If the idea was to give Vladimir Putin and his thug regime a new way to sabotage the United States, nice work.

So, is Russia now presumed innocent of hacking the 2016 election?

If not, it is difficult to understand any proper purpose served by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of twelve military officers in the Kremlin’s intelligence services for doing what everybody in America already knew that they did, and has known since before Donald Trump took office — indeed, since before the 2016 election.

Make no mistake: This is nakedly politicized law enforcement. There is absolutely no chance any of the Russian officials charged will ever see the inside of an American courtroom. The indictment is a strictly political document by which the special counsel seeks to justify the existence of his superfluous investigation.

Oh, and by the way, the answer to the question posed above is, “Yes, it is now the official position of the United States that Russia gets our Constitution’s benefit of the doubt.” Here is Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announcing the Friday the 13th indictment: “In our justice system, everyone who is charged with a crime is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.”

He makes some good points.

Mueller's "investigation"....like those indictments....has proven absolutely worthless and useless.

Indeed.

As we’ve observed countless times, there was no basis for a criminal investigation of President Trump or the Trump campaign. The fact that Russia interfered in an American election — as it routinely does — never meant that the perceived beneficiary of the interference was criminally complicit in it. There is no known evidence that Trump-campaign officials had any involvement in hacking by the Russian intelligence services. Mueller’s new indictment powerfully suggests that this could not have happened — the Russians were expert in their cyberespionage tactics, they did not need anyone’s help, and they took pains to conceal their identity from everyone with whom they dealt.

How far back do we need to go in history to remind people that the Russians to everything they can to influence our elections and infiltrate our government?

Alger Hiss?  The Rosenbergs?  Robert Hanssen?

Anyone who's been alive for more than a minute should remember that Ted Kennedy nakedly (literally NOT figuratively...ugh!) begged the Soviets for help in stopping Reagan from being re-elected in 1984.

McCarthy was more right than he knew when he was trying to warn the U.S. about the Communists in our own government.

Damned right he was and those that did infiltrate our government created cultures in every agency that plague us to this very moment!   

The Department of State being a prime example!
