And also announced a presumably-related guilty plea by a US citizen who was selling stolen identities. This one doesn't seem to be so obviously a shot across the bow as some of those earlier unsealed indictments, though it could be that, too. (The "conspired... with persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury" bit must not be very comforting for those as-of-yet-unindicted conspirators who haven't decided to come clean and cut a deal yet.) But it sure undercuts the argument that all this super-obvious obstruction of justice the President's been doing is NBD because "there's nothing to obstruct".

In addition to disparaging Clinton, they denigrated other candidates, "such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio," and they supported Bernie Sanders and then Donald Trump. In the latter half of 2016, they used groups to discourage minorities from voting in the 2016 presidential election.

After the election of Donald Trump, the defendants allegedly planned rallies in support of President Trump. They also planned rallies against Trump titled, "Trump is NOT my President."

It is excellent news, and a smart move by Mueller to indict the Russians first.

The great thing about Mueller is, he doesn't leak. So this was not really out there as a possibility. (So everyone else is banjaxed, too.)

I had known it (and used it here) as "really freakin' surprised", as opposed to broken, so I will remove that meaning from my vocabulary.

Both laughing and crying. It makes sense to do both right now.
