Russians Try to Discredit Mueller

Federal prosecutors said on Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller's office was subject to a Russian disinformation campaign that intended to discredit his investigation into the Kremlin's meddling in the 2016 election. The fake documents were sent to ThinkProgress reporter Casey Michel and independent disinformation researcher Josh Russell in November in direct messages from a Twitter account called @HackingRedstone.
The Internet Research Agency is a St. Petersburg-based firm run by a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin whose key executives have been indicted by Mueller on charges of defrauding the United States. The two main fabricators of these documents are thought to be Fedor Ajaxski and Anatoly Subgeniusov.

Yep, you guys got that smart gene.

Weird. You’re commenting on other folks ‘smartness’ while having no idea what topic you’re responding to. : )

There are very few open microphones when Trump repeatedly meets Putin without an U.S. translator present.
