Iran is one of the "Big Four" hackers, which includes Nokor. The "Big Two" are China and Russia, but you never hear too much about China.

What did the "Big Four" do before Trump?
I guess when the Donald announced he would run they said "say, let's interfere in a presidential election." And did China sit 2016 out? That's a big dog that didn't bark.

The basic story. The way the FBI investigation was conducted was full of concerns and omissions but there's no documentary evidence there was malicious intent.

I shot the sheriff but they said it was in self-defense.
Ultimately the report gives both sides enough ammo to fight their positions.

"Will Europe ever trust America again?" is really a requiem for the loss of European intellectual leadership. It used to be that America had the muscle and Europe the vision. Now, all over the world, the vision thing is in eclipse.

It's not just about the money, though in part it is. Essentially it is about the loss of faith in the great projects of statecraft, in its ability to build a heaven on earth. Perhaps this is not failure though, but success or at least realistic fulfilment.
The world remains a success, except for the enders of history.

 #Iran’s regime & lobbyists terrified of a Twitter account

On June 9, The Intercept published a piece by Murtaza Hussain claiming that I, being an Iranian dissident/activist, am a “persona” & my Twitter account is managed by the MEK, the main Iranian opposition group.
2)
Following the publication, Iran apologists/lobbyists abroad and Tehran’s trolls launched an orchestrated attack against me.
3)
 Although Iranians in exile and foreign dignitaries strongly supported me, Twitter temporarily suspended my account and reopened it after gaining reassurance.

As a result, Iran’s regime failed on an international stage in silencing my voice of exposing the mullahs’ crimes.
