Snowden Doc Shows NSA Blamed Russia For Hack of Murdered Journalist (thehill.com)
The National Security Agency (NSA) knew that the Russian government hacked the email account of a prominent journalist the year before she was killed in Moscow, documents published by The Intercept show. The 2006 murder of longtime Kremlin critic Anna Politkovskaya -- who was gunned down in the elevator of her apartment complex -- is widely believed to have been a contract killing. Politkovskaya was a noted critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and it has long been suspected that the murder was carried out on his orders. From a report: The NSA compiled an internal file on Politkovskaya, which was exposed as part of the Edward Snowden leaks. Much of the document is unclassified and public, except for one top-secret segment: "Russian Federal Intelligence Services (probably FSB) are known to have targeted the webmail account of the murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya," the passage reads. "On 5 December 2005, RFIS initiated an attack against the account annapolitkovskaia@US Provider1, deploying malicious software which is not available in the public domain. It is not known whether this attack is in any way associated with the death of the journalist."
Seems you've confused Edward Snowden with Obama. This is not information that Obama released.
Seriously Obama you are starting to make Trump look sane. The last thing the world needs is a new cold war, never thought I would say it but Trump can't come soon enough before you do any more damage, I can only assume you or your party has big financial interests that are not supported by friendly relations with Russia.
Where did you shills see Obama's name in any of this?
Please get your own head of your own ass before you shill on.
As much as it pains me to say, it's Obama's weakness which caused this. Obama should've come down on Putin and his entourage like a ton of bricks at the first sign of misbehaviour.
PNG'ing 35 Russian spies today is too little, too late. He should've done that the second it was clear that the traitor Snowden was defecting to Moscow.
If anything, Obama's forfeited his Peace Prize, by emboldening the vile dictator of Russia. Putin is a savage, and savages respect strength, but viscerally despise weakness.
or roman like behavior... just being human is probably more like it.
i just read history and say meh, we have done worse.
So now you're claiming the evil Obama mastermind is in control of what stories from the Snowden leaks are published even though Obama's government has gone to great length to prevent the publication of ANYTHING Snowden provided to the journalists?
Yea, Obama is such an evil mastermind. :roll eyes:
Just like my inlaws that blamed Obama for the $10K cash transaction limits that were put in place 30 years ago during the Regan administration. Everything is his fault and everything will be better under Trump. You're lying to yourself and you probably don't even realize it.
