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.

    Seth Rich, a DNC employee, leaked the info to wikileaks.

    Seth Rich was a decently patriotic American, though obviously clueless about some of the fundamental American values. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. The fact that Seth Rich's political choices would turn the USA into something like Venezuela does not change the fact that he meant well. Seth Rich adored Bernie. After the DNC supported Hillary in screwing over Bernie, Seth Rich leaked the dirt.

    That's rich! [wikipedia.org] (pun intended).

    Is that you, Alex Jones?
