    New Trump defense strategy.

    • Step 1: Leak documents acquired through discovery to Russian allies.
    • Step 2: Have allies demand ransom to not release documents and then (maybe) release them when they don’t get paid.
    • Step 3: Wail like a toddler about how unfairly you’ve been treated and get a mistrial or get the trial delayed .

    Either a mistrial or a delay would very much work to Trump’s advantage. Plus, he can fund raise off this to get yet more money from the rubes.

    Also, it’s my understanding that Russian hackers know better than to step on daddy Putin’s toes, unless you like poison tea or short flights out high windows. Why would Russian actors suddenly turn on Trump when they’ve been using him successfully for decades? My money says this is just for show.—

      Don’t forget Step 4: insert a few fake documents amidst the real ones. A few fake invoices for services between the prosecutors could back up the fiction that the Georgia DA was corrupt.

        This tactic was reportedly what happened in the “Russia, If you are listening” packets that Putin dropped. Russia is at war with the US. I am going by evidence of their previous tactics.

        Why would anyone believe the FSB?
