Re the Russian intel agents indicted.
They’re believed to have committed crimes, hence the indictment. Obviously they won’t be extradited. Far more important is the fact that Roger Stone boasted of being in touch with Guccifer, who is now indicted as Russian intel, and the FBI appears to have evidence that the agents were in touch with ‘Organisation 1’, which releases 20k DNC emails on 22 July. The same date Wikileaks releases 20k emails.
This isn’t about bringing those Russians to justice - it’s about establishing a paper trail linking them to the interference in the election campaign, and to people aligned with the Trump campaign. ‘Cutouts’ is the intel jargon for the intermediaries you use to not have direct connections. The indictment is all about the cutouts.
