    A developing story,

    Special counsel indicts 13 Russian nationals in Russia investigation

    The special counsel's office said Friday that a federal grand jury indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities in the probe into interference in the 2016 elections.

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

    An announcement from special counsel Robert Mueller's office said that the government accuses all the defendants of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Three defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud. Five defendants are charged with aggravated identity theft.​

    The interesting part is the wire fraud and the bank fraud.

    Is it safe to assume they are in Russia and will never face the US judicial system?

    The folks on MSNBC are saying this should lead to impeachment even if the Trump campaign had no knowledge of the crimes.

    Is this accurate? If so, bye bye TRUMP!

    Wow, most of the Fox audience will immediately love these defendants and hate Mueller all the more. Sad!

    I was told by Commodore that since Mueller hadn't indicted anyone a while back, that was proof that there was nothing there and that the investigation should be wrapped up.

    This. Trump and Putin said Russian interference in our election is fake, a witch hunt, and a made-up story from butt hurt liberal.

    WHY would someone be implicated in crimes they had no knowledge of or involvement in? This strikes me as the epitome of Fake News...and is something MSNBC would scream bloody murder over if it were directed the other way, pointing out their extreme bias in reporting...which is what leads to all the Fake News portrayal in the first place (ie, Fake News wouldn't exist if there wasn't indeed so much actual fake news).

    I still doubt that they were supporting Trump's campaign. They would much rather have Hillary as president. I believe their plan was just to create distrust between politicians and the people.

    Doubt so.

    Much more worthy of impeachment is Trump constant pushback that the Russian had interfere and continue to do so. He's more than doing nothing to protect our election, he's giving them (and others) a green light to keep going.

    btw, you might want to post a link to the story, or a video clip.
