Q: Could the hack from earlier this week been DESIGNED to point to Russia?

IF SO, and Russia could demonstrate not only innocence but perhaps in collaboration with USA they can prove where the hack actually did originate…

Compelling ??? to cooperate with the USA & the terms of their shared nations' extradition treaty

Then they hang that fucking little cock sucker up at the gallows first, in exchange for rolling on them fast. I hope they only let him wear white socks, that little pickle smooching figlet
