> NEW YORKER--The latest [indictment](https://www.justice.gov/file/1080281/download) produced by the special counsel [Robert Mueller](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/robert-mueller) is a brisk read.

 “You can see, in detail, how the Russian spies operated,” *The New Yorker’s* [Adam Entous](https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/adam-entous) told me on Friday, a few hours after the document was made public. “You learn a ton.”

The indictment accuses twelve Russian military-intelligence officers of interfering in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election by hacking the computers of people working for the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party, releasing material stolen from those computers to the public, and then trying to cover their tracks.

It details how the Russians used various means, including the hacker persona Guccifer 2.0, to communicate with journalists and other people in the U.S. And, in one notable paragraph, the document says that the Russians tried to hack e-mail accounts used by Clinton’s personal office on July 27, 2016—the same day that [Donald Trump](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/donald-trump), at a rally, publicly asked Russia to try to find Clinton’s “missing” e-mails.
