As the politically charged case against a Russian troll farm reaches court, the chickens have come home to roost for its prosecutor Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who, moreover, may have counted them before they hatched as one of the indicted companies may have not even existed during the time of the alleged crimes.
On Feb. 16, Mueller indicted 13 people and three companies that allegedly ran the Russian campaign mainly through social media intending to “spread distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general,” before and during the U.S. presidential election.
