one of the two russian agents, one of the two fsb agents charged in this indictment today on t on the yahoo! thing is the same person reportedly arrested in moscow in december and charged with treason for allegedly cooperating with u.s. intelligence and that was an arrest many observers believe was tied to the russian hacking and attack on our election. specifically to the unmasking of that attack. same guy. same fsb guy. arrested in moscow in december, named in this indictment today? right now, the same guy already under arrest for treason in russia, that same guy has turned up in an american indictment on a totally unrelated hacking attack on the united states. hm that is, as i say, stick a pin in that because we don t yet know what that means but essentially we are going to sort out this russia stuff.
