Maria Zakharova, spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, calls the charges for "absurd". A Russian legislature call the indictment "another anti-Russian move," Reuters writes.

Believe nothing, until the Kremlin denies it.
"One can publish whatever they want. We see indictments, claims and statements rising in number…. So, unless we see the facts, all the rest will be just twaddle, I am sorry for my not so diplomatic expression," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said when taking the floor at Munich Security Conference.

Trump the Genius from Karlstad answers to the indictments...
Trump’s Conspicuous Silence Leaves a Struggle Against Russia Without a Leader
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/17/us/politics/trump-russia.html
President Trump’s first reaction was to claim personal vindication: “The Trump campaign did nothing wrong — no collusion!” he wrote on Twitter.
He voiced no concern that a foreign power had been trying for nearly four years to upend American democracy, much less resolve to stop it from continuing to do so this year.
....
Michael A. McFaul, an ambassador to Moscow under President Barack Obama, called Mr. Trump’s reaction to the indictments “shockingly weak” and said he should instead have criticized Mr. Putin for violating American sovereignty or even announced plans to punish Moscow.
“Instead, he just focused on his own campaign,” Mr. McFaul said. “America was attacked, and our commander in chief said nothing in response. He looks weak, not only in Moscow but throughout the world.”
...
John P. Carlin, a former assistant attorney general for national security and chief of staff to Mr. Mueller when he was F.B.I. director, said the president’s silence sent a message to Russia and the world.
“I think it does have consequences,” he said. The American government can warn against further interference, but “it would be better if it gets driven by the commander in chief. The goal is to drive a clear message that says the United States and our allies throughout the world that share our values are drawing a line that says ‘stop, this is unacceptable.’”

And Trump still doesn't understand...

When Trump says that there was no collision with Russians i believe him.
Trump is careful when walking and has someone hold his hand, so that he doesn't stumble.

When Putin said that Russian prostitutes were the best in the World, i'm sure that Trump said to himself "He's right".
I don't believe that Trump has ever collision-ed with a Russian.
There may have been some rubbing of bodies, frantic to and fro, but no collisions.

If Melania doesn't care, then who are we to say anything.
It all depends on what's in the prenuptial agreement.

Still a pee tape would be bad, and could definitely influence the president.

Considering his Stormy and McDougal, Rump spy, Rump little head do, one has to wonder about Russian female gifts and Russian Hotel rooms with built in NKVD recording devices.

The "collision" hysteria has, as of this moment, not been verified.

"collision" yes
"collusion" no

Shouldn't the question be, "Could Russian actions using social media affect future elections?" and if the answer is Yes, shouldn't the President be leading the necessary actions to prevent it in the future.

Shouldn't Trump be worried that if it is allowed to continue, it is just as likely that the Russians, or some other external organisation, might decide it would be better if Trump in 2020 or the GOP candidate in 2024 lose.

So far I see no leadership from Trump.

The head of Russian RT, Margarita Simonyan, wanted to celebrate Trump's election in 2016 by riding around with a US flag in her car window. It wasn't to praise the US, but to celebrate the completion of a successful info-op.

Will she celebrate the 2018 midterm elections as well?
"There should be no doubt that Russia perceived its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 midterm elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations,” Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told the Senate panel.

It doesn't matter whether it altered the outcome or not.
If the "outside influence" changed one persons voting decision. It is one vote too many.

"There is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the alleged unlawful activity. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election."
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/grand-jury-indicts-thirteen-russian-individuals-and-three-russian-companies-scheme-interfere
Perhaps when Mueller's Investigation or other impartial investigations reveals factual evidence regarding The Subject. We can restart this by citing facts and evidence.

No unlawful activity?
Former Trump campaign top aide Rick Gates agreed to plead guilty to fraud-related charges in Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference..
Rick Gates' decision to plead guilty is a reversal for the former Trump deputy campaign manager, who initially pleaded not guilty in October after being indicted on charges similar to the ones Manafort is facing. The pair were charged with 12 counts related to money laundering, tax fraud, conspiracy against the US, and failure to register as foreign agents.

So far, no facts specifically involving Trump.

Sigh...
Trump is the President of the USA and should know how to handle a crisis.
Maybe he wasn't personally involved, though that I seriosly doubt, but instead of letting the legal procedures proceed he is blaming both US officials and organisations for witch hunting.
That's a very wrong way to handle a crisis and shows that Trump is not competent to lead a country.

Do you expect there to be at this stage?

Mueller will at least have to interview Trump at some stage, although I assume Trump could refuse to be interviewed. Which would lead to the issue a subpoena asking a court to compel the president to appear before the grand jury, after that it gets very murky if he refuses. Or he retires, his only sensible option.

So everything you have posted so far has been a waste of time, because everybody knows the last action of this investigation, will be to present evidence of Trumps guilt or reasons why he is innocent.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/18/us/politics/russian-operatives-facebook-twitter.html
While most of the Americans duped by the Russian trolls were not public figures, some higher-profile people were fooled. The indictment mentions the Russian Twitter feed @TEN_GOP, which posed as a Tennessee Republican account and attracted more than 100,000 followers. It was retweeted by Donald Trump Jr.; Kellyanne Conway, the president’s counselor; Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser; and his son, Michael Flynn Jr.
They have expressed no regret that they were apparently taken in by the Russian operatives. Instead, since Friday’s indictment, Donald Trump Jr., like his father, has pointed mainly to the fact that it did not accuse the president or his associates of assisting the Russian operation.

Well then I guess everything is OK.
Good luck USA.
