The Russian defendants are being charged with crimes for alleged activities intended to help Trump and hurt Clinton, including creating fake social media personas and organizing rallies in the U.S.:
The prosecutors allege the Russians were advised by "a real US person affiliated with a Texas-based grassroots organization" to "focus their activities on 'purple states like Colorado, Virginia and Florida.'"
The prosecutors allege that the Russian trolls posing as Americans made a concerted effort to convince members of minority groups not to vote or to vote for Jill Stein instead of Clinton:
The prosecutors allege the Russian trolls posing as Americans made an effort to help Bernie Sanders as well as Donald Trump:
The prosecutors allege the Russians posing as Americans organized anti-Clinton and pro-Trump rallies in Washington, New York and Florida:
Also rallies in Pennsylvania:
The prosecutors allege the Russians even wired money to an American to cover the cost of building "a cage large enough to hold an actress depicting Clinton in a prison uniform."
The prosecutors allege the Russians also organized New York and Charlotte rallies *against* Trump after the election, trying to sow discord.
