Extremely important...he was recently arrested in Moscow for spyng for the CIA....AND rumored to have provided details on the DNC hacking that allowed the US IC to state that it was directed by Putin....
NOW we come full circle......
The two Russian intelligence agents were identified as Dmitry Dokuchaev and Igor Sushchin, both of whom work for the FSB, the Russian spy agency successor to the KGB.
Dokuchaev was described as an officer in the FSB Center for Information Security, known as “Center 18”, which is supposed to investigate hacking.
According to the Washington Post, which first reported news of the charges, he began working for the agency to avoid prosecution for credit card fraud.
Dokuchaev was one of two FSB agents arrested in December, according to Russian news agencies, and charged with treason over alleged cooperation with the CIA.
Dmitri Docuhayev aka Forb now named as one suspect of #Yahoo #hack, was arrested for treason in Dec 2016.

Russia has been a kleptocracy since the collapse of the USSR, if not before, but the Internet now gives them the tools to conduct massive criminal activity globally. Thiw activity can support economic and political goals simultaneously. Once we recognize this as a threat to our national security interests the next question is do we have the tools and policy to deal with it? This is a separate yet related issue tied to their massive disinformation efforts. Again, we don't seem to have the tools or policy to mitigate it's effects, which in short is creating their version of color revolutions, but to create populist governments that are arguably drifting toward fascism. In other words a grand scheme to get more countries aligned with Russia ideologically.Quote:

Their internet activities also reflect this composition as well...whether from disinformation to propaganda to fake news to criminal activities to now formal Russian state sponsored hacking attacks....
Reference populist movements whether the US with Trump/Bannon and Miller...or Holland with Wilders or France with Le Pen or the AfD here in Germany really attempt to create fear and distrust by those that really are basically afraid of the following three things....
1. fear of getting sick
2. fear of getting old
3. fear of losing a job
COUPLED now with the attempt to blame someone other than themselves...NAMELY immigrants...foreigners...someone other than being white...
Why do I say blame others rather than themselves...because this group of voters seems to rather take cliches...slogans and rhetoric over the truth...meaning years ago they basically stopped being active within the concept of politics..stopped voting and dropped out...until someone comes along and places a verbal voice to their discontentment...and then suddenly they are energized again but in the wrong direction and rely on social media and right wing blogsites and are open to anything resembling a conspiracy theory IE "Deep State"....as it matches their own biases..thus they do not need "facts" or "truth".....
What is amazing to me is the simple fact that those that voted for Trump for whatever reason now are actually seeing that that hated ObamaCare WHICH they are on and or Medicaid for the first time is going to be taken away from them and they say..."but that is not what you said you would do"...or coal miners where Trump promised them their jobs back BUT is then cutting the Obamacare Black Lung medical coverage and disability pensions...
Which ignores the simple fact that yes Trump has lied so many times yet they still believe him because he is not "a politician"...and he is this perceived great "businessman" AND forgot his 650M USD debt load has to be paid by someone and SEVEN bankruptcies....
Actually I have been massively impressed with the Russia disinformation and propaganda campaign waged against the US...just as equally as good as their hacking...AND that is far more dangerous...
They have played the Trump supporters like a violin...just as Wilders has attempted to and as is Le Pen doing right now...here in Germany the AfD has been actually hurt by Trump and Brexit as their polling numbers which lay around 12-14% are now in the 7-8% range and still sinking.
BUT what is really interesting is that the general European public has seen the coming Brexit disaster and Trump front close and personal and has decided that the EU is not so bad after all...
In the Dutch vote....it took Erdogan and a stiff resistance by the government to him to finally wake the Dutch up to the facts that their economy is booming....society as a whole is doing actually well...and unemployment is sinking weekly to low levels not seen since 1975....AND were they willing to balance that against a railing fascist neo Nazi who wanted to throw everything overboard.....with no guarantee that things would be even better.
BTW....I did warn about Trump and his drift towards a US version of "smiling fascism" literally months ago.....
WHY is the US ultra right wing and neo right wing TRYING to out Russia Russia on the disinformation and or propaganda front????

Russia Today, Sputnik International, and even the RIS SVR media front Katehon are more subtle than this.
Rand Paul is blocking the US Senate from ratifying Montenegro's ascension to NATO
WHY is that and in whose geopolitical sphere is this of high interest...Russia...who has mounted a massive propaganda attack against
Montenegro to keep them out of NATO and EU.....
BUT WAIT....his father Ron Paul who created the Institute for Peace and Prosperity massively verbally supported the right for Russia to militarily annex Crimea WHO then became rather quiet when social media revealed how much money he had been receiving for his Institute out of Russia....
Notice how Rand Paul qualifies his NO...by stating the US budget which Montenegro would not contribute to....

'The senator from Kentucky is now working for Putin': John McCain slams Rand Paul for blocking Montenegro from joining NATO
Natasha Bertrand, Business Insider
BLUF:......Quote:
Republican Sen. John McCain slammed his GOP colleague, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, on Wednesday after Paul blocked the passage of a treaty that would allow Montenegro to move forward with joining NATO, Defense News'#Joe Gould reported.
McCain warned before the vote that “If there’s objection, you are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin...and I do not say that lightly.”
Paul then entered the Senate chamber, voted against the accession protocol,#and exited.#
“The only conclusion you can draw when he walks away is he has no argument to be made,” McCain said after Paul walked out abruptly, according to The Washington Examiner. "The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin."
Russian President Vladimir Putin is staunchly opposed to Montengro's accession to NATO, which he views as a threat to Russian sovereignty.#Albania and Croatia joined the alliance 2009.
"Senator McCain believes that the person who benefits the most from Congress’s failure to ratify Montenegro’s ascension to NATO is Vladimir Putin, whose government has sought to destroy the NATO alliance, erode confidence in America’s commitments to its allies, overthrow the duly-elected government of Montenegro, and undermine democratic institutions throughout Europe," McCain's spokesperson, Julie Tarallo, told Business Insider on Wednesday.
"The overwhelming majority of senators who support this treaty, and certainly the people of Montenegro, deserved an explanation from Senator Paul on the Senate floor as to why he sought to prevent this small, brave country from joining in the defense of the free world," Tarallo added.
For Montenegro to move forward with the accession process, which was approved in May, the treaty has to be ratified by the US Senate by unanimous consent.#Twenty-one#of 28 NATO allies have already#backed Montenegro's accession.
Asked about McCain's comment, Paul stood by his decision to block the treaty and said it would be#"unwise to expand the monetary and military obligations of the United States given the burden of our $20 trillion debt."
"Currently, the United States has troops in dozens of countries and is actively fighting in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen (with the occasional drone strike in Pakistan)," Paul told Business Insider in a statement provided by#his office.#"In addition, the United States is pledged to defend 28 countries in NATO."
McCain promised#Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic in January#that the Senate would ratify the treaty soon, according to Radio Free Europe.
Markovic was the target of a coup#plot, allegedly orchestrated by Russian intelligence agents, to overthrow Montenegro's pro-NATO government and replace it with a Russia-friendly regime, The New York Times reported. The plot was uncovered in November after the pro-Russian mercenary who helped organize it was arrested by Montenegrin police.
AND the Trump WH NSC policy statement on this was what again?....None....
SO again the core question...JUST how many US Congressmen and Senators have open hands and are getting Russian financial support via lobbyists and campaign donations and or donations to their own Institutes OR getting paid speaking engagements and or overseas press tours paid by Russia and are not reporting this...
A rather growing number actually....all Republicans it seems...
Breitbart.com is already attacking the McCain-Montenegro story by intimating McCain is "senile." Expect a fake news onslaught about his health.
HOW is it that a proven white nationalist and sometimes white supremacist blogsite has so much influence inside the Trump WH???
BTW...they have also a journalist seat inside the WH Press Corp....
BLUF..when does Russian propaganda start and Breitbart.com stop and vice versa.....
BTW..it is just not Russians who are illegally monitoring US citizens....
And that slow Trump march towards a US version of "smiling fascism" just keeps on "smiling"....

Trump voter James Walker, 31, from Nashville, says: "This is the first step: showing up and being honest."
There is nothing wrong in admitting one has been mislead...some of the fake news out on the net is actually very well made....even I have problems at times....
It takes personal courage to stand up and admit it...

Does anybody really believe that a reporter, who nobody ever heard of, "went to his mailbox" and found my tax returns? @NBCNews FAKE NEWS!
NOW what is interesting is that social media open source analysis has actually stated his 2005 tax form was leaked deliberately by either Trump and or a close "friend"....
Tell us more, Roger. How would you know about the content of emails that Russia hacked but didn't release?
