I have no idea if Fox ever did check their IT security but it stands to reason that they were a target and their sudden decision to stop paying off the victims of Ailes and O'Reilly's harassment allowed Hannity and Carlson to advance

So I tried to make contact with Louise to tell her to give Fox a heads up that they should check to see if they had been compromised. She threatened to sue me.

She was utterly clueless. I have worked in info-sec at the highest level for 30 years. In the aftermath of the DNC hack when some of us were walking back the cat, I pointed out it was logical for the FSB/GRU to have attacked BOTH sides.

She went never Trumper in 2016 and then started a blog 'heat street' which everyone called 'Bitch on'. That was for Murdoch. Then that folded and she lasted maybe 18 months as an independent. But she was a terrible journalist.

Louise was a rabid Tory MP. Never a leftie. She tried to become an anti-Russian blogger but pissed off every actual source and ended up being fed nonsense by the FSB.

I knew her at Oxford. Mad as a box of frogs. Her strategy for developing contacts in the intelligence community is certainly 'interesting'

I have been looking for people I know who have been active here and look at their followers. A lot of those are accounts that have posted little since they were created.

The explanation will be found in Putin's cash. Before Stein, the Green Party was pushing for renewable energy. Renewables threaten to diminish the value of the oil and gas that Putin's power depends on. So install a Kremlin agent to focus on anti-vax and herbals.

The one microscopic defense in the statute is it requires intent. But given the requirement you must be in a swing state, must register to vote and Musk's handing over a check for $1 million, it seems pretty clear the actions are intentional. 2/

Over on the bird site, every post about Musk's blatantly criminal lottery receives a dozen turbochud responses telling us how very stupid we are for reading the statute which clearly states that offering an incentive to register to vote is criminal. 1/
