So according to Mueller , Clinton did not lose because she ran a bad campaign it was because of some one's fault . Where have I heard this BS before ?

Mueller said that?
Rosenstein notes that the indictment does not allege that the Russians had any effect on the outcome of the election or that any American had any knowledge of what the Russians were doing. In other words, Robert Mueller has just destroyed the "Russia collusion" conspiracy theory.

Besides, it’s a Brady/Bellichick situation. Clinton was such a bad candidate, he should’ve known he didn’t have to cheat to win. Just stupid.

Then again, if he didn’t expect to win, who the hell cares? More bombs to throw, more celebrity spotlight to bask in.

Tell Baba.

You realize that includes the Clintons and Obamas, right?

It's impossible to tell how much influence they had on the electorate. It's like asking which specific rain cloud caused the flood.

I’d wait on that conclusion until Mueller interviews the president. This isn’t over.

Actually your conclusion is illogical. The indictment merely deals with the Russian actors. Rosenstein simply points out that this indictment does not deal with any Americans. It does not say that future indictments won’t. Much like the Nunes memo, this doesn’t exonerate anybody. In fact, it probably fires a shot across some West Wing bows. If Kushner or Bannon or Flynn or any other campaign official is linked in significant ways to these names, things get dicey quickly.

Direct quote.

Too bad if it doesn't fit your agenda.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein officially announced the indictment from the DOJ headquarters Friday.

The 13 defendants, he explained, worked with false identification and posed as politically active Americans advocating for and against specific candidates. They purchased political advertisements on social media, staged political rallies, organized protests both for and against president-elect Donald Trump, and pretended to be grassroots activists, while recruiting Americans.

“These Americans did not know they were communicating with Russians,” Rosenstein said.

No allegation suggests that the nationals altered the outcome of the election.
