“Russian hackers piggy-backed on an Iranian cyber-espionage operation to attack government and industry organizations in dozens of countries while masquerading as attackers from the Islamic Republic, British and U.S. officials said on Monday.” reut.rs/2Bw4ZSq
“The Russian group, known as “Turla” & accused by Estonian and Czech authorities of operating on behalf of Russia’s FSB, has used Iranian tools and computer infrastructure to successfully hack in to organizations in at least 20 different countries over the last 18 months.”
“By gaining access to the Iranian infrastructure, Turla was able to use APT34’s “command and control” systems to deploy its own malicious code.”

"Their secret memorandums cleared the way for aggressive policies — like waterboarding and other harsh interrogation techniques — all but ensuring that neither policy makers nor operatives could face criminal prosecution for actions blessed as legal."
We need new laws.

🤞Looks like these 2 buses leaving Moscow’s Lefortovo prison under heavy police escort are part of Ukraine-Russia long-awaited prisoner swap. 24 Ukrainian sailors have been imprisoned there since Russian FSB attacked their vessels at Kerch Strait last Nov.
Russian media posts photos of Ukrainian sailors on the buses presumably released from Lefortovo prison today, in the Ukraine-Russia prisoner exchange finally now underway.
Reports say filmmaker Oleg Sentsov is part of today’s Ukraine-Russia prisoner swap. Sentsov was arrested in June 2014 on bogus terrorism charges in annexed Crimea. Russia was targeting high-profile activists in Ukraine’s pro-democracy EuroMaidan Revolution.

#Russia’s brand of exceptionalism is not messianic. It is rooted in the isolation of an Orthodox country and its belief that it possesses the gift of a true religious faith, writes @DmitriTrenin in this look at Russia’s changing identity.
carnegie.ru/commentary/795…
Russia’s position in the global system has changed dramatically in the last 5 years. These changes have impacted on Russia’s identity, altered its borders, redefined its sense of nationhood, and produced a worldview wholly different from the tradition of the past 3 centuries.
Russian Federation started as a country that longed to join the democratic liberal order led by the US. It aspired to Western integration, including with NATO & EU. This effort failed due to the refusal of Putin & the Russian elites to give up their country’s global ambitions.

“I rise in strong support of this resolution. Ladies and gentlemen, the Trump Administration is engaged in one of the most unprecedented cover-ups since Watergate.“ -Chairman @RepCummings
“And it is not just about #Russia. It is so much broader than that. This #coverup spans across numerous investigations, and it extends from the White House to multiple federal agencies of the government to completely separate outside parties.”
“Administration officials now question the fundamental basis for Congress to conduct oversight. They object to Committee rules and precedents that have been in place for decades under both Republican and Democratic leaders.”
