Here is a good one!! - Imprisoned Russian pedophile appears to be linked to hack of DNC computers

WASHINGTON — A twice-convicted Russian pedophile imprisoned in a heavily forested gulag some 500 miles from Moscow appears to be the man a controversial dossier says helped hack into Democratic National Committee computers last year.

Sevastyan Kaptsugovich's name is misspelled in the dossier, which was compiled by a former British spy. But his history matches that of a computer expert described in the dossier who had been "compromised" by the Russian intelligence agency known as the FSB and forced into cooperating in the Russian meddling in the U.S. election.

The likelihood that Kaptsugovich is the man the dossier named as "Seva Kapsovich" answers one question about the findings of former spy Christopher Steele, whose compilation of connections between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and figures in Russia has been viewed with intrigue and skepticism. But it invites other questions in the widening probes into connections between Trump's campaign and Russia.

News organizations in possession of the dossier tried unsuccessfully for months to verify its contents. Law enforcement officials briefed then-President Barack Obama and Trump on the dossier in January, and it was part of the evidence the FBI used to win authority from a secret U.S. court to spy on Trump campaign members last year, according to multiple news reports.

What were they going to pay them? A Democrat's child? Release to a new pedophile housing project near an elementary school? Repukes are just sick all the way around.
