Special Prosecutor Mueller released an indictment of 16 Russian individuals and organizations today for criminally interfering with the US elections in 2016. The indictment should also be the end of accusations that there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The indictment states that the Russians came to the USA, pretended to be Americans and then put out stories favorable to one candidate or the other and otherwise campaigned in the election. Such activities by non-US citizens and entities is illegal. But here's the key. In paragraph 6 of the indictment, the following is stated:
"Some Defendants, posing as U.S. persons and without revealing their Russian association, communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities."
This is really important. The Trump Campaign is said NOT to knowingly have associated with the Russians. In fact, the Russians are said to have hidden their true identities and affiliations from the Trump Campaign personnel. That's the opposite of collusion.
The indictment also says nothing to indicate that the Russians' activities affected the outcome of the election at all.
After more than a year of investigation, the Trump-Russia collusion effort should be declared dead. The Special Prosecutor had all necessary resources, and he and his team found NOTHING WRONG from the Trump campaign.
I've seen five reports on this indictment so far in the mainstream media. Not one has yet emphasized the key point of the indictment discussed above. We will have to see if the media actually tries to hide this from the public. I don't think that they will be able to do that.
