BuzzFeed and other MSM outlets were already reporting on Internet Research Agency in 2013.
BUZZFEED: Documents Show How Russia’s Troll Army Hit America (2013) >archive.fo/2ZomP >Russia's campaign to shape international opinion around its invasion of Ukraine has extended to recruiting and training a new cadre of online trolls that have been deployed to spread the Kremlin's message on the comments section of top American websites.
ATLANTIC: Russians Online Comment Army (2013) >theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/10/russias-online-comment-propaganda-army/280432/ >A Russian journalist who visited one such comment-mill, the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency, met with a coordinator who said the job was not unlike writing copy for a hair dryer: "The only difference is that this hair dryer is a political one."
Why the fuck did they wait until a special counsel investigation to do anything about them? More fucking useless fake news from team Mueller and Rod the kike Rosenstein Give me a break already
Camden Nelson
From BuzzFeed article: >According to the documents, which are attached to several hundred emails sent to the project's leader, Igor Osadchy, the effort was launched in April and is led by a firm called the Internet Research Agency. It's based in a Saint Petersburg suburb, and the documents say it employs hundreds of people across Russia who promote Putin in comments on Russian blogs.

IF we go after russians for their opinions during our elections does this also mean we should look into Shareblue and the JIDF? Are they not complicit of spreading shitty memes also?

They still won't do anything. It's political theater. None of these Russians will ever see a day in jail.
You should also look into the leaders of every single western nation shilling for Hillary during the election.
Can't wait to be indicted as a Canadian Kremlin Spy for all my facebook posts during the election.

Exactly. Furthermore, Mueller ought to arrest himself and his goons for operating as (((unwitting))) Kremlin agents for engaging in a campaign to overturn an American election, and then President Trump shall order VP Pence to fire up Ol’ Sparky and execute them all plus everyone I hate on Twitter.

It's a Russian company, their goal is to spread divisiveness within America and they are successful.
Your post proves that.

The indictments are the Democrat's exit strategy...every avenue of assault was thwarted by POTUS. If they come up with nothing the charade is revealed,hence they have to come up with something, anything to show the government did not just flush millions of dollars down the toilet.
Robert Brown
Here’s Obama just last year telling the French who to vote for.
We need no help being divided. Just trying to get a sense on whether astroturf companies are in it for an agenda or do they go to the highest bidder. Obviously not every astroturf company is a russian front.

Yes, most Astroturf companies are American, British and Israeli.
And yes, they all are in it for an agenda. That is kind of what the word astroturf means.
Why does it have to be like this? Why are they trying this fucking hard to make things seem so much worse than they really are? It's fucking Vietnam all over again. Reality doesn't matter, it's all about the perception they feed to us.

Exactly. People are being fooled into going along with this batshit bullshit indictment of Russian shitposters under the phony made up bullshit charge of "information warfare". Theyre being fooled because outwardly it looks like a positive press item for Trump (and he is treating it that way).
But in reality it is allllll made up bullshit as OP is telling you. The first name of the 12 is the boss of a known astroturf company, the IRA. The other 12 names could just as well be completely made up russian sounding names. No one in custody and you will never see anyone in custody. They are using this as a foundation for beginning the process to criminalize online free speech so DO NOT let them get away with this utter phony fake indictments,
The 13 Russians indictment is the prosecutorial equivalent of the Steele dossier

Not true. According to memeologists, the fact that I have this meme that says Trump will die in jail means he will. You have no Comey memes, so you are just posting shit. Comey lives! Also, his tell-all book "A Higher Loyalty" is complete and will be released this April! I can't wait to read it!

Sound familiar to Mueller
“They enlisted their bylines in a political campaign on behalf of the Democratic candidate for president and rehearsed the talking points Steele later documented. But weren’t the authors of these articles, big-name journalists, embarrassed to be seen reading from a single script and publishing the same article with similar titles within the space of two weeks? Weren’t they worried it would look like they were taking opposition research, from the same source? No, not really. In a sense, these stories weren’t actually meant to be read. They existed for the purpose of validating the ensuing social media messaging. The stories were written around the headlines, which were written for Twitter: “Putin’s Puppet”; “It’s Official: Hillary Clinton is Running Against Vladimir Putin”; “Trump and Putin: A Love Story”; “The Kremlin’s Candidate.” The stories were vessels built only to launch thousands of 140-character salvos to then sink into the memory hole.

If BuzzFeed found out about this in 2013, we can assume the US knew about ti since day one. If there were Russians trying to compromise the US with some kind of cyberwarfare, then they were doing it for at least half of Obama's time in office.
Why didn't Obama's administration do anything about it 5+ years ago? Could it be, perhaps, that Russia helped Obama get elected by interfering in the election, maybe as far back as 2008? Who knows? I think it's high time the investigation expands to Russian meddling in the 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 elections, at least.

They had the tiniest of outreach on social media.
The divisiveness was caused by Democrats that wanted a scapegoat and idiots that are Russophobic. Some Russians repeating anti-Hillary memes online and setting up dates on facebook that people could protest did not change anyone's minds on the election or divide anyone.

John Brooks
Everything about this indictment smells like shit, and the 'special counsel' isn't done with his excrement-level investigation, either. This indictment is a fucking PR stunt to try and build cred before they indict Trump for obstruction of justice. Unfortunately instead of decrying Mueller for blowing $8,000,000 (at least) on copypasta on Buzzfeed reporting on Russian Troll Farms from 2013 while the FBI got 17 kids killed, he told them 'Good Job.'
Jaxon Adams

Bentley Morris
It's pretty pathetic how Facebook is doing a better job about getting the truth out than the FBI.
Sebastian Jackson
Another article OP missed: All of the people listed in the indictment were mentioned in this 2015 article.
I think they want to imply Trump was in on the fix of the election like Bernie was getting his second home, what they didn't realize was that people might actually respond to what he said rather than recoil, they simply thought they had a shitposter candidate that would prove too toxic, Clinton helped him win the primary and just thought that if he just presented his ideas she would win in a landslide, the biggest miscalculation in the past 50 years, the assumption her yes people had was she would blow him away in the election....instead conservatives of all different stripes united behind him as they got wind that she was doing this and resented it and wanted to screw her over just to do it. They have always been scared shitless of flyover Americans doing just this Americans woke up from a mass hypnosis....they want to blame other countries for this, this will not work, it will ultimately fail, they could ignite a harsh civil war by one major fuck up....no russians needed, just people sick of the bankers and the JQ. youtu.be/gDV-dOvqKzQ

Josiah Ortiz
There are still some who think a few million dollars affected the election and the only people paid to protest were Trump supporters, even with news there were paid anti-Trump protests.
Ayden Cox
This is pretty funny on all fronts. But is it really illegal? where is the criminal activity?
Ayden Brown
It shouldn't be illegal or anything, I don't know what law it breaks. Then again, we have some on the Left who think some random guy in California who plead guilty to selling fake identities to Russians has some connection to Trump.
