US State Department threatens Russian Election observers Is it not a crime in the USA for the government to threaten people based on them exercising freedom of speech and press?
US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller said "United States continue to use all available tools to hold accountable those individuals responsible for actions that undermine the sovereignty territorial Integrity or political independence of free countries including those to serve as election observers for the Kremlin sham elections in occupied parts of Ukraine"
There are many official international observers(many of which are journalists) of the Russian presidential elections in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaperozia and Kherson. There are many journalists(non observers) reporting on the election in these areas(including myself). Should all of these people be threatened by the US State Department Spokesperson statement? What is the goal of this illegal threat by the US government? Why do they find it necessary to break the US constitution to make this threat?
Also should be noticed that The people voting in these regions are Russian citizens.
