at the special counsel s office. it s not collusion, it s not obstruction but russia election interference. let me begin where the appointment order begins. that is interference in the 2016 presidential election. as alleged by the grand jury in an indictment, russian intelligence officers that were part of the russian military launched a concerted attack on our political system. mueller wraps up his tenure with 34 total indictments issued, 28 related to russian interference. he dropped the troll farm indictment for russian individuals and businesses with conspiracy to defraud the u.s. for interference. before that, in july came the e-mail hacking indictment. that charged 12 russians with hacking democratic computers with the goal of influencing the outcome of 2016 s election.
there are reports already, brian, that russian bots are already on social media trying to get us thinking in a certain direction toward the 2020 election. what have we done to shore up resources and security around our next election? what are states doing about it? is anybody listening? and until we have a chief executive who says this can t happen again, we re still in a national security risk. joyce vance, i have to say that with this new vocabulary we all have, it was the speaking indictments that laid out the story of the extent of the russian attempt to ram up against our defenses electronically. turns out we opened the door for them and they came right in. that was kind of an extraordinary early part of the story we all got to read. it was. and i think people should go back and reread those indictments, both the troll farm indictment and the hacking

cookie jar. joyce vance it s pretty complicate and had it takes a little bit of time. it does take time. a little bit or a long time. joyce vance, the last word on gowdy and i what we saw here. gowdy s questioning of rosenstein is interesting because we know the mueller investigation has already produ produced indictments. the one of the campaign managers is sitting in prison awaiting trial. as representative gowdy well knows, it is entirely possible mueller has taken more to the grand jury. there are sealed indictments that haven t yet been made public and mueller has, in fact, already taken the evidence that gowdy is complaining doesn t exist, to a grand jury. one suspects that this russian troll farm indictment that s already public will have an american component, perhaps involving stone or other close advisors of the president in the coming weeks. it s going to be a long hot summer in washington starting this weekend. we re all in 90 degree heat.
