Mueller report: Russians hacked Florida county election system. Many Roger Stone references redacted.

The long-awaited, redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report released Thursday refers to several Florida links to Russia’s attempt to interfere with the U.S. presidential election.

New information is sparse in relevant sections of the report, which isn’t in a searchable form and which blacks out some material — including details about some of the people and events related to Florida.

“As you will see, most of the redactions were compelled by the need to prevent harm to ongoing matters and to comply with court orders prohibiting the public disclosure of information bearing upon ongoing investigations and criminal cases, such as the IRA case and the Roger Stone case,” Attorney General William Barr said at a Washington, D.C., briefing.

The IRA refers to the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg, Russia.

“In November 2016, the GRU sent spearphishing emails to over 120 email accounts used by Florida county officials responsible for administering the 2016 U.S. election. The spearphishing emails contained an attached Word document coed with malicious software [commonly referred to as a Trojan] that permitted the GRU to access the infected computer.

“The FBI was separately responsible for this investigation. We understand the FBI believes that this operation enabled the GU to gain access to the network of at least one Florida county government. The [Special Counsel’s] Office did not independently verify that belief and, as explained above, did not undertake the investigative steps that would have been necessary to do so.”

One of the Mueller indictments alleged that an officer in the Russian military who worked in Russian intelligence and his co-conspirators relied on an email account designed to look as if it came from a vendor used by election officials.
