disobedientmedia | If one needed proof that Mueller’s investigation was an utter farce,
they were in for a treat this morning when the Deputy Attorney General
announced the indictment of thirteen “Russian trolls,” for allegedly
interfering in the 2016 Presidential election by posting on social media
accounts.
Laying Mueller’s disregard of the First Amendment aside, the
indictment is blatantly hypocritical in light of active social media
intervention by pro-Clinton David Brock and his multi-million dollar
efforts to ‘Correct The Record.’
The indictment
alleges that: “Beginning in or around June 2014, the ORGANIZATION
obscured its conduct by operating through a number of Russian entities,
including Internet Research LLC, MediaSintez LLC, GlavSet LLC, MixInfo
LLC, Azimut LLC, and NovInfo LLC.”
The indictment further alleges
that: “The ORGANIZATION 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.”
According to the indictment, the co-conspirators “engaged in
operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information
about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz
and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald
Trump.”
The indictment represents the latest mutation of Russian interference allegations that have dragged on for over a year. As this author previously noted,
the definition of Russian interference has shifted from unsubstantiated
claims of Russian hacking, to Russian collusion, and finally to Russian
social media trolling.
