Russia Arrests Hacking Experts for Treason

With four arrests Russia has essentially confirmed that the CIA and FBI reports that concluded Russia interfered with the American election to get Donald Trump elected are true: 
Russian news agencies are reporting that former members of the domestic security agency and a cybersecurity expert have been formally charged with treason.

Reports emerged last week that three officials of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and an executive for cybersecurity company Kaspersky Labs had been arrested for treason. Government officials haven’t commented on the case.
Russia denies they were involved with the hacking of the DNC, but these arrests started coming in December, right after US intelligence agencies issued reports on Russian hacking and Trump being compromised by the FSB while in Russia for the Miss Universe contest.

This shows why the CIA is so leery of releasing any information at all to the general public: when the Russians find out we know something, there are only so many ways we could have found out.

The people privy to the information that was leaked are the first suspects, and once you're suspected, it doesn't take long for the FSB to bust into your office, put a bag over your head and haul you off to Lubyanka.

Now, I wish someone would put a bag over Donald Trump's head so we don't have to see his stupid hair or hear the nastiness that constantly spews from his snarling lips...

The beautiful part of our country is that you get to post your beliefs without repercussion. I hope you appreciate that.
