It said candidate, I'm guessing it was someone who didn't get elected.

The current speculation is that it was a political consultant (Anthony Bustamante) who worked on the campaign of Brian Mast who was elected in Florida-18th. Bustamante previously admitted to soliciting info from Guccifier and receiving donor logs from the DCCC.

Thanks for the tip. From Politico:

quote:

Almost as soon as the indictment was released Friday, Florida Republicans, Democrats and even allies of Mast speculated that the congressman’s campaign was likely implicated — in great part because a former campaign consultant for Mast admitted last year to The Wall Street Journal and then to POLITICO that he used some of the hacked information in 2016.

Mast, through a spokesman, denied a link.

Regardless of Mast’s potential involvement, the indictment shines a new light on the depths of Russia’s election meddling as well as the weaponization of information in U.S. political campaigns.

“Even prostitutes are embarrassed by how dirty political consultants are. It’s become a business that’s 100 percent zero-sum. It’s all about the results,” said Jacob Perry, a former consultant for Mast who worked on local issues in Florida’s 18th Congressional District, which sits on the northern edge of Southeast Florida.

“If this is true, I think Brian is absolutely a victim of trusting the wrong people,” Perry said. “If this happened, it happened without his knowledge or approval. He is one of the most ethical people you will ever meet. He has zero tolerance for unethical behavior.”

quote:

The indictment of 12 Russian intelligence operatives filed Friday by special counsel Robert Mueller stated that "a candidate for the U.S. Congress" who was not named in the filing contacted Russian operatives posing as the hacker "Guccifer 2.0" and requested information stolen from the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) email server.

"The conspirators responded using the Guccifer 2.0 persona and sent the candidate stolen documents related to the candidate's opponent," the filing reads.

The court filing does not name the candidate involved in the information transaction or their party affiliation.




quote:

The memo points out possible vulnerabilities in the campaign of Annette Taddeo (D), who at the time was facing former Rep. Joe Garcia (D) in a heated Florida Democratic primary to challenge incumbent Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R) in the 2016 election cycle. 

Parts of the stolen document specifically note Taddeo's fundraising difficulties and praise Garcia's name recognition. Garcia won the primary later that month and lost to Curbelo in the general election that November.

I'll bet Mueller is using the term "candidate" to hold everyone in suspense.

And, why didn't he indict this person?

Because he isn't Trump and probably Joe Garcia.
