Russians Publish Confidential Mueller Docs
2019-01-31
[NewsMax] Russian Twitter account published documents from one of the cases special counsel Robert Mueller has filed in an effort to spread disinformation, according to a new report.

CNN said Wednesday that the Twitter handle @HackingRedstone, which has since been suspended by the social media network, posted documents pertaining to Mueller's criminal case against Concord Management and Consulting in October. The sensitive material had been shared with attorneys but had not been made public.
CNN surely was not tipped off by Mueller. They must have observed unusual activity at the Kremlin.
It can’t possibly be disinformation if they are real, sensitive documents, right?
Mueller's prosecutors said the documents were not stolen in a hack, but rather someone with access handed them off for public dissemination.

The Department of Justice filed a court document Wednesday about the matter.

According to Wednesday's court filing, the FBI concluded that a computer in Russia was responsible for uploading the case documents.
A very slipshod, rogue operation. Maverick would have seen that the package was successfully delivered to the correct recipients.
This message appeared on the Twitter account @HackingRedstone on Oct. 22, 2018: "We've got access to the Special Counsel Mueller's probe database as we hacked Russian server with info from the Russian troll case Concord LLC v. Mueller. You can view all the files Mueller had about the IRA and Russian collusion. Enjoy the reading!"

Does the technical illiterate that penned that phrase understand how meaningless that is in the Internet Age? All it needs is a spoofed IP address and/or a computer in Russia that was hacked to appear to be the source for something sent from some secret evil lair elsewhere on the planet.
...Or the writer knew it was "Fake, but Accurate" and needed it to fit the narrative.

The Russians or Mueller was spreading disinformation? The way it reads makes it difficult to determine.

Of course they did - all the better to keep up the Mueller charade.
