Mueller Charges 13 Rooskies With Interfering In The 2016 Election

If anybody knows WTH this means, then, by all means, fill me the hell in.

Read the indictment. It is not hard going, and there is a lot of specific stuff. There is also reference to an unnamed American contact; if that contact was Jared Kushner, then he's guilty of at least violating campaign laws by excessive contact with a PAC--and of being incredibly dumb not to realize he was talking to Russian nationals. It's like the Tea Party is the new CPUSA, with dupes working for the Russkis

This seems like a strong non-mainstream take on the indictments.

Also ofinterest, from FB's VP of advertising.

Apparently one of the reasons you see stuff like that 'all the time' is because the Russians are paying for it. I note that Althouse repeats some of the weaker quotes from the indictment, rather than focusing on the strongest ones like she would if she were actually presenting an argument. The Russians were treating some Tea Party groups the way they used to treat the CPUSA. Perhaps you didn't think that was a problem either?

The majority of the ad spend was post election, and the indictment doesn't even break down how much went towards US ads (although reporting on FB ads seems to show it wasn't that much). Why are you putting the trolls on the side of the Tea Party, which largely doesn't exist anymore? And why should I be bothered if when I see the ads, they are obviously amateurish farces?
