Q: Why do people claim the Internet Research Agency indictment shows awesome forensics? It shows nothing of the sort. It shows one email that could be collected under 702, and Facebook's own analysis, plus a vague nod to IDing VPNs.

I think there's a lot more than that. Just by way of eg, para 38. How is that provable in evidence? Don't have a witness to speak to that

You do have the unnamed person who traveled to the US in Nov 2014 as a witness, and possibly others (some IRA insiders have complained they didn't get a call). But that's also intercepts, not forensics.

Oh OK, completely misunderstood what you meant, ref to one email and 702.

I'm just saying I don't think this indictment demanded the full extent of Dickey's abilities.

Yes my misunderstanding. Agree fully with that, suspect he has plenty else to work on.

Yup. There will be forensics. Mueller might even be forced to show them, if anything goes to trial. But we haven't seen them yet.
