      With Russian shit you wouldn’t hear of this, and the investigators wouldn’t be very willing to do anything in the first place.

      That you even hear about this is a sign of resilience of your system.

      Like a canary that’s dying, that is.

        Seems to me that the USA is quite close to having journalists / whistleblowers dying by suicide…

          I don’t even mean that, just the fact that there is some outrage, you are normally talking about it, and parts of the government actually act as they are supposed to.
