Reported treason arrests fuel Russian hacking intrigue

MOSCOW (AP) January 31, 2017 — In the days since it emerged that four men had been arrested on treason charges linked to cyber intelligence and Russia's domestic security agency, conspiracy theories and speculation about the case have swept through Moscow.

Was it some fallout from the alleged Russian hacking of the U.S. presidential election? Were they part of a hunt for a possible mole who tipped off American intelligence agencies? Was it a power struggle within Russia's security services?

Specifics of the case are murky, and no Russian government officials have commented publicly. Russian media have been filled with lurid, often contradictory, details that most assume are leaked by warring factions of intelligence officers.

Now that is extremely interesting, LL.

Hasn't one turned up dead somewhere, which is rather an occupational hazard in that line of work?

Er, the KGB? I think the Mail needs to brush up on its spy networks....

Great memory Bonny! x

The KGB, an initialism for Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnostim, was the main security agency for the Soviet Union from 1954 until its break-up in 1991. Its replacement is The Ministry for State Security, or MGB, Ministerstvo Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti, created by Putin in September 2016. Erovinkin was a KGB general, Putin a KGB agent. LL

Well, Traitor McCain is involved in all this, which means George Soros is, too.

So I am not even going to attempt to guess what is going on.

But I do wish President Trump would arrest Soros, shove him in a packing case, and drop him off over the Kremlin. With or without a parachute.

Wild applause from me.
