A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.

The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.

[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

  Well, in Runaway's defense, he may actually be bravely upholding the constitution even if at his service time, American foreign policy was even more morally ambiguous than it is today.
  Regardless he is not harming the constitution by actively exercising his first amendment, unless you live in a strange world, where he is still in active duty or speaking of state secrets. Maybe Runaway is a senior officer and we did not know :D
