A claim by npr that "Russian Trolls" are doing one thing or another doesn't matter unless it can be shown (a) they are government actors

See? This is what I am talking about. The premier Russian troll factory, the Internet Research Agency, is well documented by now. Including its links with Putin. In addition, its attempts to influence the election are indisputable.

en.wikipedia.org

As to your c), that is along the lines of if a conspiracy to do something isn't successful, it isn't really a crime. Although there is a general consensus that the IRA had some success in interfering with the election. Probably was even a key factor.

Might I also add that line of defense was/is also heavily promoted by the IRA?

And, of course, you know nothing about this. Even though it is all over the internet. I guess it didn't make you Russian supported sites...
