Expect some countries to start charging US IC operators, for hacking and interference in their own electoral processes.
Reminder: the NSA has been hacking into governments and businesses all over the world.
- dragonwriter 8y ago> Expect some countries to start charging US IC operators. Start? It's hardly as if US intelligence officers have never previously been charged by foreign governments.
- mkempe 8y agoYes, for torture [1], assassination [2], rendition [3], and war crimes [4][5]. Never merely for propaganda.

- tw04 8y agoReally? And you know this how? Just because the Chinese or Russian government's don't make a public spectacle, doesn't mean they haven't indicted US citizens for espionage. I'm willing to bet there's more than one US government employee who would be arrested the second they cleared customs in one or both of those countries.
- mkempe 8y agoYour argument might have at least some weight if it didn't rely on super-secret, invisible gremlins.
- tw04 8y agoBased on your post history, I can't tell if you're a troll or actually believe what you're saying, but 30 seconds on google would alleviate you of your ignorance. This has ALREADY HAPPENED. Russia has enticed people they secretly indicted on spy charges back to Russia, and then stuck them in prison. https://abcnews.go.com/WN/russian-spies-swap-cold-home/story?id=11134463 https://abcnews.go.com/WN/russian-spies-swap-cold-home/story...
- mkempe 8y agoCome on. I'll ignore, for now, your attempt at insults. These Russian spies in the US were not US IC agents.
- dragonwriter 8y agoThey were in fact charged as US IC agents; they weren't US IC officers, though.
- mkempe 8y agoNow you're pretending that Obama delivered 10 "American" agents to Russia... Farce, idiocy, or trolling, I can't tell.
