12 Russians Indicted for hacking the 2016 US elections
In some ways, special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officers for their hacking and attack on the 2016 presidential election is Mueller’s least surprising move yet—but it might also be his single most significant.
News that paid employees of the Russian government—military intelligence officers, no less—interfered and sought to influence the 2016 presidential election, coming just days before the victor of that election will meet Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, amounts to nothing less than an international geopolitical bombshell.-Wired
BREAKING: Mueller indicts 12 Russians for hacking into DNC https://t.co/kmk70oqQYs

BREAKING: Trump was briefed by Rod Rosenstein earlier this week on that Mueller would be indicting 12 Russians that hacked the DNC and the 2016 election. Yet he still moved forward with his Putin summit. And still attacked our allies and supported Putin. This traitor must resign.

Deep State activities like this indictment against 12 Russians confirm the advise of my legal team. Special Counsel Mueller and the DOJ cannot be trusted. My team asked me not to provide my Seth Rich evidence without solid legal protections for me and my family. They were right!

This morning, Rudy Giuliani said that the all charges in the Russia investigation should be "dismissed" due to bias by Peter Strzok.
Today Rod Rosenstein indicts 12 Russians. That's now 35 total indictments.
I think Rudy Giuliani needs to be DISMISSED!

“There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity…There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the vote count or changed the outcome of the 2016 election.” https://t.co/B2jnrNi43J

These 12 Russians also conspired conspired to hack into the computers of state election officials, per the press release.

12 Russians will now be the reason Hillary lost & why Dems should keep catering to their corporate donors.
Meanwhile, the emails were real. The Dem Party used resources to suppress the Sanders campaign. They also elevated Trump & ultimately gave him the White House. #12Russians— MiamiGator ? (@GeoffMiami) July 13, 2018
Rod Rosenstein announces Mueller probe indictment of 12 Russians and says: “There is no allegation in this indictment that Americans knew that they were corresponding with Russians…. there is no allegation that any American committed a crime.”

And don’t even get me started on how these 12 Russians ruined America’s 2-Party democracy by installing Superdelegates, by creating Citizens United and SuperPacs and forcing gerrymandering on us. Bloody communists will pay for this now!

Today’s indictment of the 12 Russians makes clear that they communicated with US persons (plural), including at least one in direct contact with senior Trump campaign officials. This individual provided the Russians with substantive feedback on the hacked materials. pic.twitter.com/NdgQcD2cFs

And then, right after the most catastrophic election, these 12 Russians forced Democrats to do exactly NOTHING to change. They made them even reelect PELOSI and elect SCHUMER as their new leaders- after losing to DONALD TRUMP. Can you even begin to imagine how evil they must be?

Rosenstein scheduled indictments of 12 Russians while Trump was having his cherished photo-op with the Queen, and just before Trump meets with his handler Putin. It’s like: “I double-dog dare you to fire me, you unindicted coconspirator, you.” pic.twitter.com/Dx6OYDm5Hs

Today’s indictment of 12 Russians confirms the fact that Peter Strzok is a patriot, and Donald Trump is a traitor. Retweet if you agree. Then subscribe to the #DworkinReport below. https://t.co/vHxjMHfEFB

Kudos to the RNC for operating secure servers that apparently could not be hacked. Or maybe the Russians did hack them but could find no corruption worthy of public release. Who knows? https://t.co/L2J2OUUGlQ

A sobering reminder that the 12 Russians indicted today may never see a day of incarceration for attempting to interfere with the 2016 election. While Reality Winner, who revealed to reporters their 2016 attempt to subvert voter software, has remained in jail ever since. pic.twitter.com/g5SMj6Acli

OK, so here are the names of the newly-indicted 12 Russians in the Mueller probe announced by Rod Rosenstein. What do they all have in common, you may ask?
They're all high-ranking officers in the Russian military. In other words, men answerable to Vlad Putin. pic.twitter.com/Oq9HsZRSK7
