1. This guy is former NSA w/the State Dept (or so he says, who knows what to believe anymore, wannh)

The 2016 elections were hacked with malware we found
on electronic voting systems and servers in key swing
States. We have numerous Russian coders who fled seeking
asylum as Putin began killing anyone who could tie election
hacking to Russia.
