I still honestly don’t even understand what these people are being accused of.
How is shitposting a crime? What standard does this set?
Russia will “never” extradite any of the 13 Russians indicted by the United States for election-meddling, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, even as he insisted they didn’t act on behalf of his government.
Putin’s comments in an NBC News interview airing Sunday illustrated the long odds that the Russian operatives will ever appear in U.S. court to answer charges of running a massive, secret social media trolling and targeted messaging operation to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
The United States has no extradition treaty with Moscow and can’t compel it to hand over citizens, and a provision in Russia’s constitution prohibits extraditing its citizens to foreign countries.
“Never. Never. Russia does not extradite its citizens to anyone,” Putin said.
For years, the Justice Department has supported indicting foreigners in absentia as a way to shame them and make it harder for them to travel abroad.
Obviously this went without saying.
They knew they could indict anyone without ever having to show that there was anything valid about the indictment.
I will be surprised if they don’t start indicting more random Russian citizens just to pretend like they’re accomplishing something. Though we’ll have to see where their new theory that Trump is an Arab stooge goes – could be that one is the real deal and will result in Drumpf finally going down for good.
