It looks like the defense's appeal on this point was not granted (or even addressed) in the court's Feb 28 ruling--

No. They won't get the internal statements (so people at the WH discussing RU). But presumably they can still raise Trump's public comments?

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Winner's lawyers make a bid to call high level witnesses, the same way Lowell did in the AIPAC trial.

is this a good move for her personally or just a good move for her larger cause?

There's certainly much I don't know. But it is very possible that the document she leaked was a honeypot meant to catch would-be leakers. But if the leak was real, the government might have to release more information to prove it.

I absolutely think there's way more than meets the eye. They said they were hacked by two entities, both Russia. That they said APT 28 spearphished and APT 29 was in their system for a whole year. G2 said something about "I was in your system for a year, you think that's all

I've got." After that they completely shut up about AP29. So it sort of looks like G2 and Shadowbrokers shut them up with the ability to blackmail them. Also, the only connection to APT29 appears to be one python module. Seadaddy or Sea Duke. That is a very small connection to

APT 29 malware family.

That seems funny because there’s no Russian hackers involved there’s no proof Assange offered evidence White House that Russia wasn’t involved Really winner schizophrenic rookie caught smuggling information in pantyhose

Is your bot brain going to explode when Mueller rolls out the indictments for the hacking you claim never happened?
