      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/ …

          Uh, because I have a wi-fi-equipped crystal ball that allows remote viewing of past events? ;) Obviously no one (except Putin & his inner circle) knows for sure: it’s all conjecture, based on circumstantial evidence.

          That said, ex-KGB Col Putin should hang his head in shame if he DIDN’T record/document incriminating details of DT’s collusion w/him. Of course,Putin wouldn’t face impeachment & prison (!), but DT certainly would... that’s the ULTIMATE Kompromat on DT.https://twitter.com/feefer2/status/947229942978244608 …

          Putin’s sitting in the cat-bird seat, completely in control. Ex-KGB Col Vladdie would’ve been a fool NOT 2 document his efforts 2 hack; all he had 2 do is order his FSB agents 2 roll over on DT by releasing detailed notes/vids of how DT colluded, & DT, NOT Putin, goes 2 prison.

          Putin’s just playing with DT now, in a race to see whether Vladdie gets tired of trifling with his prey before he devours him (by dumping incriminating evidence via Wikileaks or other “publisher”) or if Mueller independently uncovers same evidence first...pic.twitter.com/Sn0CwCnwge
