While the Soviet Union no longer exists, the unnamed man "is suspected by some U.S. officials of having ongoing ties to Russian intelligence," per NBC. That means he may still be a Russian spy. He was subsequently identified by the Associated Press as Rinat Akhmetshin.
Yesterday afternoon, The Daily Beast reported (link here) that Akhmetshin has been linked to an international hacking conspiracy. He was paid $140,000 "to organize a public relations campaign" about a company's rival (IMR) right before the rival was hacked.
"Shortly after he began that work, IMR suffered a sophisticated and systematic breach of its computers, and gigabytes of data allegedly stolen in the breach wound up the hands of journalists," The Daily Beast piece says.
So let's connect the dots. Trump and his campaign repeatedly lied about having any contacts with Russians or the Russian government, when in fact his own relatives were meeting during the campaign with Russian government go-betweens, at least one of whom was a former and possibly still current spy accused of sophisticated hacking.
A few hours later, Trump the candidate appeared before supporters at a Manhattan event and announced that he soon would be revealing shocking information about his Democratic opponent.
Not long afterwards, the Democratic Party and officials with the Democratic candidate's campaign were hacked and their material was shared with journalists by Russian hackers.
But surely that's all a gigantic coincidence.

ReplyDeleteThose «Russian soap stories» are beginning to be quite something to follow up.
ReplyDeleteMust admit that Russian circus are famous for their acrobats and clowns..
I'm not sure that Trumpty Dumpty was really aware of his relatives actions during the campaign but "HE" is surely relieved that ALL those «fake news» are blinding ALL "HIS" other failures like Trump Care, Immigration Ban or the foreign problems in Syria and Middle East.
The attention of almost all the USA's press for that Russian farce is giving to it makes them miss the worst of all: Trumpty Dumpty is NOT fit to be a president. "HE" is VERY dangerous and unpredictable and worst, an ignorant that doesn't even listen to his advisors in the White House.
For a country that is supposed to be FIRST technological most advanced in the world and that its intelligence services as CIA and FBI are at the edge of awareness seems that you didn't detect the failure in your electoral system.
Was it in purpose by high authorities or from other black sided groups?
Like the J.F. Kennedy assassination or the 9-11 attacks NOBODY really knows what or who did it. The same here..
Those are some of the USA mysteries that are kept silenced by... ????
