13 Russian nationals indicted for interfering in US elections By Alex Pappas, Judson Berger

Published February 16, 2018 FoxNews.com A federal grand jury on Friday indicted 13 Russians and three Russian companies for allegedly interfering in the 2016 presidential election, in a case brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller that detailed a sophisticated plot to wage “information warfare” against the U.S.

The Russian nationals are accused of setting a “strategic goal to sow discord in the U.S. political system, including the 2016 presidential election.”

The indictment – the first filed against Russian nationals as part of Mueller’s probe – effectively returns focus to the meddling activities out of Russia in the run-up to the 2016 election, following a string of charges relating to the actions of Trump associates.

Further, the DOJ made clear that the indictment does not allege that any of the interference changed the outcome of the presidential race.

“There is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election,” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the special counsel probe, said at a Friday press conference.

The 37-page indictment was signed by Mueller.

The defendants are accused of spreading derogatory information about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, denigrating Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio -- and ultimately supporting Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and then-Republican candidate Donald Trump.

It says the defendants spread derogatory information about various candidates throughout the 2016 campaign and by “early to mid-2016” were supporting Trump’s presidential campaign.

"There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election.”

- Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Rosenstein, though, said that after the election, the group worked both to stage rallies in favor of President-elect Trump and in opposition to his election.

Rosenstein on Friday described a sophisticated operation by Russian organization Internet Research Agency. He said the scheme involved setting up hundreds of social media accounts using stolen or fictitious identities to make it appear like the accounts were controlled by individuals in the U.S. He said the defendants posed as politically active Americans and recruited “real Americans” to stage rallies and engage in political activities.

But Rosenstein said those Americans did not know they were communicating with Russians.

The indictment says the actions date back to 2014.

According to the special counsel, the indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy to defraud the United States, three defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud and five defendants with aggravated identity theft.

Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein says the defendants posed as politically and socially active Americans to engage in informational warfare during presidential election and the early days of the Trump administration; no allegation in indictment that any American had knowledge of Russian activities.

The three entities charged are Internet Research Agency LLC, Concord Management and Consulting LLC and Concord Catering.

The 13 Russians charged are: Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin; Mikhail Ivanovich Bystrov; Mikhail Leonidovich Burchik; Aleksandra Yuryevna Krylova; Anna Vladislavovna Bogacheva; Sergey Pavlovich Polozov; Maria Anatolyrvna Bovda; Robert Sergetevich Bovda; Dzheykhun Nasimi Ogly; Vadim Vladimirovich Podkopaev; Gleb Igorevich Vasilchenko; Irina Viktorovna Kaverzina and Vladimir Venkov.

The indictment says the Internet Research Agency registered with the Russian government as a corporate entity in 2013. It employed hundreds of individuals for its online operations and had an annual budget equaling the equivalent of millions of U.S. dollars, the filing said.

Prosecutors accuse the Russians of communicating with a real U.S. person affiliated with a Texas-based grassroots organization. They learned from that person to focus their activities on “purple states like Colorado, Virginia and Florida," the indictment says.

It also says the group’s employees – referred to as “specialists” – created social media accounts to look like they were operated by Americans. They created group pages on Facebook and Instagram with names like “Secured Borders,” “Blacktivist” (to promote the Black Lives Matter movement), “United Muslims of America,” “Army of Jesus,” “South United” and “Heart of Texas.”

James Trusty says there's no indication that the U.S. government will pursue extradition for Russian nationals indicted for attempting to interfere in the presidential election.Video Former DOJ official: 13 Russian nationals won't face justice They also created and controlled numerous Twitter accounts, like one named “Tennessee GOP” under the @TEN_GOP handle that attracted more than 100,000 followers.

According to the indictment, the specialists were instructed to post content online that criticized “Hillary and the rest (except Sanders and Trump – we support them)."

It said they used pro-Trump, anti-Clinton hashtags online like “#Trump2016,” “#TrumpTrain,” “#MAGA,” “#IWontProtectHillary,” and “Hillary4Prison.”

It says the defendants, around the latter half of 2016, encouraged minority groups in the United States not to vote in the election or vote for a third party candidate. An Instagram account they controlled called “Woke Blacks” posted a message on Oct. 16, 2016 that read: “We cannot resort to the lesser of two devils. Then we’d surely be better off without voting AT ALL.”

That part is believable. I can see where some old school USSR Commie KGB types would like their NYC counterparts, Donald & Bernie.

There have been some articles written detailing just what ads were being run. Once you get past the fake bank accounts and a few other minor infractions, it comes down to whether you think an American election's outcome was changed by these Russian ads on Facebook.

To me, they all looked like total partisan clickbait. I can't imagine Dem voters deciding to stay home or switching their vote based on the ones I've seen, among the most volatile. For the ads for which someone did click on, there were typically less than 3,000 (paid) views of these ads being run by Russians or their cutout accounts and less than a hundred people clicked on them.

You can see some examples on this site. I'm still looking for a comprehensive list of these ads and their content, how many times each ad ran, how many people clicked on them, etc.

DailyDot: Here are the Facebook ads Russia used in its 2016 election influence scheme

Here's one of the better known ones:

Do Dems want us to believe that Hillary lost Dem votes over such a trollish bit of clickbait? I just don't believe it. And they have no real proof to offer.

Here's another ad, this time via CNN:

Another one, from Slate.com:

The Dems are telling us their voters are the most gullible Fakebook users in America. Well, I admit Dem voters are pretty stupid. But I don't think they're that stupid.

I have to admit that you don't see photos of Jesus arm-wrestling with Satan all that often.

But apparently Facebook has a picture of it so it must be Totes Real!

I was pretty sure that my failure to vote for Hitlery was independent and based on the fact that I think she is a vicious lying evil weasel just like her husband but maybe I succumbed to these Russkie ads on Facebook without knowing it or ever even seeing the ads.

The Oklahoman: Facebook to verify ads with postcards after Russian meddling

MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) — Facebook will soon rely on centuries-old technology to try to prevent foreign meddling in U.S. elections: the post office.

Baffled in 2016 by Russian agents who bought ads to sway the U.S. presidential campaign, Facebook's global politics and government outreach director, Katie Harbath, told a meeting of the National Association of Secretaries of State in Washington on Saturday that the company would send postcards to potential buyers of political ads to confirm they reside in the U.S.

The recipient would then have to enter a code in Facebook to continue buying the ad. The method will first apply to ads that name candidates ahead of the midterm elections in November, said Facebook spokesman Andy Stone.

The folk that hate Trump the most... are minority, female and socialist. Hondope hates Trump more than a half black, half spic, socialist with a twat. I'd say it's a fair guess that Hondope is what you suggest.

I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
