In a recent course of events Special Counsel to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Robert Mueller, has filed a criminal indictment against several Russian nationals amid allegations they interfered in the 2016 presidential election in support of President Donald Trump.
As of this date, the Russian Kremlin has denied and altogether dismissed the federal indictment as "baseless." After personally reading through the 37 pages of the Department of Justice indictment I must agree with Russian officials that this submission is devoid of any merit.
First, where are the sworn statements attesting under oath as to the validity of the allegations? Second, and in further aggravation for lack of supporting documentation, where are the exhibits substantiating the allegations? If we filed a complaint like this in a competent court the judge would be right to sanction us for wasting time, resources, and further assess sanctions for harassing the defending parties. The court would also be correct in dismissing the action in its entirety.
For the mere fact that the U.S.D.O.J. alleges Russian interference in the United States' internal political affairs, it alleges a violation of the Right to Self-Determination. An allegation of such magnitude must be referred to the United Nations for informal resolution. If no informal resolution can be met, then a formal grievance filed with the International Criminal Court. This way, both nations and their members would be forced to demonstrate their position on the world stage beyond empty accusations.
