@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa And take comfort in the fact that while you weren't committing crimes via text, an astounding number of people apparently have been doing so by way of WhatsApp, Signal, unsecured cell phones, Transition emails, the open ledger of cryptocurrency transactions...

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa Bank transfers via #DeutscheBank, Cypriot banks and so many other institutions which have to cooperate with the @USTreasury #FinCEN or no longer be countersigned by US banks... and thus. Cease. To. Be. A. Bank.

Clickfraud money laundering - now exposed.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury Gaming micro-transactions such as Counter-Strikes - now exposed.

Vast networks of offshore LLCs sheltering taxes or laundering money, as featured in the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury The sheer madness of coordinating psychological warfare through social media via what are essentially evolutionary algorithms... Just switching out stimuli & testing reactions endlessly to get the result you desire, despite the inventor indicating it's an unfathomably bad idea...

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury Psychological warfare conducted with the precision of a supercomputer - what Cambridge Analytica, Russian intelligence, et al have been accused of - means documenting everything in servers and logfiles to an excruciating degree.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury Not just the proof, but the crime itself frozen in evidentiary amber.

Proof of an unfathomable number of crimes.

Whilst linking together every asset and operation involved in chains of data that will never break.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury Tweets through 2017, archived in the Library of Congress.

People paid by bitcoin or Ethereum - an open-source, unerasable, online record of *every* transaction.

The servers directing the online assault, targeting, calculating and targeting again in an endless cycle.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury Thereby producing endless evidence.

Much of which was not only on those servers, but in logfiles as it transferred across the Internet, particularly at de facto chokepoints where data would pass when flowing in and out of, say, hypothetically, Cambridge Analytica.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury Every botnet as a living mountain of evidence in turn.

Not only vulnerable to counterhacking and disassembly, as proven by @US_CYBERCOM with North Korea's Joanap botnet.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM But to every grandmother or kid who found the old house PC or laptop was running too slow and just stuck it in the attic.

Logfiles and in so many cases, the botnet's constituent computers storing court-admissible evidence of illegal activities, if not espionage.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM It goes on endlessly.

Government employees with a responsibility to report and testify.

Corporate officers and lawyers with a fiduciary duty to their organizations and stock/shareholders, not a CEO, oligarch or dictator.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM The proffer cascade as a host of people realize the walls are closing in, but who know about other crimes.

DC staffers who know about dozens or hundreds of FARA violations in Congressional lobbying.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM Wall Street financiers apprised of financial crimes - 9/11 shortselling, LIBOR manipulation, fraud leading up to the 2008 financial crash, more offshore LLCs laundering money and/or evading sanctions.

And then... we get to the bad stuff.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM When the @FBI and NYPD went through that door together and seized all the blackmail videos of Jeffrey Epstein - handily labeled - they pushed matters to a new level.

You can try to politicize or propagandize your way out of espionage charges.

But assaulting children on video?

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM @FBI There is no escape from that.

Save by way of proffering out. Maybe.

But how much can you share, even if it's every crime you've ever been aware of, as a fully cooperating witness.

And we may not want you in a nice, clean cell in Federal Supermax.

Rikers Island awaits.

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM @FBI Terabytes of Darknet videos of unspeakable crimes, already seized by the @FBI, and easily datamined via generative adversarial networks to provide facial recognition for the victims, and the perpetrators?

How many others will need to confess, but have nothing to offer?

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM @FBI Jared Kushner reputedly on WhatsApp well into 2019?

The SS7 protocols for cell phones - and their weaknesses - being such an open secret 60 Minutes Australia did a piece on them?

The sort of thing that means we can drop that evidence without damaging sources and methods?

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM @FBI Speaking of facial recognition, generative adversarial networks, and ubiquitous video and audio recorders with transmitters - called cell phones - what happens when law enforcement can automate the integration, radical enhancement, sifting and facial recognition of that video?

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM @FBI Even just the security, cellular and other video and audio they legally have a right to?

Oh, and when lip reading can be automated also, where no audio exists for enhancement?

Are there any assets, operatives or moles with reason to worry?

@lauferlaw @NatSecLisa @USTreasury @US_CYBERCOM @FBI "The truth walks among you like a thousand reaping blades."
