First off, the Defendants are two Iranian Nationals. Which is somewhat disappointing, since we all want to get to the goldurn Enemies Domestic we all know are out there, but there's at least a hint her about them.

There's a few more hints about Enemies Domestic here, too. First, the Iranians fed their disinfo to the Usual Suspects:

To increase the credibility of their messaging, the Iranians used ... wait for it ... The Proud Boys.

It'd be nice if they were a touch firmer about the Proud Boys, but I'll take it.

So let's get this straight: they weaponized disinfo that could be used by Trumpists to challenge the election and simultaneously intimidated Dems to try to scare them into voting for Trump.

Maybe that's just me but that seems like standard operating procedure for Trumpists in 2020.

The Iranians had obtained access to an American media company, but the FBI found them out, and probably watched them as they tried to use their access to sow more chaos.

OK, out of time, have to move on to @Ravens football, but I LOVE the fact that a grand jury has been investigating 2020 election malfeasance and is now DROPPING BOMBS. Dirk out.
