Russia Investigation: Charges have been laid
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
second trial centered on allegations of lying to the FBI, money laundering and foreign lobbying.
But not conspiracy to commit election fraud?
Why not?
"Foreign Lobbying" fits the bill, especially when it was on behalf a Russian puppet Ukranian President.

The 11-count indictment names the Russians defendants, alleging they began cyber-attacks in March 2016 on the email accounts of staff for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Mr Rosenstein said the defendants corresponded with several Americans during the alleged conspiracy, but added there is no allegation that any US citizen committed a crime.
The deputy attorney general said the conspirators used fictitious online personas, including "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0", to release thousands of stolen emails beginning in June 2016.
They also plotted to hack into the computers of state boards of elections, secretaries of state, and voter software, according to the indictment.
Mr Rosenstein said: "We know that the goal of the conspirators was to have an impact on the election."
The deputy attorney general said all 12 defendants were in the Russian intelligence service, the GRU.

Facts are not his friend.
Republicans could have ran a box of Cap'n Crunch against Hillary and still would have won.

Oh btw that's the guy Trump wants to fire....for some reason.
so the collusion is obvious
You best get on the horn and call the FBI with that info or you'll get pegged for obstruction.
So does this sound like conspiracy to commit election fraud to you?
I know you were wondering where that charge was
Was Trump running in 2011 when Putin accused Hillary of election meddling?
When mass protests against Russian President Vladimir Putin erupted in Moscow in December 2011, Putin made clear who he thought was really behind them: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
With the protesters accusing Putin of having rigged recent elections, the Russian leader pointed an angry finger at Clinton, who had issued a statement sharply critical of the voting results. “She said they were dishonest and unfair,” Putin fumed in public remarks, saying that Clinton gave “a signal” to demonstrators working “with the support of the U.S. State Department” to undermine his power. “We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs,” Putin declared
