Odd, no?

"The contacts, private chats and financial details of figures from every political party - except the far-right AfD - were posted on Twitter."

I would be too.

"I am outraged that I am learning about the data leak from the media, even though I am a member of the parliament's Intelligence Oversight Committee and Home Affairs Committee"

This is a very important cyberattack. So...Whodunit? As usual, @TomRtweets has a solid explainer, recommended:

Speaking of BS: Trumpers are engaging in a ton of whataboutism now. What about Hillary's Kremlin ties? What about GCI's secret $$$? They are dragging up everything now, no matter how ridiculous. Hence this fresh turd, which deserves a bit of unpacking....

foxnews.com/opinion/newt-g…
First, the Newtster is a smart guy and the former House Speaker. He knows better; he knows how Congress works; he understands the rules; he knows what he's spouting is complete BS. There was no Feinstein "spy scandal" -- and Gingrich is well aware of that. Yet, he persists.../2
If you knew nothing about this case, you'd read Newt's screed and think: OMG! Why didn't the MSM cover the massive PRC intelligence penetration of Sen Feinstein's staff? How could this happen???

It's fair to point out that the MSM often low-balls negative stories about Dems. /3

BAD TAKE ALERT:

While I have praised @NRO for its even-handedness (and then some) regarding Trump, this anti-FBI screed from @RichLowry (FYI the NR EIC -- who, let me say, I usually enjoy reading) needs to be called out.

nationalreview.com/2019/01/fbi-tr…
How, I ask you, is the FBI "trampling our political order" by conducting a counterintelligence investigation?

Not a criminal investigation (you know, possible arrests), CI.

That's, ahem, the Bureau's job.

Is POTUS above scrutiny? That seems to be the point of this piece. /2
Says @RichLowry: "US presidents over the decades have made many foolhardy decisions that have undermined our security; never before have they been deemed a fit subject for an FBI investigation."

Yes, this is true; but it omits the key fact here.... /3

Actually I was publicly pointing out Trump's unsettling Kremlin ties long before anyone on Team Hillary did but, hey -- #facts!

These are the #facts -- not my opinions, #facts.

Certain people in the know, myself included, in 2015-16 informed some of Trump's GOP rivals about Donnie's unsettling links to Moscow. They didn't really do anything with it, or at least nothing worth mentioning or effective. /2
Regrettably neither did Hillary do much with this information in 2016 -- I know it was out there -- before it was too late, by which point it looked frankly desperate, rather than something which the American public vitally needed to know about when selecting the next POTUS. /3

The reason you're not "supposed" to use the word "nationalist" is, it's the word neo-Nazis use to describe themselves.

Congrats to the Republican Party on your coming-out party.
This July, Donald Trump went to the EU and used the exact language of far right extremists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis, to talk about immigrants.

Not hyperbole, not slander. Just noting, what he said is exactly what they said. cnn.com/2018/07/13/pol…
This August, Donald Trump used the exact language of neo-Nazis and white supremacist groups to talk about South Africa.

Again, this isn't name calling. These groups say things. Donald Trump said the same things. That's a statement of fact. businessinsider.com/trump-promotes…

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

I have come to believe that any journalist who defends the murderous Putin regime and attempts to normalize its behavior and actions is betraying his/her profession and colleagues. Journalists' lives should not be at risk for reporting on their governments' behavior. Period.
Oh, and people who attempt to claim variously that (a) Russia did not attack our democracy by interfering with the 2016 election, or (b) even if it did, it was just normal international stuff and thus no big deal: You are tools. And you don't care about democracy.
I do find it bizarre, though, that these same defenders of Putin's regime from alleged anti-imperialist motives fall silent when confronted with the very real facts about the Russian sponsorship of far-right white-nationalist politics throughout Europe.

THIS IS IMPORTANT MY FRIENDS:
bbc.com/news/world-eur…
"Prosecutors believe more than 50 million euros ($62 million) of Russian mafia money was laundered by the Tambov and Malyshev gangs -- two of Russia's largest and best-known criminal organizations."
rferl.org/a/russia-spain…
It's on like Donkey Kong, my friends.
These guys were charged in 2008. The trial JUST STARTED TODAY.
SIGINT so much SIGINT!
from the BBC article: "The prosecution is based partly on phone intercepts in which suspects are allegedly heard speaking to gang bosses."
