6. No doubt about the Ukrainian hacker caught and $6m

Dollars retrieved from payoffs to them.

7. He would not want to piss off a maga idiot!

8. The next report I hear on Bannon will probably state that he's in Belarus.

20. I would accept that objective, if not for the fear that they could still use the

internet to poison our youth.

21. Insurrectionist avoids FBI, flees to Belarus.

Evan Neumann of Mill Valley CA, charged with 6 crimes, fled to Belarus via Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Ukraine.

15. This doesn't jive with what I've seen so far.

What is there to do 'discovery' on? Bannon refused to comply with a congressional subpoena.
Isn't that a crime?

[hamsterjill]

17. And since everyone in America

Presumed (correctly) that Bannon would defy the subpoena, shouldn’t the DoJ already have had it’s evidence prepared and ready to submit? You know…doing it’s job???

People putting up excuses is not getting the job done. Bannon should be in jail NOW and anything less is unacceptable.

13. Bannon is not worth a press conference

16. Ransonware hackers arrested

7 suspected hackers arrested in global ransomware crackdown

WASHINGTON — Seven suspected hackers linked to ransomware attacks that have targeted thousands of victims have been arrested since last February as part of a global cybercrime crackdown, European law enforcement authorities announced Monday.

The FBI and the Justice Department were expected to announce criminal charges tied to ransomware later Monday as well as the seizure of $6 million, according to a U.S. official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter by name ahead of a news conference and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

None of the arrested hackers was identified by name, but Europol said two suspected hackers believed to be linked to the ransomware gang known as REvil were arrested last week for involvement in attacks that yielded about $580,000 in ransom payments. Authorities in Kuwait arrested another accused hacker last week, and South Korean authorities have arrested three since last February. A seventh was arrested last month in Europe.

So does anybody have a time and channel?

24. Just think if it takes this long,

to indict someone not a part of the Trump administration, it still sends a signal to people from the Trump administration who are subpoenaed, no problemo, just wait it out.

26. He was charged with contempt of Congress on Oct 27. Today is Nov 8 - less than TWO weeks....

....if this is about Bannon, that's pretty damned fast.

You want a case thrown together that is flawed and would be summarily dismissed?

[Hekate]

27. You're a busy little bee, aren't you? Not one but 2 "it's all over" posts on the same topic before...

…it’s even happened.
