Who are the "other political activists" the Russians communicated with?

These "other political activists" could be "witting" people associated with Trump's campaign or any campaign. Or with any PAC. Or with any political organization. These "other political activists" could be just about anyone.

The indictment describes Trump campaign officials who communicated with the Russians as "unwitting" in the defendants' plans: "Some defendants, posing as U.S. persons and without revealing their Russian association, communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign and with other political activists to seek to coordinate political activities."

“Sometimes an indictment is designed to catch the principal perpetrators. But sometimes an indictment or prosecution is launched with an eye towards accomplices and conspirators, who may not even be identified yet. In this case, the Russians are in Russia, and Putin isn’t going to hand them over any time soon. If someone in the United States assisted them, though, they could be prosecuted for their participation in the criminal endeavor. We don’t know who those persons are, but as of today we know a lot more about the criminal enterprise they were involved in.”

- Cornell Law School professor Jens David Ohlin

“The indictment is careful to say there are some unnamed conspirators and co-conspirators. We have no sense of who those might be and if they will be charged ever. ... There are no allegations in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant. But that is a telling statement by omission. There is no reason to think that is the only indictment released from Special Counsel’s office.”

- Constitutional law professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Law, Leah Litman

1. I would say the Bernie Bros.

2. Well, we know Jill Stein was at that dinner with Flynn and Putin. And the votes for her

in the three states were enough to flip the election.

So we shouldn't forget her.

But I bet there were MANY.
