The above is a quote from The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, said by Lord Elrond. At this stage, with POTUS practically pissing off every ally the US has while cosying up with several dictators, it seems quite apt.

Embago lifted. Picking this up from some to camera pieces. 12 Russians being indicted, sounds like they are officials or GRU. Hacking mentioned.
Top timing Eisenstein and Mueller!

@sarahkendzior
We have known this information since the 2016 election. When are the Americans who aided them going to be indicted?

Roger Stone is the most obvious case, but the most notable are those who currently inhabit the White House. twitter.com/woodruffbets/status/1017802612895289347

Did you see the way that great orange oaf started to out pace The Queen when they were reviewing the Guard? And that HM was not about to speed up (i.e. let him dictate the pace). And then the way his impatience showed when he had to slow down, swinging his shoulders and arms. What a fuckhead! At least he didn't try to do one of his pull-someone-in-and-off-balance handshakes!

And I LOVED the fact that you could hear the protesters loud and clear. Well, loud anyway, I couldn't make out what they were saying. But I'm sure Scrotus could.

I know that the DoE is 'retired' anyway, but I bet he's glad to have an 'official' reason for not taking part. I'm sure HM wishes she could have!

In other news; 12 Russian intel officers indicted for 2016 DNC hack as part of the Mueller Probe. No US citizens are on the indictment. Case will be turned over to DOJ for apprehension and prosecution. I'm watching the special report now.

OMG. If you're not watching this, do. Detailed breakdown of how Russian government sought to influence the US presidential election. And then remember Trump is meeting Putin in 2 days' time...

T. knew about this when he made those wibbly comments about challenging Putin.

Good performance by Rosenstein.

yolofish · 13/07/2018 17:34

I am sure that in the background the entire US Embassy staff are screaming: "Sir you just dont understand the British way"!! along with epithets galore....

ohmymimi · 13/07/2018 17:36

So glad, and relieved, the protesters could be heard at Windsor, Across.

MissMarplesKnitting · 13/07/2018 17:38

If these guys indicted and on Interpol warrants are GRU officials, aren't their actions an act of war?

ohmymimi · 13/07/2018 17:59

God, what an embarrassment he is, the classless git, Across. Kept QE2 waiting for 15 mins, then slouched about like some gormless teen. He has no idea how to carry himself in these formal set pieces. Sick of Melania's permanent morose demeaner, too, it's pretty graceless. She could put a bit of effort in. She's had a refit and a new wardrobe to show off, for Pete's sake.

Only if the thing can be proved to be state sponsored. Realpolitik, though. Wink

@BenjySarlin
. @KenDilanianNBC notes indictment alleges Russia "on or about July 27, 2016" started trying to access Clinton's personal emails. Which is the same day Trump gave his "Russia if you're listening, I hope your able to find the 30,000 emails..." news conference.

DMs between Wikileaks and Guccifer 2. Shows the mechanism by which hacked emails went from one to the other, that Wikileaks was actively soliciting emails, not merely passively in receipt of them, and that it had an overtly political agenda in doing so.
