Mueller just indicted 13 Russians for, among other things, staging pro-Trump rallies and also supposed anti-Trump rallies (the "Trump is not my president" rallies.). This is HUGE news!
"Special counsel Mueller: Russians conducted 'information warfare' against US during election to help Donald Trump win
A federal grand jury has indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for alleged interference in the 2016 presidential elections, during which they boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump, special counsel Robert Mueller's office said Friday.
The indictment says that a Russian organization called the Internet Research Agency sought to wage 'information warfare' against the United States by using fictitious American personas and social media platforms and other Internet-based media.
While that effort was launched in 2014, by early to mid-2016 the defendants were 'supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump ... and disparaging Hillary Clinton,' the indictment charges.
As part of those efforts, the defendants also encouraged minority groups to either not vote for in the election or to vote for a third-party candidate. Both actions would have hurt Clinton, who received significant support from minority voters.
And after the election of Trump as president in November 2016, the defendants used fake personas to organize and coordinate political rallies in support of Trump, while also doing the same to create rallies 'protesting the results' of the election, the indictment said.
On one day, Nov. 12, 2016, the defendants organized a rally in New York to 'show your support for President-elect Donald Trump' while at the same time organizing a 'Trump is NOT my president rally' that also was held in New York."
