The entire case does not rest on "IP address". Did you read the rest of the document?
The details are documented. They followed the paper trail created by all of the shell corporations and financial transactions used to fund this $1.25M/month operation, had testimony from witnesses involved in the conspiracy to the Grand Jury, and evidence from stealing the identities of US citizens to commit bank fraud. It also lists 12 specific people behind the operation including what role they played (travel to US, purchasing IT equipment, etc). This begins on page 5.
Here's a particularly relevant excerpt from page 24:
58. In order to avoid detection and impede investigation by U.S. authorities of Defendants'
operations, Defendants and their co-conspirators deleted and destroyed data, including emails,
social media accounts, and other evidence of their activities.
a. Beginning in or around June 2014, and continuing into June 2015, public reporting
began to identify operations conducted by the ORGANIZATION in the United
States. In response, Defendants and their co-conspirators deleted email accounts
used to conduct their operations.
b. Beginning in or around September 2017, U.S. social media companies, starting
with Facebook, publicly reported that they had identified Russian expenditures on
their platforms to fund political and social advertisements. Facebook's initial
disclosure of the Russian purchases occurred on or about September 6, 2017, and
included a statement that Facebook had "shared [its] findings with US authorities
investigating these issues."
c. Media reporting on or about the same day as Facebook's disclosure referred to
Facebook working with investigators for the Special Counsel's Office of the U.S.
Department of Justice, which had been charged with investigating the Russian
government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
d. Defendants and their co-conspirators thereafter destroyed evidence for the purpose
of impeding the investigation. On or about September 13, 2017, K.AVERZINA
wrote in an email to a family member: "We had a slight crisis here at work: the
FBI busted our activity (not a joke). So, I got preoccupied with covering tracks
together with the colleagues." KAVERZINA further wrote, "I created all these
pictures and posts, and the Americans believed that it was written by their people."
Who is "everyone" in "everyone takes at face value with zero second thought"? and where is the resistance "to a simple request for evidence rather than allegations is in matters within the political realm, objectivity will soon be a thing of the past if we keep going like this."
Who is taking them at face value and who is resistant to a simple request for evidence? Straw man and a hasty generalization.
I've been engaging with you in good faith. Are you doing the same? Read the documents I've shared. You're exhibiting the behavior of a troll.
From former Assistant United States Attorney of the Central District of California, Ken White:
"A grand jury is a group of citizens brought together to determine whether to bring criminal charges against someone suspected of a crime.
...
The Fifth Amendment says "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury . . . ." So, the Constitution requires that the federal government get an indictment from a federal grand jury before charging you with a federal felony."
Page 16-19 have particularly relevant evidence, beginning with the title 'Actions Targeting the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election'. I encourage you to read the whole document as it provides context about who the Defendants are alleged
Page 18 has a relevant section I'd like to highlight regarding suppressing voter turnout.
"In or around the latter half of 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators, through their
ORGANIZATION-controlled personas, began to encourage U.S. minority groups not to vote in
the 2016 U.S. presidential election or to vote for a third-party U.S. presidential candidate.
a. On or about October 16, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used the
ORGANIZATION-controlled Instagram account "Woke Blacks" to post the
following message: "[A] particular hype and hatred for Trump is misleading the
people and forcing Blacks to vote Killary. We cannot resort to the lesser of two
devils. Then we'd surely be better off without voting AT ALL."
b. On or about November 3, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators purchased an
advertisement to promote a post on the ORGANIZATION-controlled Instagram
account "Blacktivist" that read in part: "Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein. Trust
me, it's not a wasted vote."
c. By in or around early November 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used
the ORGANIZATION-controlled "United Muslims of America" social media
accounts to post anti-vote messages such as: "American Muslims [are] boycotting
elections today, most of the American Muslim voters refuse to vote for Hillary
Clinton because she wants to continue the war on Muslims in the middle east and
voted yes for invading Iraq."
The tail end of Page 18 but mostly Page 19 has relevant evidence to sowing election disinformation:
"Starting in or around the summer of 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators also began
to promote allegations of voter fraud by the Democratic Party through their fictitious U.S. personas
and groups on social media. Defendants and their co-conspirators purchased advertisements on
Facebook to further promote the allegations.
a. On or about August 4, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators began purchasing
advertisements that promoted a post on the ORGANIZATION-controlled Facebook
account "Stop A.I." The post alleged that "Hillary Clinton has already committed
voter fraud during the Democrat Iowa Caucus."
b. On or about August 11, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators posted that
allegations of voter fraud were being investigated in North Carolina on the
ORGANIZATION-controlled Twitter account@TEN_GOP.
c. On or about November 2, 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used the same
account to post allegations of "#VoterFraud by counting tens of thousands of
ineligible mail in Hillary votes being reported in Broward County, Florida."
