One of the interesting things about the latest Mueller indictment: it looks like there were two Russian troll operations targeting the US in 2016, not just the Internet Research Agency one.

The GRU used the persona of "Alice Donovan" to create the DCLeaks Facebook page.
There's a lot of research been done on that persona, but having it linked so directly to DCLeaks is interesting.

The operation used the same computer to run the backup DCLeaks Twitter account and one called @BaltimoreIsWhr.
That account pushed #BlacksAgainstHillary.
It's a hashtag which, as far as we know from the @NBCNews archive and other saves, was not pushed by the troll farm.

1/ Let’s take a close look at these indictments handed down today, shall we? (justice.gov/file/1080281/d…)
2/ Count One is Conspiracy to Commit an Offense Against the US. It is alleged that Russia, through its military intel agency (GRU) engaged in large-scale cyber intrusion operations and staged release of documents to interfere in the 2016 election.
3/ In paragraph 8, indictment alleges those charged “conspired with each other, *AND WITH PERSONS KNOWN AND UNKNOWN TO THE GRAND JURY*” —this implies there are *UNCHARGED CO-CONSPIRATORS*. Acts began in March, 2016. Releases began in June, 2016, continuing through November 2016.
These will be the first charges by Mueller's office that directly accuse the Russian government of meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
A grand jury has charged 12 Russian GRU officers with a sustained campaign to hack into the computers of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign; and releasing hacked emails.
