      As I noted before today's news firehose started in earnest, SSCI didn't consider RU hacks of election vendors (as opposed to states). Yet we know RU did hack some vendors. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/05/09/the-gaping-holes-in-the-ssci-voting-security-report/ …

      In fact, the hack of an election vendor is the most credible possibility of a RU hack affecting votes, by holding up votes in Durham in NC. You know, Richard Burr's state?

      Also, the report neglects to consider that DHS warning might have been more effective had Mitch McConnell not refused to join a stronger statement. As a first product from SSCI, it's not good.

          I think that's right. I've been puzzled by what, precisely, Stone is being investigated for, and am growing increasingly suspicious that this may be it.

          I suspect there are several areas where Stone was a key participant in seeding the propaganda RU wanted. Key among those is the Seth Rich shit.

          I have a hard time figuring out what charge that corresponds to, though, unless it's simply an overt act within a CFAA or ConFraudUS conspiracy.

          Oh, it's a ConFraudUs conspiracy. Plus probably some other things.

          I can see that, but if I were the prosecutor, I wouldn't want that to be my keystone charge on Stone. There's no bad case law on using the charge that way, but there's also not a lot of great case law. And for various reasons, DOJ hates dealing with staged conspiracy charges.

          What do you mean by "staged conspiracy theories"?

          Conspiracy charges. DOJ guidelines, IIRC, recommend charging all members of a conspiracy simultaneously, because later-charged conspirators gain an an advantage over earlier-charged conspirators -- something you don't want if you're ladder-climbing.
