Falsely accused of 13 ppl putting shitty memes on Facebook/supporting causes for both sides? No However I'd say a large portion of the 100's/1000's of accusations thrown at Russia over the last two years lack evidence to back the claims I can see why that would affect relations

You're saying those 13 Russians registered as foreign agents? They didn't use stolen IDs?

Oh come now, I know you can read I don't see me saying that anywhere in my previous tweet But "they used stolen IDs to shitpost!!" is a gigantic fucking retreat from: "Hillary lost the election, (not bc she was a widely unlikeable candidate) but, because Russians hacked x/y/z"

You're making stuff up about the indictment, out of thin air. Please either address the crimes in the indictment, or admit that they weren't falsely accused.

Stop attempting to move the goalposts lmao Did I say "the indictment falsely accused them of crimes" Or Did I say "falsely accused of a crime"? It is okay to admit that throwing shit at the wall & seeing what sticks didn't help our relations with Russia lol

Once again, come now, I know you can read I haven't attempted to move the goalposts whatsoever The Russians were falsely accused of a bunch of stuff bc democrats couldn't live with the fact that Hillary sucked (still can't apparently), & it hurt relations Simple as that lmfao

I laid out what the charges were and you don't deny they did those things. SO you've already ceded they're not falsely accused. You have, however, claimed the indictment does things it does not. Have you read it?
