Two indicted Russians spent time in Michigan

WXYZ, Detroit-Two Russians charged by the FBI in an indictment traveled to Michigan in their efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election. According to the indictment, Aleksandra Krylova and Anna Bogacheva visited Michigan and 8 other states in a 12-day span in June of 2014 to "gather intelligence" and report back to the internet research agency - an alleged online troll group linked to the Kremlin in Russia.

Anonymous said...: Yes, and how much traction would Those Nefarious (Mythological?) Russians have if the Democrats weren't lying, warmongering, neoliberal scumbags?

That's what's going on here. Those who run the system we live under are desperately trying to find some, any, excuse for the implosion of our institutions and standard of living. Better to blame the Russians and try to quell *any* dissent, no matter how well-founded, than own what corporations and the wealthy have perpetrated since the early 70's.
