In particular, what actions would constitute illegally influencing an election?
For example:
- Russian individual "A" creates a Twitter account and expresses negative opinions about US candidate "B". "A" ends up with 350,000 followers, many of whom are Americans.
- Russian individual "A", a known operative of the FSB, creates a Twitter account and expresses negative opinions about US candidate "B". "A" ends up with 350,000 followers, many of whom are Americans. "A" never discloses his/her association with the FSB
- Russian individual "A" is involved in the international Widget industry. As an expert in that field they are associated with members of the Russian government. "A" meets with US counterparts in the Widget industry during a trade summit. Some of the US counterparts are affiliated, as advisors, with candidates for elected office that are currently campaigning. "A" has expressed a preference for a given candidate for elected office.
- Russian individual "A", with investment interests in the US, engages with elected US parties for the purpose of conferring with regard to permits, legal assistance, etc. in a US based project. "A" has expressed a preference for a given candidate for elected office.
- Russian individual "A" has a common trade or academic interest with a certain US based trade or academic foundation. "A" receives information from the FSB which reflects negatively on a US candidate for elected office. "A" passes that information to individual "B" who is engaged in the business of political opposition research. "B" provides that information to his client campaign and/or interested parties in the media.
- Russian individual "A" obtains private email communications between a US candidate for elected office and/or their advisors. "A" then makes those communications public through a third party.
- Russian individual "A" obtains private email communications between a US candidate for elected office and/or their advisors. "A", having a preference for the affected candidate, destroys the communications so that they will never see the light of day.
- Russian individual "A", working with the Bilderbergs, the Illuninati and other One World organizations seeks to destabilize the United States in the furtherance of achieving full blown Globalism. "A" engages in a complex scheme of propaganda, political influence peddling, cyber espionage, and a major media campaign to sow discord and doubt even at the local levels of American society. "A" doesn't really care what direction US elections go as long the results promote the cause of Globalism.
