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.

    The Americans (and Soviets) raced like bloody hell to Germany when they heard that there had been experiments on Jewish prisoners: NOT to take that data and destroy it as it was morally wrong in the way it was obtained but to take it and absorb it all.

    That's absurd. Are you really going to tell me, for example, that a few medical experiments were more valuable to the Soviets than the Eastern Bloc was? They both raced like hell so they would control more territory at the end of the war.

    Yes, shit, they raced for territory, but they also raced for scientists, data, filing cabinets. They took who they could get as fast as they could as fast as they took territory.

    But I'm talking about the Americans here: the Soviets were just a side line in the conversation. Focus!!

    The Americans weren't going to get anything out of 'territory', but they SURE AS SHIT got something out of the data and scientists they whisked away from Europe and back to U.S.

      Yes, they would. That would mean less territory for the Soviets after the war.

      but they SURE AS SHIT got something out of the data and scientists they whisked away from Europe and back to U.S.

      Which is vastly more than just medical experiments on Jews. For example, there was the ballistic missile program and the German nuclear weapon research.

        I see that you did add those two programs as well.
