      Re: FBI revealing investigation into Hillary and not Trump. One was an investigation started in response to Congressional requests. The other was a CI investigation. You really wanted FBI to scream, "Hey Vlad!?!?!?! We're in your shorts so start killing the witnesses"?

      He appears to have killed a lot of the witnesses before the information broke global.

      Actually no evidence to support that.

      9 people I can remember who are suspiciously dead plus two dragged off with black bags over their heads.

      And all but one of those 9 has no discernible relation to any person involved in the election. And Luke Harding reported the 9th had no tie to the dossier.

      AND for MONTHS there have been other explanations for the treason case, having a lot more to do with a rival hack and leak run out of Ukraine.

      I would bet the two guys dragged off with black bags over their heads had leaked to Christopher Steel.

      Then why are they indicted in the US for stuff related to the hack?

          You mean aside from the obvious answer: because the DOJ feels they have sufficient evidence to prosecute these Russian citizens for violating American law (Computer Fraud & Abuse Act, i.e. hacking)?

          Allegedly our sources, that's what you're saying? We're prosecuting our sources for CFAA?

          No, I’m saying the individuals arrested by Putin (for treason against Russia) seem to fit the description of sources mentioned in the Steele dossier... IIRC, individuals indicted in US are those who led the hacking efforts (SVR/GRU) but their teams sloppily left “fingerprints”.

          Do you know the names of the two FSB officers arrested for treason? And have you read the Yahoo indictment?

          I’m referring to these two high-level officials (reported in NYT ~ 1 yr ago) arrested by Putin for treason. As article says, details weren’t given as to what specific incidence(s) the arrests are related to.https://nyti.ms/2ktLqj1

          That's sort of a shitty article. Let me repeat. Do you know what the names of the two FSB officers arrested for treason are. And have you read the Yahoo indictment?

          Yeah, as this MJ article from Sept points out, it’s not unusual to indict double-agent to provide a cover: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/09/yahoo-indictment-offers-clues-russia-election-hacking/ …

          So you think we indicted CIA's sources?
