David Corn: Mueller's Latest Indictment Shows Trump Has Helped Putin Cover Up a Crime

6. Exciting as it SOUNDS, I'm having trouble understanding what exactly is the CRIME?

'Indicted for Interference in Presidential Campaign'?

Is that an actual Statute that's written down somewhere?

If not, what's the real/actual CHARGE? Spreading propaganda to help/hurt POTUS candidates is not AFAIK, technically 'illegal' is it? Or is it illegal simply by virtue of their being 'foreign actors'?

Would've REALLY liked to see some serious like, illegal hacking, laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, illegal donations/campaign finance violation charges ... hopefully that'll happen to some Americans (coughtrumpcough)

When I read 13 Russians INDICTED ... I thought some Russians were actually going to go to jail for some semblance of a serious crime. At worst these people won't be allowed into the USA and maybe have funds frozen. They won't, like, not be able to leave Russia without CIA/Interpol looking for 'em to arrest them or some shit.

If it's just 'foreign interference in elections' this is like ... small potatoes. Though at least it's probably a 'set up' for much more serious charges upon US actors.
