#2 Makes me think of that scene in 'The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming' when Brian Keith as the local sheriff staring down the Red sub at his local dock, pulls out his ticket book and starts writing.

#3 The only reason it is being filed is that the Mueller investigation is apparently running dry. This is a way to keep Russia-Trump in the headlines through the mid-terms.

#4 Do the defendants get to do discovery?

That would be rather droll.

#5 while boosting the candidate of Trump, "whose policies would benefit the Kremlin."

Kremlin-benefiting policies like loosening the rules on fracking and signing off on the oil pipeline, both of which keep oil prices considerably lower than the Russian economy needs; supporting cleaning up state voter rolls and installing other vote security measures that make it harder for Russia (as well as the Democratic party machines) to hack the vote; PNGing Russian diplomats and closing consulates, as well as encouraging other nations to do the same; increasing observance of security measures across the executive branch, making it harder for Russia to acquire information electronically... Yes, this is definitely the behaviour of a friend of Russia.

#7 Ah, the search for relevance.

Nothing much to cling to these days.
Race and Russia, has to be something there to hang a campaign on. Even if they have to hire someone to make up some crap. Oh wait, they already did that....

The democratic base is so gullible, uneducated and full of rage.

The shear stupidity of their logic, or lack of, is frightening to watch.

#8 Seeing a lot of similarities between Hillary and John McCain.

#9 Yes, this is definitely the behaviour of a friend of Russia.

You forgot "Occasionally bombing the crap out of the Rooskiis and their minions in Syria", tw.

#11 I think discovery will be more than a little one-sided. Presumably Republican donors and volunteers will be deemed part of the conspiracy, and made available for harassment.
