants by early to mid-2016 were "supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump ... and disparaging Hillary Clinton."

The White House had no immediate comment on the indictments.

The indictment said "the organization," known as the Internet Research Agency LLC, "sought, in part, to conduct what it called 'information warfare against the United States of America' through fictitious U.S. personas on social media platforms and other Internet-based media."

The recent extradition of accused Russian hacker Peter Levashov from Spain & another suspected Russian hacker, Alexander Vinnik in a face to face with Mueller helped seal this deal.

Kudos to our global allies working on our behalf.

Now Mueller can connect this with Trump org, thru Trump Tower shenannigans, presents a case for collusion.

Ironic that Andrea Mitchell now speaks on MSM about this.
She, herself repeated the RU mantra in damning Clinton & promoting Trump.

MSM is complicit in moving that RU message.
I'll wait for their admmission & apology.....
