I've been thinking about this steg stuff - hiding messages in pictures. One anon suggested that the gore and pron pics might be used for hidden comms. What if it's nastier than that. What if the cabal encode their messages in child porn?
Think about it. Child porn is illegal in most parts of the world. Most of us wouldn't go anywhere near it - even accidentally downloading thumb pics could get you in jail. However, if you're above the law then you'll never be charged.
In this instance, the Weiner laptop is likely not only a trove of nasty pictures but also a trove of cabal encrypted comms. If true I pity the people tasked with the job of recovering the messages.
