I went through the whole indictment, what appears quite odd is that there is a total lack of any quantification when it comes to describing the activities of those indicted.
The only numbers there that I was able found there are pretty much that cca 8400 Facebook users at some point clicked on an ad for a Florida rally, and that they at some point contacted about 100 US citizens in a FB group.
Please check for yourself.
That makes it quite difficult to get any idea about a potential effect of such campaigns. In fact it makes the content of the whole indictment look very marginal at best.
It would certainly make for a difficult case to persuade a jury that such campaigns would have a notable effect on the outcome of the elections, which is likely the primary reason why such claim is not even mentioned in the indictment in the first place.
