Yeah but then we’ll have to spend trillions to catch up with Russian botnet technology.
Perhaps. Then again, it’s not like our trillions spent on military hardware makes for guaranteed outcomes.
‘Sources’ are only fake when used by #FakeNews! Fox ‘sources’ always tell the Truth!
Putin seems to have decided that Trump and Spicer are useless, and that someone better at all this needs to push the talking points:
In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro released Tuesday, Putin reaffirmed his strong denial of Russia’s involvement in the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails that yielded disclosures that proved embarrassing for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The claims of Russian interference were driven by the “desire of those who lost the U.S. elections to improve their standing,” Putin said in the interview recorded during his Monday visit to France.
“They want to explain to themselves and prove to others that they had nothing to do with it, their policy was right, they have done everything well, but someone from the outside cheated them,” he continued. “It’s not so. They simply lost, and they must acknowledge it.”
The “people who lost the vote hate to acknowledge that they indeed lost because the person who won was closer to the people and had a better understanding of what people wanted,” the Russian leader said in a reference to President Donald Trump.
You gotta understand, Vlad old buddy, that if you only pay for cut-rate unskilled labor, you’re going to end up doing the job yourself anyway.

That’s why you don’t pay them.
The same day Cohen refused to cooperate with the House and Senate investigations. Hmmm…

I kind of think a bunch of these folks are going to start dying in weird ways. At some point, it becomes so obvious that shady stuff is going on, that simply murdering then is no worse from an optics angle for Putin. It’s just as easy for him to say, “hey, sometimes folks die! It can’t be helped!”
I would not want to be one of the folks entangled in this shit.
It wouldn’t surprise me if there were some murders happening, because after all this is Putin. However, I have to say that this kind of conspiracy stuff reminds me a lot of the Killary talk, Vincent Foster was taken to a safehouse and killed, etc.

Sure, if it was just Trump, I wouldn’t be saying he was killing people.
But Putin absolutely does have people murdered.

I think some of the people in the original Trump dossier are dead now, aren’t they?
Nah, Oronov died in March (and was mentioned in the press, and in this thread, at the time.)
Dateline comprehension failure.
And nobody was surprised:
Nigel Farage is a “person of interest” in the US counter-intelligence investigation that is looking into possible collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, the Guardian has been told.
“Fake news?”
Why did Invasion of the Body Snatchers immediately come to mind when I read that?
