In a continuing attempt to justify his own existence, Special Counsel Robert Mueller, last week announced the indictment of 12 Russians, all members of the Russia’s Glavnoye Razvedyvatel’noye Upravleniye, also known as the GRU. The GRU is Russia’s foreign Military Intelligence organization. It combines aspects of our CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency. The GRU is responsible for spying on foreign nations, and conducting operations such as murdering people in foreign countries, training terrorists, and lately, enlisting Russia’s most talented computer hackers to conduct cyber warfare for Mother Russia, much as the Chinese employ thousands of computer experts in its “hacker army.” So Mueller indicted 12 Russians, and the Left experienced another “thrill down its leg,” hoping against hope that Mueller finally had exposed Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia. To coin a phrase, “keep hope alive” Democrats, this indictment doesn’t do that. Since all you’ve heard from the media is “12 Russians indicted,” you’re probably not aware that Mueller’s indictment is really an indictment of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. I, on the other hand, actually read the indictment, and since I’ve read, and for that matter drafted, hundreds of indictments in my career, let me boil it down for you. The indictment contains 11 counts or charges. Two of them allege conspiracies to commit crimes against the United States, 8 allege identity fraud, and the remaining count alleges money laundering. In a nutshell, what is alleged is that the Russians used, and/or stole, the identities of Americans to hack into computer networks of political organizations, in order to steal information, and used bitcoin transactions to fund their activities. The indictment proves things which we already knew, the Russians tried to interfere with our election, just like the always do, their goal was to destabilize our government (at which they have succeeded), and they tried to influence the outcome of the election (at which they failed). Mueller already told us that in his previous indictment of Russian internet companies. What the media isn’t giving you are the dirty details of the indictment, and they are not flattering to Democrats. Mueller’s indictment says almost nothing about the Trump campaign. Read it if you don’t believe me. What it does say in its 29 pages, is that the Russians stole documents from an unnamed Republican Party official in 2015, and that in mid-August 2016, the hackers wrote to an unnamed person “in regular contact with the Trump campaign” about documents the hackers had posted on the internet. Now, I don’t know what that is supposed to mean. If the unnamed person is Roger Stone, he was fired, or quit, the campaign on August 6, 2016, in which case, so what? And if the information already was public, once again, so what? The Russians tried to hack into the RNC. They failed, because the RNC had internet security. The Russians did hack into the computers of the Hillary campaign, including her chairman John Podesta’s, the computers at the DNC, and at the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. They stole email user names and passwords of campaign officials and of Democrat donors, and implanted malware programs by means of spearfishing campaigns (getting users to open email attachments), you know, like money from a Nigerian prince. This permitted the Russians to record every keystroke of the computers and to copy all data on them. Podesta opened one of the email attachments, allowing his emails to be stolen. The Russians probably disguised the attachment as a dividend statement for Podesta’s Russian energy stock. Hillary’s officials had close ties to Russia, as reported in F on F in May and July of 2017 – John Podesta served on the Board of Directors of, and held 75,000 shares of stock, of a Russian energy company connected to Vladimir Putin; brother Tony Podesta, a lobbyist, took $170,000 from Russian bankers to end U.S. sanctions against Russia. The Russian hacking into the Dems started as early as March 2016. In June 2016, the Dems realized they had been robbed. Instead of calling the FBI, they hired a company to clean the malware from their computer networks. The company pronounced the networks clean, but the Russians were still controlling the computers until at least October 2016. So what has Mueller proven? The RNC was prudent. The DNC and the Clinton campaign were incompetent, grossly negligent and reckless. Then, when they finally realized their stupidity, they hired an equally incompetent company to fix their problems. Given these alarming facts, doesn’t it make you wonder why Mueller is investigating Trump? The indictment is irrelevant, because these 12 Russians never will be brought before a U.S. court. You could actually view the indictment itself as an improper intrusion into U.S. foreign policy. Ordinarily, we don’t indict foreign intelligence officers, for good reason. We conduct intelligence operations abroad, and don’t want our CIA operatives prosecuted in another country. Indeed, the U.S. has interfered in foreign elections much more brazenly than these Russian hackers. Retired CIA agent Steven L. Hall confirms that the U.S. “absolutely” has carried out such election influence operations historically,” and says, “I hope we keep doing it.” We gave bags of money to favored politicians in Italy. We interfered in elections and overthrew governments in Central America, South America and the Middle East. President Bill Clinton was involved in overt and covert American efforts to help Boris Yeltsin win re-election as President of Russia in 1996, to prevent a communist victory. (Maybe the hacking of Hillary was payback). Il Duce Barack Obama blatantly interfered in the 2015 Israeli election of Benjamin Netanyahu, by having the State Department send $350,000 to the party of his opponent. That’s worse than Russian computer hacking, and that’s why, if intelligence officers are to be indicted, that decision should be made by the President, not by some rogue prosecutor, unaccountable to anyone. If Israel indicted Obama for his interference, should we extradite him for trial? No. Foreign cyber warfare should be combated in kind. How about hacking into the Russian transport system and turning off the trolley cars as a warning to “cut it out”? The CIA actually proposed a cyber response to Obama in 2016. Ever the proponent of “leading from behind” (or is it resembling a behind?) Obama chose to do nothing. He didn’t want to taint Hillary’s election victory, but she lost, so Russian interference is a convenient way to taint Trump. We’ll never get to hear the 12 indicted Russians plead, “Nyet Guilty,” but lying Democrats will use Obama’s neglect to pronounce “Trump guilty.”
