A couple of things here:
- Obviously the Russians are actively still running political misinformation campaigns and I wouldn't underestimate their capabilities
- The US lawyers who represented the Russian company and allowed these to be released despite a gag order should probably face disbarment (my opinion anyway)
- Things we read on Twitter and Facebook that seem too good to be true if they support a position any of us agree with and want to be true, should probably be put under extra scrutiny.

Awaiting the reaction from the Judge. She has already ripped the defense lawyer for his games. I want to see what she does about this violation.
My understanding to this is the Russians took bits of data, twisted it, and attempted to show the Special Counsel had nothing.
Mueller put a quick stop to that.

I see from reading the responses by the Trump supporters to this article that now the defense is "no harm was done." First it was "it did not happen." The it was "it is not a crime." Then it was "maybe it was somebody else." Then it was "What about Hillary?" Now it seems to be "so what?"

MSG Stan Hutchison We need to get the politics out of this, and I know it's a tall order. They don't care if the person benefitting is a Republican or Democrat, they are just trying to create instability.

SPC Kevin Ford - Very true. But, if one side refuses to see the danger, we are in trouble.

- Yes, they are. The DNI explained as much in Congressional testimony yesterday...then the President trashed our intel agencies on Twitter. Curious.
- Yep.
- Yep...critical thinking, doubt, and fact-checking should become defaults. Unfortunately that also requires the capacity to be honest with oneself, admit mistakes, and acknowledge that you can be wrong while others are right...something seemingly few people today possess.
