I heard a series of senior people in government - among them one of Virginia’s finest- say President Trump should cancel his visit to Russia because of the US indictment of 12 Russian officers of the GRU. Don’t believe it.
They knew before the 2016 election that the Russians had been trying to hack the very people they were indicted for hacking. The Intelligence Community of the US published a report then that said so - an unclassified summary of a highly classified report. It just takes a long time to put together a case against someone that can be prosecuted in court. Unless these Congressmen were asleep during that time, they were briefed on the classified elements of that in the closed-door hearings. So, they already knew. So did the President when he took office. So did the prior President.
The only big news out of this indictment was the Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks ties to the GRU, something most of us had already figured out without as much evidence as would be required to prosecute. Who are these folks kidding? They are clinging to the old news in hopes the Mueller investigation can bring more charges to save them before they lose the elections in November. Is there going to be an “October surprise”? Of course.
