Another bombshell dropped on Watch online Swingers (2002) full movieFriday afternoon when the special counsel investigating led by Robert Mueller announced indictments against Russian troll group Internet Research Agency and a dozen other individuals for "operations to interfere with the U.S. political system, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election."
SEE ALSO: An ad industry group nominated Russia's election hack for all the awardsThe indictment offers more concrete proof of Russian interference in that election, something that President Trump and members of his administration have been greatly skeptical about despite the mounting evidence.
Trump tweeted Friday after the indictments were announced, once again claiming there was no collusion with the Russians.

While the the indictment's main charges include conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and identity theft, what's particularly shocking are the lengths the conspirators went to, allegedly, to achieve their ends which, according to the indictment, included "supporting the campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump" and "disparaging Hillary Clinton."
We already know they managed to use social media under false names to reach voters in the U.S., spread false information, organized rallies, and bought ads on these platforms. But that wasn't all.
Here, then, are some of the craziest revelations that caught our attention.
These weren't 400-pound hackers in their basement as Trump infamously suggested during one of the presidential debates with Clinton. This was a hella-organized group of hundreds of people that had their own SEO and IT departments.
This is next level stuff to make everything seem American-made.
They really felt the Trump chant, "Lock her up."
They really, really had it out for Hillary and they knew how to stoke that anger.
The organization used a social media account to convince a real, flesh-and-blood American to stand in front of the White House holding a sign that wished a happy birthday to Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a Russian National who led Concord, a Russian consulting firm with government contacts that funded the interference.
And then...
It's amazing what you can do with fake email addresses.
These trolls weren't done after the election, as evidenced by how they set up opposing rallies in New York over a week after the votes were counted.
These guys weren't just lobbing metaphorical grenades on Twitter; they did their research and knew what states to help target to swing the election.
They didn't totally hate Democrats, just Hillary Clinton.
