Ruskies stole citizen IDs to spread discord – indictment
Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor investigating foreign agents tampering with the 2016 US presidential election, has criminally charged 13 Russian nationals with conspiring against the United States.
A 37-page grand jury indictment, revealed today, named staff at the Internet Research Agency troll factory as conspirators in a plan to “sow discord,” and tip the White House race in favor of Donald Trump.
The Russians were also accused of stealing Americans’ identities, or fabricating new ones, to open PayPal accounts to purchase controversial ads, to create online profiles with hundreds of thousands of followers, and to coordinate political protests and campaign events, all while posing as legit Americans.
The trolls would use email addresses such as staceyredneck@gmail.com in organizing their efforts to tear the people of the United States apart, it is claimed.
Email addresses the Russians allegedly used with their PayPal accounts include: “staceyredneck@gmail.com” and “wokeaztec@outlook.com” https://t.co/ZqO9iOCRwW pic.twitter.com/7A6pbdM42I
