In case you needed more evidence that Russia interfered with the 2016 Presidential election, here it is. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announces 12 new indictments against Russian Intelligence officers. This comes just a few days before Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
ROSENSTEIN: "According to the allegations in the indictment, the defendants work for 2 units of the main intelligence directorate of the Russian general staff known as the GRU. The units engaged in active cyber operations to interfere in the 2016 presidential election." pic.twitter.com/NEC13vCA1o

“Mueller and a team of prosecutors have been working since May 2017 to determine if any Trump associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the election. His work had already led to charges against 20 people on crimes ranging from money laundering to lying to the FBI. Fourteen of those charged earlier are Russians who are unlikely to ever be put on trial in the United States.”
