Rhetorical question of the week (Russian hacking)

[Pluvious]

Just another obvious af item that goes unnoticed in today's gas-lit alternative reality.

Moscow court sentenced an ex-top manager of Kaspersky Lab to 14 years in prison for state treason. He allegedly passed on to the Americans the info about the hacking of the U.S. Democratic Party servers in 2016. If Russia was not behind the hack as the Kremlin says, why treason?

2. The treason-charge was just the cover-up for the real reason. Daily Beast reported on this.

This guy openly criticized the FSB for their habit of protecting russian cybercriminals in exchange for their services.

Now he was found guilty of treason, based on the testimony of a russian cybercriminal that he had sent to jail years earlier.

The american woman who was supposed to be his contact, she volunteered to become a witness in the trial to clear it all up. The judge refused to let the guy's lawyers call her (AN ACCUSED US SPY) to the witness-stand.

4. What's this?

You mean to tell me that Holy Mother Russia sent a whistleblower to prison and there isn't a peep of outrage from Greenwald, Snowden or the rest of the privacy bros??

5. If Snowden criticizes Russia, he's dead.

He should then stay away from tea (Litvinenko), windows (Sergej Magnitsky's lawyer), bridges (Nemtsov), doorknobs (Skripal) and elevators (Politkovskaya).
