2/ “Klyushin’s attorney in Switzerland, Oliver Ciric, said…in an interview that his client was sought by U.S. authorities because they believe he has inside information on Russia’s 2016 election hacking…”
3/ “Klyushin is one of several high-level individuals in Russia’s cyber sector who have been at the center of drama in both Russia & the U.S. Two of these Russians provided information several years ago that led to U.S. indictments of Russians for alleged election manipulation…”
4/ “One was arrested in RUSSIA in 2016 and jailed on TREASON charges. The other, Russian cybersecurity entrepreneur Ilya Sachkov, was close to Klyushin, three of the people said.”
5/ “Sachkov provided the U.S. government with information that helped it identify the 12 GRU agents it accused of involvement in the hacking of Democratic servers, including Klyushin’s senior employee Yermakov, people familiar with the matter have previously told Bloomberg.”
6/ Note: Although the media rarely mentions it, Mueller’s indictment against the 12 Russian hackers includes allegations regarding the hacking of US election infrastructure. That said, I don’t know if Klyushin has info about that. I certainly hope so. documentcloud.org/documents/4598… 
7/ This latest Bloomberg piece does not mention (or else I missed it) the attack on US election infrastructure.
8/ Note also that the arrest is of Vladislav Klyushin, not Artem Klyushin (who is also relevant to Russian interference). Does anyone know if the two men are related?
