tl;dr on the second one:
There is a strange anomaly in the Russian hacking indictment, specifically one of the "smoking guns". USIC "proved" Russia was responsible in part because Russians allegedly searched for key sentinel phrases found in Guccifer 2's blog post . _before it was published_. This does indeed establish authorship or at least foreknowledge. But since USIC wants us to believe G2 _is_ GRU, why the fuck would GRU search for sentinel phrases from a document that they _knew_ they _themselves_ hadn't published? It appears as if someone _intentionally_ created a digital fingerprint pointing to GRU.. Why?
