Monkeys business
Wnu the Russians must admit it to trt reduce likelihood that the US (on rich they stored tons of Intel, and of course many others) will not want a bloody revenge. A lot of sh $t going on. My guess is China either paid a couple trillion to Russia for anything on the top 10 US citizens by wealth and influence, including Trump, Zuckerberg, Bezos and of course Don Lemon the most important news anchor haha OK couldn't say that with a straight face :)) don lemon. ..can you imagine? No one ever said "quick, get me Don Lemon" lol. .. but yeah very hard to hack Russia. .either they sold, or were hacked by someone they don't know and this way let everyone know including the US and other nations that names and passports better be changed, IDs forged, people rotated etc. ..I'd check the news for lots of car accidents etc in the next couple weeks
