> People that could not be arrested or extradited were indicted for a reason - Mueller knew this case would never actually be litigated.

Those are random pictures of people not in this indictment just FYI. Your comment is completely off topic.

Indicted. You know, the first step before someone can get convicted?

I know that Russia will never extradite them, and so does Mueller.

Well then, you should also know that these indictments were filed under oath by Mueller and his team, under the penalty of disbarment and literal criminal charges

They didn't lie, they don't have to. Everything in this indictment may be what they believe happened. But these are broad strokes. It looks like any of these allegations would be difficult or impossible to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Grand juries indict based on probable cause, which an entirely different (and far lower) standard. They have probable cause if a credible witness, such as an FBI agent, simply tells them that they believe something happened.
