31. This tale requires suspension of disbelief to accept

Fri Feb 9, 2018, 08:14 PM

Feb 2018

A person has to be able to accept that...

a) no one in Russian intelligence knows what "xcopy *.* f: c:" does...
b) no one in American intelligence thinks anyone in Russian intelligence knows that...
c) the guy who uploaded to the Internet every classified document the NSA generated for the five years before Booz Allen fucked up and hired Edward Snowden had a sudden epiphany and now cares about anything but his own bank account...

to accept that the US intelligence community has become stupid enough to pay the Russians to give us classified documents that you KNOW they've copied a million times already.
