Judge orders DOJ to publish info redacted as privileged from Mueller report

https://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...d-from-mueller

Quote:
Matt Topic, who was lead attorney for plaintiffs, told The Hill: "After a very thorough review, the Court found that the Justice Department violated federal law with regard to a number of the redactions to the Mueller Report. We look forward to the release of this additional information by November 2."
Too late, needs to be done next week...

Trump administration revokes the visa of a Ukrainian political fixer tied to Giuliani

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...16a_story.html

Quote:
The State Department last month revoked the visa of a Ukrainian political fixer who aided President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudolph W. Giuliani, in his gambit last year to dig up information from Ukraine that would damage former vice president Joe Biden in the 2020 election, according to U.S. officials.

The revocation of Ukrainian fixer Andrii Telizhenko’s visa comes as U.S. officials crack down on Russian efforts to influence the November vote. The revocation, which hasn’t previously been reported, came shortly before the Treasury Department sanctioned a different Ukrainian who was cooperating with Giuliani — lawmaker Andriy Derkach — and dubbed Derkach an “active Russian agent for over a decade” and said he was trying to interfere in the election, the U.S. officials said.

Telizhenko was unable to board a Sept. 9 Ukrainian International Airlines flight from Kyiv to New York, according to a person familiar with his travel plans and a Ukrainian government official who, like others interviewed, spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

Microsoft Seeks to Defend U.S. Election in Botnet Takedown

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/micro...110000220.html

Quote:
Beginning early Monday, Trickbot operators are expected to began losing communication with the millions of computers they had painstakingly infected over a period of months, even years. The loss of the botnet -- as a network of infected computers is known -- will make it more difficult for Russian-based cybercriminals and other digital marauders to do their work. It will likely take months or years for the criminals to recover, if at all.

By dramatically dismantling Trickbot’s network, Microsoft and its partners believe they will likely head-off ransomware attacks that could compromise voting systems before the U.S. presidential election on Nov. 3, said Tom Burt, vice president of Microsoft’s customer security and trust division.

“They could tie-up voter registration roles, election night reporting results and generally be extremely disruptive,” Burt said. “Taking out one of the most notorious malware groups, we hope, will reduce the risk of ransomware’s impact on the election this year.

If they can take these Trickbot gangsters down, why were these gangsters allowed to even exist?

Perhaps the ability to take them down now does not imply the ability to prevent their past activities?

Perhaps you could read the article, which explains some of the substantial technical and legal hurdles that had to be overcome...

Mueller Investigation Prosecutor Calls on Next Attorney General to Investigate, Prosecute Trump: ‘Mr. Trump’s Criminal Exposure is Clear’

https://www.mediaite.com/trump/muell...sure-is-clear/

Yep. Lots of unfinished business for the DOJ, once it has a legitimate AG once again. Don the Con will spend lots of time behind bars...
