A link to the 37 page indictment
-snip-
The 37-page indictment lays out in extensive detail how, prosecutors say, the 13 defendants in 2014 began working with Russia’s Internet Research Agency to systematically interfere “with the U.S. political and electoral processes, including the presidential election of 2016.”
Deputy Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the Mueller probe, announced in a Friday press conference that there was “no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this activity.”
According to the indictment, the defendants posed as U.S. persons—and in some cases stole the identities of real U.S. citizens—to operate social media pages and hold political rallies intended to sow distrust of the U.S. political system and influence Americans’ votes. As part of the Internet Research Agency’s so-called “translator project,” the defendants used YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other online platforms to conduct what they referred to as “information warfare.”
“By early to mid-2016, Defendants’ operations included supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump (“Trump campaign”) and disparaging Hillary Clinton,” the indictment reads.
