Trump and Putin, behind the scenes

[Admin]

The special counsel Robert Mueller's office on Friday indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers related to the hacking of the Democratic National Committee before the 2016 US election. This is the first time Mueller's office has directly pointed a finger at the Russian government for meddling in the race. Mueller's office charged the intelligence officers with 11 counts related to conspiracy, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering.

But according to the President this is all a witch hunt..

In addition:

Additionally, the indictment says the conspirators — in this case, Guccifer 2.0 — also communicated with US persons about the release of stolen documents. In one instance, it says, the conspirator posing as Guccifer 2.0 contacted a person who was "in regular contact with senior members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump." The conspirator wrote to this person thanking them for "writing back" and asking whether they found anything "interesting in the docs i posted," the indictment says. The document does not name or charge any Americans with crimes. Previous reporting has found that Roger Stone, the longtime Republican strategist who informally advised the Trump campaign, was in touch with Guccifer 2.0 before the election. The indictment also alleges that the intelligence officers transferred stolen documents to an unidentified third-party organization and used it to release information and discuss the timing of those releases so they would have the maximum impact during the campaign.

And yet another coincidence..

Russian hackers apparently made their first attempt to breach 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's private emails around the same time that then-candidate Donald Trump publicly called on Russia to recover the missing emails from her private server A new indictment released Friday as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Moscow’s election meddling details the attempts by Russian officials to infiltrate Clinton's personal emails, her campaign's emails and other private information belonging to Democratic campaign officials.
