Time to feature some more reporters from Russiagate. Let's take a closer look at Reuters. For starters everyone should know about Mark "do the F'n story" Hosenball who has a close enough relationship with Dem oppo research firms to get this kind of email.
In October 2016 Fusion/Reuters hires Fritsch's buddy Kieran Murray to run the DC bureau.
In 2018 there was a movie released to below average reviews called "Shock and Awe". That movie told the story of the Knight Ridder reporters who got the Iraq weapons of mass destruction story right. huffpost.com/entry/the-repo…
Those Knight Ridder reporters included Jonathan Landay, Warren Strobel, and John Walcott. Well the gang got back together in 2017 except this time they were on board with dodgy dossier number 2. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Jonathan Landay's work continues to be interesting. After his work on the Iraq faulty intelligence his next claim to fame was his work on CIA torture allegations. He ended up winning a Pulitzer with none other than Ali Watkins. pulitzer.org/finalists/mari…
Of course you may remember she was the gal who was sleeping with this guy (James Wolfe) to get extra juicy info from the Senate Intelligence Committee.
And the guy who led the CIA torture allegations investigation for the Senate was Dan Jones (who then went to work on trying to validate the BS Alfa Bank claims in 2017).
Anyway Jonathan Landay had some amazing scoops. One of them was that evidence was found showing the Russians gave the DNC emails to Wikileaks. He should have probably given that info to Mueller instead of keeping it to himself. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Unfortunately for Landay, his stunning and brave resistance efforts were unappreciated by Antifa who tried to beat him to a bloody pulp during riots in 2020. dailywire.com/news/watch-reu…

Going back and reviewing some of the earlier examples of the pointless cyber indictment strategy there is a particularly ridiculous case from April 2016. justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/m…
Rarely do you find a cyber incident where there aren't a ton of quotes from various companies trying to get some free publicity. Maybe you can guess the folks you can find quotes about these incidents from?
When I was researching the OpenBSD allegations of a backdoor involving Angelos Keromytis, I happened to find a very amusing "security researcher". Is he a hacker, leaker, liar, or hoaxer? I'm not sure but Full Disclosure: he can be pretty funny.
There was a mailing list called "Full Disclosure" where researchers could share and chat about security issues. One guy was rather obsessive about the OpenBSD backdoor issue. It's possible that this post drew further attention to a certain blog. seclists.org/fulldisclosure…
My Hunter Biden thread. In August 2020 I chatted with @FOOL_NELSON . I mentioned Patrick Ho because I found it very likely he would be brought up before the election due to the connection to Hunter Biden.
It doesn't take a political genius to realize that this should be well publicized campaign fodder. No laptops needed. In my research at the time I found a bunch of links. Here's one that pretty much shows why Hunter should have been a campaign issue. nakedcapitalism.com/2014/05/r-hunt…
Here's a wild story. It is from a long time ago but some names might be familiar. In 2010 a contractor accused the FBI of putting a backdoor into OpenBDS. networkworld.com/article/219686…
The original accusation came in the form of an email to the lead developer. The email was posted publicly but the people named in the email denied the allegations were true. osnews.com/story/24142/mo…
There was a followup email giving more details which explained that this suppposedly happened around 2000 while he was working for a company called NETSEC. web.archive.org/web/2014072815…
A closer look at Angelos Keromytis and the DARPA programs that came before Enhanced Attribution. Starting with Active Attribution (a program that is attributed as the inspiration for Enhanced Attribution).
In a podcast from June 2016, Keromytis explains that Active Attribution was the inspiration for EA and spends some time talking about it. Starts at around 25 minutes into the podcast.
