I read that the board members at Facebook would like to boot Mark Zuckerberg. I wonder if anything would improve if they remove him from a leadership role.

Remember for posterity that they referenced a pass through company (Organization 1) in the indictment and I think Rosenstein's statements were saying that there were no charges in the indictment that any Americans colluded. I'd have to see the transcript or rewatch the stream to get specific word-for-word verification, but my initial thought is that organization 1 will end up roping someone in Trump's orbit.
They didn't say it, but they alluded to WikiLeaks. And with Gucifer 2.0 being included I think Roger Stone should be s***ting bricks right now. I think he is one of the Americans they mentioned.
I missed the allusion but that was the first, most obvious choice. Although of course I still hold out hope, even though I highly doubt this to be the case, that the "organization" is a company that uses the name Organization in its name and was owned by one of the candidates.
Someone posted this in the r/Politics megathread. I assume it is from the indictment but don't know for sure right now:
On or about August 15, 2016, the Conspirators, posing as Guccifer 2.0, received a request for stolen documents from a candidate for the U.S. Congress. The Conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate's opponent

If the current state of the world leaves you feeling a little down, just look at the number of people at an anti-Trump rally in the UK.
Obviously they're morons, but America isn't on the left like it's presented in all classes here. Either way, they're morons. Terrible morons.

12 Russians indicted in Mueller investigation
Washington (CNN)The Justice Department announced indictments against 12 Russian nationals as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, accusing them of engaging in a "sustained effort" to hack Democrats' emails and computer networks.
All 12 defendants are members of the GRU, a Russian federation intelligence agency within the main intelligence directorate of the Russian military, who were acting in "their official capacities."
The revelations detail a sophisticated assault on the US election in 2016, including the release of emails designed to damage Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
The indictment was announced at almost exactly the moment that President Donald Trump rolled into the quadrangle of Windsor Castle to meet the awaiting Queen Elizabeth II in the symbolic highpoint of his visit to Britain.
Trump is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin -- who has denied election meddling -- in Helsinki on Monday for a summit that includes a one-on-one meeting with only interpreters present.
The Justice Department says the hacking targeted Clinton's campaign, Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, with the intention to "release that information on the internet under the names DCLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 and through another entity."
From the indictment..... Remember the trump tower meeting happened in June.....
"6. Beginning in or around June 2016, the Conspirators staged and released tens of thousands of the stolen emails and documents. They did so using fictitious online personas, including 2 "DCLeaks" and "Guccifer 2.0.""

On or about August 17, 2016, the Conspirators added, "please tell me if i can help u anyhow ... it would be a great pleasure to me." On or about September 9, 2016, the Conspirators, again posing as Guccifer 2.0, referred to a stolen DCCC document posted online and asked the person, "what do u think of the info on the turnout model for the democrats entire presidential campaign."

Directed right at trey gowdy and jim jordan.....
I want to caution you, the people who speculate about federal investigations usually do not know all of the relevant facts. We do not try cases on television or in congressional hearings. Most anonymous leaks are not from the government officials who are actually conducting these investigations.
We follow the rule of law, which means that we follow procedures, and we reserve judgment. We complete our investigations, and we evaluate all of the relevant evidence before we reach any conclusion. That is how the American people expect their Department of Justice to operate, and that is how our department is going to operate.

HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN TARGETED MORE AGGRESSIVELY THAN PREVIOUSLY REPORTED
This is a detail I’ve known for quite some time: Hillary’s campaign actually faced far more persistent hacking threats than previously known. Of absolutely critical importance, the indictment makes it clear that GRU hackers spear-phished Hillary’s personal office on July 27, after Donald Trump asked Russia to find her emails.
For example, on or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton’s personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign.
I know a key witness in that part of the hack has been waiting to share his story (he’s quite happy this is finally out), so expect far more details on this in coming days.
When you admit to raping women, have a life long hatred of black people and women, lie every single day of your life, step all over the little man by refusing to pay them and forcing them into bankruptcy, it’s quite easy to see why someone is so hated. And that’s just the tip of th iceberg.
