c. The GRU’s Transfer of Stolen Materials to WikiLeaks Both the GRU and WikiLeaks sought to hide their communications, which has limited the Office’s ability to collect all of the communications between them. Thus, although it is clear that the stolen DNC and Podesta documents were transferred from the GRU to WikiLeaks

The Office (Mueller's office) was able to identify when the GRU (operating through its personas Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks) transferred some of the stolen documents to WikiLeaks through online archives set up by the GRU. Assange had access to the internet from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, England.

The point is Mueller stated early on in his report that the Russians were directly involved in stealing the emails from the Clinton Campaign, DNC and the DCCC. There is no doubt about this at all. They are known to have sent them to Wikileaks after obtaining them. There was also no doubt that Russians were in contact with the Trump Campaign through US activist identities.

b. Contact with Trump Campaign Officials in Connection to Rallies Starting in June 2016, the IRA contacted different U.S. persons affiliated with the Trump Campaign in an effort to coordinate pro-Trump IRA-organized rallies inside the United States. In all cases, the IRA contacted the Campaign while claiming to be U.S. political activists working on behalf of a conservative grassroots organization. The IRA’s contacts included requests for signs and other materials to use at rallies,107 as well as requests to promote the rallies and help coordinate logistics.108 While certain campaign volunteers agreed to provide the requested support (for example, agreeing to set aside a number of signs), the investigation has not identified evidence that any Trump Campaign official understood the requests were coming from foreign nationals.

In sum, the investigation established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election through the “active measures” social media campaign carried out by the IRA, an organization funded by Prigozhin and companies that he controlled. As explained further in Volume I, Section V.A, infra, the Office concluded (and a grand jury has alleged) that Prigozhin, his companies, and IRA employees violated U.S. law through these operations, principally by undermining through deceptive acts the work of federal agencies charged with regulating foreign influence in U.S. elections. 

Flynn was involved with the campaign. Why didn't he figure out this stuff? He was former US military intelligence. He didn't know the methods of the Russians?

There were materials and rallies provided by Russian AGENTS. At no point in time did Flynn wonder who these people were? I find that odd, UNLESS, as Barr states "...winning is all that matters."

I might point to the fact that the Russians that were under indictment were material to the Russian OPERATIONS in the USA regarding the 2016 Elections. They are no longer facing charges. Barr's AG office is corrupt. It is obvious.

Michael Flynn isn't discussed until page 194. I haven't gotten there yet.

So my last reading ended with Footnote 668 and the beginnings of the discussion by the Special Counsel of the June 9th meeting.
