    It has something to do with the intel report released yesterday.

    It'll be great if they do it to verified users Trump and Putin, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I don't think he started out that way. My sense is that he started out being against American hegemony. That path led him to his alliance with Putin.

    I agree but since being holed up in the embassy he has become a fan of Russia. Let's not forget essentially that embassy is a very low level prison. His hate for Obama, the Clintons and all of that has fermented. He views the Dems as worse than the GOP because they are suppose to be the left.

    Latest footage of Assange at the embassy

    He is at that point right now, when it comes to the USA.

    According to a report by researchers at The Swedish Institute of International Affairs.

    Russia spread fake news and disinformation in Sweden - Russia has coordinated a campaign over the past 2 years to influence Sweden’s decision making by using disinformation, propaganda and false documents

    Report also mentions Germany, France, Finland and Ukraine.

    With Breibart ready to launch French and German language versions of their website, I wonder if Bannon and Breibart will partner with Russia with election in several European countries nearing.

    Couple of days ago Breibart published this gem: 1,000-Man Mob Attack Police, Set Germany’s Oldest Church Alight on New Year’s Eve

    Which forced the Germany to respond: German police quash Breitbart story of mob setting fire to Dortmund church

    You may have noticed a ton of leaks about investigations over the last few days. The reason is because the intel agencies want to make it very very difficult for their new boss to shut down the investigations.

    Trump is the most shameless person of all time. So I have doubts about the strategy working.

    Um, holy crap.

    "According to the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, the FSB believes Sergei Mikhailov tipped off U.S. officials to information about Vladimir Fomenko and his server rental company “King Servers,” which the American cybersecurity company ThreatConnect identified last September as “an information nexus” that was used by hackers suspected of working for Russian state security in cyberattacks."

    What I'm going to say, I have not proof of, but giving the apparent proximity between Putin and Trump's circle and the vindictiveness that they act with, I believe to be very possible. Someone was speculating about Mikhailov being ousted from this side of the world.

    It's entirely plausible, but it likely would have leaked if it had been done this way. People with a conscience would not go quietly if this happened.

    I don't believe that you can have a conscience and be part of the Trump three ring circus...

    The people with the intel have been there long before Trump and should be there long after.

    Flynn quit. And word is that they have more intel on Trump's Russia ties. All we need is a leak. Where is wiki-leaks when you need them?
